paddled around on ski on dusk and landed a2.2kg calamari in sydney about 15 years ago,weighed at the butchers the next day.have caught hundreds this way.Telling no lies I hooked agiant one night and played it for over 10 minutes.Every time I got it in it dived beneath the ski.Iwasnt about to do anything stupid and let it go when it took off to tire it. About the7 or 8th time it dogged it under the ski it drew the line in and it drew in the line and cut it with its beak..A big smart squid.A cuttlefish you say?Inever caught a single cuttle in many hundreds so Idont think so.Only ever encountered that one biggie and one bitten off trace in 20 plus years.Happy fishin wizza

the ones we lose seem to give a more intense recall and learning experience than the fish we land.congratulations on the effort

drifted a couple of miles out of port jackson today.went late back early.Red hot bite on flatties small samsons mowies and miscellaneous.No photos.plenty of doubles.Im guessing the dropping barometer turned them on.cheers wizza

Hey Flickn dont forget the spare anchor or two cheers wizza

Mate you should do well .Youve got more tackle than ET on his honeymoon. cheers wizza

Hi jet01 I have the same boat as crazy col with a smaller motor.I find that placing a 4gallon container of ballast water in the front makes it much more sea kindly and flatter running.cheers wizza

Tim Wintonesque prose ,well done.wizza

Huy great kingie.Your turn next.cheers wizza

heyJames if a tinny has been beach launched it can have a paper thin bottom.Dragging over sand acts like sandpapering although it takes many years.cheers wizza

Thanks for showing us how its done.Great work .wizza

Hi Paikea thanks for sharing.The wrap around issue is very dangerous in a tinny in deep water in heavy current because you have to sit in the back of the boat trying to free the line .the boat rear turns into the current. One helpful thing is to attach the recovery ball to the rope direct through its centre rather than by a lanyard reducing the fouling opportunity.cheers wizza

great work and you missed the chinaman jackets cheers wizza

great to see results for effort! cheers wizza

Saw a very large whiting yesterday next to rose bay walkway while returning from parking car after launching boat .It was nosing the wall in afoot of water doing half rolls.presumably it was dying of old age. caught 8 reds to 1.3 kg and jackets from under the boat in 60 m. and mowies. A tourist in asuit from abus got in an absent owners boat tied up at the wharf posing for many photos by his mates presumably a frustrated captain holding the wheel.. cheers wiz

hi Paikea i had avery similar leak.my tradie nephew looked everywhere and found no cracks. He then carefully applied sikaflex around the bungholes and not a leak now for 2 years. good luck wizza
