  1. Nothing wrong with that catch...
  2. I personally would look at buying a newer boat and motor for that money....
  3. Good Feed.........................
  4. Have a 90hp etec on a Quintrex 510 Ocean Sport. Best motor I have ever had with range, being quiet and performance. Looking at now buying a Top Ender but want it with an etec - not a 4 stroke...........
  5. On of the best places in the country. I have just bought a house up in Tuncurry.
  6. I do mine the same as you in a way. Remove the claws, remove the lid, split body in half and brush out all the guts etc. Hit the claws with the back of a knife to crack so the flavour can get in. Then in a pot with chili, garlic and olive oil and cook until all is red in colour. Tip - use a rolling pin along the length of the legs and fins to get the meat out.
  7. They worked well in Forster this weekend. I can not beleice the amount of floats that I have lost recently with boats running over them.
  8. At around $9:00 a pop for crab trap floats at a shop decided to have a little DYI project. Made 16 floats from used milk bottles (thanks 7-11) and two cans of expanding foam from Bunnings. Bottle free. Expanding foam $16:00 = just over a $1:00 each. Fill bottle to a third of volume with foam and let the foam do its thing.
  9. Great mixed bag..... Always look forward to your reports.......
  10. My Quintrex 510 Ocean Spirit with 90HP etec.
  11. Well done and looks like your Daughter took it in her stride......
  12. Is the lake open, as I heard from a mate that has a house down that a way, that the entrance is still closed, but the lake is very low.
  13. Do they have more chance to escape than if you use a trap?
  14. Well done. Although I can not eat crab. Love catching them and hearing all the lip smacking noises. How do you find the nets work? As i either use traps or witches hats.
  15. I enjoy the smell. Reminds me of a good days fishing.
  16. I would say that it was the correct choice. Always easier to tell the wife that you need to replace the phone than try to explain that you need a new rod and reel.
  17. What a great solution to a common problem.....
  18. Current boat is a Quintrex 510 Ocean Sport that has two underfloor lockers/storage compartments that have moulded inserts as standard. I am going to convert the rear into a plumbed catch tank and hinge the lid and then use the live bait tank pump to feed water to this. Just seeing if anyone has done this in the past? Any do's and don'ts would be greatly appreciated.
  19. Great time had when I went out in the Bay yesterday for a few hours with my 18 yo son. It has just been like hitting a switch for him in discovering fishing over the last few months. Two x reasonable flatties. One x good Bream. One x great Trev. Two x good sized blue swimmers. Not bad considering the wind. We were blown all over that place and could not get any rhythm at my usual spots.
