Nice work guys hope you stay in the lead

Nice work buddy good on ya

Everybody has cameras on their phones so why not take video footage or snap shots then give to fisheries see if they will do anything about it, i doubt not its the honest guys that always get pinned for the slightest little thing

Nice one well done, that hook was set well

Great way to start the year hope your next one is bigger

Hey guys i used to have the hds5x aswell i contacted navionics or navico at lane cove west there & because it was still under warranty they did the upgrade free, hell of a difference heaps better with the latest software.Prior to the upgrade i couldnt get clear images & lost bottom at about 4-500mtrs & after the upgrade i was picking up bottom while cubbing at 1400mtrs, but i do have a 1kw tm260 transducer. But have since sold the unit to my cousin & upgraded to a hds8 awsome even better for the type of fishing i do.

Nothing wrong with airmar, just depends on the depth of water he will be using it in, i had the airmar tm260 on a hds 5 & picked up bottom at 1460mtrs, i sold the hds5 & got a hds8 its even better

How about you take me & ill dive for them & give you half every time

Awsome stuff mate good on ya, your smile says it all

Looks like fresh slabs of taylor are working well or is it salmon Good work mate

That is lush i know what im doing with my tuna's from now on

You will have fun as lately the seals & sharks steal most of your fish before you get them up its been a nightmare with these buggers out there lately,

I think they should also intall cctv cameras at boat ramps & the carpark for boat trailers. Every dog has his day.

Well done guys beautifull fin you got there.

May i ask as iv never fished for them or even caught one but how do they go on the chew, are they really that good to brave the traggic weather conditions ??

Cracker fish mate well done & a big congrats to ya

Nice fish mate well done, so if you dont mind me asking what trick did u use to catch it with ? Did you fed him a pilly or something else, like a live bait ?

Good on ya guys great stuff they are an awsome fish What type of lure did the damage on the fin if you dont me asking ??

yeah mate i still have it exactly the same as the one in your pic. ID 81 1108726 www.vemco.com, thats whats on the tag ive got.

Thats exactly how the fish was i caught same hole & missing scales very painfull looking indeed, i actually did the fish a favour & cut the thing off before i released it. As you said by the time the fish got bigger that cable tie would have dug into the body, very nasty set up.

Hi fellow raiders, was hoping that someone mite be able to shed some experience on this transducer if at all anyone has this set up on a Lowrance HDS model. Just wondering if it performs well out past the shelf & as deep as around browns etc as they are the usual areas i fish. Am tossing up between the tm258 or the 260, as there is a price difference between the two, any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Funny you say that as i caught one aswell near spit bridge and believe it or not it was caught on my bait jig about 2mtrs below the boat i could not believe it on the smallest hook it went 58cm i felt like cutting the transmitter off coz the way they had this tag going thru the middle of the back it was an unpleasant looking site it was painfull looking & all the scales where missing in that area of its back. Wouldnt mind putting a cable tie thru the persons back & see how they would like it, i would have to say the tags that are put into marlin etc seem to be the way to go not these things. It was released after recording the number.

Try collecting the big brown kinners ( sea urchin ) i have a few kiwi mates that absolutely love them & they say the brown ones have more roe & is sweeter.

I totally disagree, but its not worth the argument is it

Lowrance hds 5 would be a great unit for what you want.
