I'm off to Mt Selwyn to take the kids to the snow for the first time and my first time since my 7 year old was born .
I also happen to be staying at Anglers Reach on the shores of Lake Eucambene so a few rods will be going along with the ski gear to see if I can get my first trout .
When I bought my new boat I asked the question on a few forums whether or not I should use a battery box as I had a battery tray built into the bow. I did end up using a box but there were few guys telling me not to worry about it.
Hooky's experience has just highlighted the advantage of keeping your battery in an acid proof battery box.
You've got it in one Andrew, I went in there for weeks asking him to get BMs in and all of a sudden "Joe Bloggs" (that out of Towner from down the freeway, there's a hint ) asks for them and there in.
sorry mate, couldn't resist. It was also aimed elsewhere and it certainly struck a nerve (hey Whitto ) I wish real fishing was that easy .
Glad to see it turned out so good .
Cheers,
Ozy.
