  1. I have a Suzuki ealy 1990's DT8 2 stroke and only get up to 10kmh ?

    Thinking of getting a mercury 9.9hp 2 stroke or 15hp.

    I think the 4 Stroke would be too heavy overall.

  2. Jewtastic day on the Hawkesbury river,

    G Unit and Squidboy Finally team up in the Hawkesbury to finally crack jewies one after another.

    It was Sunday 20/6/10 and with not much sleep from the night before we set off at 10 am. We simply were cruising the river and finally decided to stop and drop Anker. The tide was coming up and we just managed to let out the two baitrunner with 2 fresh strips of squid, when one of them decided to start to scream away after not even minutes.

    Squidboy stop and set the hook and the fight was on with those strong head shakes we just know that it was a jewie. I finally got 2 cracks at netting the thing which ended up being an 82cm 3.2kg jewie :thumbup:

    We basically just kept baiting up and burling up hard while I had a go at SP, which paid off with a 58cm jewie and a smile on my face, but once again nothing beats fresh squid.

    We ended up catching 5 jewies and called it a day after just less than two hours ranging from 58cm to 82cm.

    It was nice to finally see the Hawkesbury River finally living up to its reputation after all these years of attempting to target jewies in the river.

  3. Thanks Geoff,

    I think I need to practice keeping my rod in a straighter line while casting a bit more to keep the loop a bit smaller.

    I'm looking at this fly fishing moves and I am slowly picking up my faults. It’s going to take some time but I’ll get there.

  4. I have a Sage Z-Axis 590-4, 5 WT 9 foot 4p.

    I'm am currently using RIO gold WF5F and thinking of going for a sinking line instead of a floater?

    Would this help?

    PS: I'm not giving up anytime soon, I won’t to nail one on a fly and cannot wait till November for the trout festival.

    My other spinning rod is a G Loomis SRJ 6400.

    Thanks

  5. post-13449-127357578073_thumb.jpgHi All,

    Long time watcher, first time poster, I'm SQUIDBOY's little Bro.

    We went for a trout fish early last Saturday morning and like always I had to try and out do squidboy again, at what we both love best. It was quiet all morning till just before midday. When I had this decent hit and run on a yellow wing big devil.

    I had my little 2 to 6 pound Loomis at the time and with 4lb braid I know that I had to play it safe. It was like catching a Jew with the drag Zzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz away too many times and for too long till it finally hit the banks.

    A 47cm rainbow which made the trip worthwhile.

    Regards

    G Unit
