  1. All I have ever done is a very good hose off after each use.

    Spray hose /water up all channels that you can get too.

    I also have a cheap garden sprinkler that I put under the boat that saturates the under side of the boat and trailer.

    I check and repack my bearings every 12months. At this time I spray cold gal on anything that looks like corrosion.

    Thanks for that comment JA. Members here are respectful and the forum runs well due to the great moderating team we have always had.  Glad you are happy here with us ;)

    HEAR HEAR........... Great Forum.......

    I am a member of other sporting forums and generally do not read past the first page, due to the ridicule and personal attacks that start to generate on page 2.

    Great work Admin and fellow members........

  4. You should not have had the fuel gush out of the filler if it was higher than you vent/breather. If this occurred it is suggesting that you have a blockage or kink in your breather hose.

    I have a deck filled under floor tank that also has a breather that is lower than the deck fill. It is normal that there will be fuel discharge from the breather on a hot day if the tank is filled to capacity.

    Also, make sure that your breather and breather hose to the tank is clear, so that your motor works efficiently, so as not to create a vacuum in your fuel system.

    Your like a fish species encyclopedia mate, serious fish knowledge!

    Thanks Rick.

    Could not find them on the fisheries size and bag limits.

    Do you know of any min size and bag limits.

    How are they best cooked?

  6. Hello All,

    I spent a relaxing 2 weeks fishing and boating down the Shoalhaven.

    During this time, I took my boat out and my mate also took his out on the same day.

    We tried call each other using the VHF radio with no luck.

    I could hear him and Marine rescue on the call channel, but we could not communicate on many the same channels, except channel 10.

    Can anyone shed some light on what was the problem?

    Hi all,

    I have my father coming over for Christmas and I want to take him fishing as much as I can. 

    He taught me to fish and is really excited at the prospect of fishing Sydney and seeing how I live my life. Unfortunately, I can't take him out in the kayaks!

    I'm not sure of the rules (have dug around), but would like to ask if anyone could PM me or recommend a charter (or charters) that fit (roughly) the following criteria:

    • Looking to fish the harbour systems or inshore reefs - he'll struggle with anything too hectic
    • Early morning start - half day - mid December
    • I think he'd have a blast fishing for the likes of rat kings, salmon, bream, flatties, school jews - if he gets a good fight without pulling a muscle he'll be happy
    • I fish lures almost exclusively so wouldn't mind getting him on them, but the most important thing is to get him on to some fish, so I'm not bait averse 
    • He's a bit of an introvert, so I'd be looking to book something for just the two of us. Not worried about spend at this point, but obviously would rather not go bananas 

    My other option is to hire a little run about and take him out myself, but I'd rather give him something a little special if possible

    Any help or recommendations would be appreciated - flying a little blind

    Cheers,

    Razzell

    Admin????????????,

    Are there any harbour charters advertising on the site?

    Can I recommend fishing charter companies to Razzell?

  8. I would drive and have a look see. If the boat, trailer and motor is not

    as advertised. Walk away and put it down to experience.

    Then have a good trip home with or without the boat......

    Very true in the extra safety side of it. And if you hit a hot bite can mark it!  I did use it on my old one but I'm interested to see how many use them to their potential. In saying that even if you don't use it much I guess there will be that one time you go " shit if only I had a gps on this"

    3rd this.

    I went down to Gymea baths yesterday, caught a few trevs. About 6 or so people were squidding of a boat and only saw them catch 1 in the couple of hours. Seems pretty dead. A good spot, which may still produce land based is at Bass and Flinders point in port Hacking. 

    Were the Trev's of any size?

  11. Better still. Park in front of your peskie neighbours house.

    I have had a neighbour start parking his mini-bus in front of my house.

    I asked him to stop - he continued.

    The next reply was to tell him that if he wants to park his mini-bus in front of my house. My boat (that is parked off street - next to my garage) and my future caravan will then be parked outside his house.

    Problem solved.
