Can anyone tell me if this product is any Good
or are there any owners out there
SEE BELOW
Mate i don't know what more i can tell you, i think it's pretty well explained in the add.
We won't nor do i know of anyone that will split a pair of bases for you, i can supply a complete set, & you must be careful trying to match up as the older casting's sometimes will not fit the newer ones, hence people not wanting to split up sets.
The riggers retracted are approx 1.7m long very compact!
Sorry even though we build for & send Australia wide our displays & dealers are all in Victoria.
Cheers.

headed out to long reef to find some kings on saturday with a mate missy and his dad.
we got smahed by kings everywhere but no legal size all around 60cm and we also noticed 5 guys on yaks having fun when all of a sudden 1 of the guys rolled off his yak and looked to be in a little distress, and we then heard another guy in a boat who was fishing about 20mts away start yelling . he waved his arms and continued to yell for me to come over for some reason. we came over and then we saw what he was yelling about yep a great white shark about 4.5mtrs long and he was not happy because he was the reason this guy was in the water, he nudged him off his yak and was coming around for the kill. when we arrived he got the guy who was in the water onto his boat which left 4 more yaks still paddling. i left and picked up 1 who was about 50mtrs away and then returned to find the other boat had got 1 more guy in his boat but had the other 2 remaining still in the water huddled close to another boat. then the 2 remaing guys left the boat together and started peddling away after being told by a guy in another boat if you stay close to each other it should be ok. then all hell broke loose as our friend started to round them up. the guy in the boat who told them to go then had to reverse back as i went forward to try and hit the shark and we think he did because he rolled over on his back and all i saw was his white belly. we got the other 2 guys in my boat and then watched as our friend swam down deep. we manage to get all yaks tied and delivered the guys back to long reef behind the other boat and then found out his mate on board video the whole thing. what a day to remember. as the guys left they vowed never to return again and i said if i see you guys out hear again i'll kill you first as a joke but between me and you i have never seen 5 guys so shit scared in my life. i hope they continue to fish in narrabeen lakes and not outside again. if you want to get there side of this story i know they were members of a yak club which won i don't know. maybe roberta might be able to find out about the yak club.
And the do gooders want to make the waters off Sydney a marine park
I think if we are getting this sort of action less than a K off the coast it shows our system is finaly repairing itself after nearly 200 years of pumping polution (sh*t) on our door step,
All we realy need to do is ban the pro's or at least make a no fish Zone for the Pro's to give the fish stock a chance to recover, Look at the harbour it has never fished better since the pro's have been stoped. and that has only taken a few of years.
If the do gooders get there way and get a marine park it will be a food fest for the Sharks particually in the summer, You can only guess on how many people are in the water between Cronulla & the central coast every day it will be like ringing the dinner bell.
i must admit it is good that we are getting these reports It meens our system is getting healthier 20 years ago you only got a beach polution report which said what beachers were safe to swim at.

Nice to see U back Kelvin
I always enjoy your reports.
How do I get to be your apprentice (and is there a long waiting list)?
I have been fishing the harbour for about 8 years now and never even gotten close to your worst catch I would love to go out just once and get some of the fish you manage to catch (EVERY TRIP)
Think Im just a bad fisherman (That needs alot of help)
Any way well done & some very nice fish as well

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A GARMIN 400 COLOUR SOUNDER AND HAD MY FIRST CHANCE TO USE IT SO I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND OFF I GO STILL NONE THE WISER.
IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WITH A SIMILAR SOUNDER THAT CAN GIVE ME SOME TIPS
EG: HOW CAN YOU TELL HARD BOTTOM, SOFT REEF, HARD REEF, GRAVEL, SAND, MUD ECT
AND HOW TO IDENTIFY WETHER ITS BAIT FISH OR A SINGLE FISH UNDER THE BOAT I HAD THE FISH ALARM ON AND THE FISH SYMBLES TO START JUST TO GET AN IDEA BUT WHAT WAS SHOWING AS LARGER FISH TURNED OUT TO BE 6 INCH CHIPPER TAYLOR.
I REALY NEED SOME HELP HERE AND I KNOW THAT IF I USE THE TRIAL AND ERROR THEORY I WILL EVENTUALLY LEARN BUT THIS WILL TAKE VALUABLE FISHING TIME WHICH I DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF IN THE FIRST PLACE.
SO I FIGURED THAT THERE MUST BE A FISHRAIDER MEMBER THAT WOULD BE GLAD TO SHARE HIS KNOLEDGE.

Help
in The Kitchen
hi
can some one help me out with some advice on cleaning and cooking blue swimmers.
and also
how to prepair octopie. i have tried it before, i was advised to bang it against a rock for 1/2 hr, which i did but it still tasted like rubber
cheers

Cooking Blue Swimmers
I have 3 ways of doing this
First method
Fill a very large saucepan with water ad a teaspoon of salt and bring to the boil
After putting your crab’s in the freezer for ½ an hour (this will kill them)
Drop into the boiling water and boil for 8 to 10 minutes depending on the size
Remove from water and drop into cold water to cool down, (if you don’t do this it will continue to cook in the hot shell)
Some people would also add some sugar to the water as well
Second method STEAMING
In a 12” sauce pan place ¼ cup of water ¼ cup of lemon juice and some
Crushed garlic and Chili (or you can use chili powder if you wish)
Bring to the boil place crabs in and put the lid in the saucepan and turn the hotplate down, again cook for 8 to 10 minutes, again put in cold water to stop the cooking process
Microwave
Clean crabs (UN Cooked) and halve
In a Microwave dish put ¼ cup of lemon juice and 1/8th cup of water ad 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic, 2 chilies 2 teaspoons of olive oil, salt and some 1 teaspoon of chili powder put crabs halves in and toss in the mixture place lid on dish and cook on high for 3 minutes, again cool immediately (put in freezer for about 10 minutes)
Cleaning
Turn the crab upside down lift the flap on the underside of the body place your thumb at the rear of the shell and lift (the top of the shell will come off) under running water wash out the guts and remove the gills you should be left with nothing but delicious white meat. (If the flesh is powdery the crab has been overcooked)
