    Bloody Mongrels at it again.Hope he was covered by insurance.

    Did he have any security measures in place and where they home at the time?

     

    No on all accounts but not an oportunistic theft as not visable from road etc.

    It was out of sight behind his garage so someone that has been on his property would be prime suspects.

    He has had a number of different tradesmen completing repairs from the tornado.

    Crazy not having insurance though

    Scorpio or Dragon

    in Kayaks and Paddling

    Hi Tara

    Never used a kayak before and just bought a pair of yaks for my daughter and myself.

    we live at Kurnell and even though I love going wide game fishing in the boat I thought the yaks would be great for quick access and sessions in the bay.

    we can walk down the road with the trolleys.

    i bought a Scorpio terrapin for my daughter and the terminator 12 for myself from the kayak warehouse at taren point.

    i looked at loads of yaks prior but liked the terminator 12 for included features and value.

    i am waiting delivery of the 12 but tried the terrapin and enjoyed it, I found it really stable and my daughter took to it like a pro.

    unsure about the dragon but the terminator was good value and came with paddle and backrest,2 fixed rod holders and a swivel Scotty type holder .

    i also got an extra 5% off as I joined there website prior.

    regards

    Hey mate,

    If the engine revved to full revs smoothly no vibration and then at 1500 rpm in gear I would be thinking it could be shaft/prop related,even something wrapped around the prop or shaft.

    Not sure if you have shafts or legs but guessing shafts, I had vibration on my old 35 Bertie and it ended up being a misalignment of the shaft to gearbox coupling which an adjustment to the rear engine mounts rectified.

    Good luck with it,

    Another Supertrawler - A repeat of 2 years ago

    in Fisheries News and Regulations

    Hi Raiders,,

    I signed and also emailed my member of parliament Scott Morrison.

    I received a detailed letter today from Scott Morrison explaining things.

    The content of his letter basically meant the government is opposed to super trawlers but is not opposing this trawler/freezer ship because it's under 100meters long.

    The "Geelong Star" is 95mtrs long with a holding capacity of 1100 tonnes.

    So as far as they are concerned it's going to happen.

    Regards

    Paddy

    Blue marlin friday 27th

    Well done Mark,nice fish.

    I thought I heard you on the radio last Friday week on a blue at the shelf when I was at the 12 Mile.

    I left Botany this morning at 6 to the wide fad for zero then trolled on to Browns and around ,again zero.

    After Browns trolled back to the fad for 1 bonito then to the gap and along the wash back to Botany for 1 sgt baker.

    Covered a lot of distance 150 Klms for zilch really but that's fishing.

    Water looked good and temp from 23 to 25.

    The chatter on the radio was quiet,some dollies and a black locally but every second boat in the port Stevens comp seemed to have had multiple tags.

    Tight lines mate.

    Botany bay today

    I was driving home from work at port botany at 06:30 and the foreshore ramp had signs outside saying it was full then ,with two boats pulled over on foreshore road waiting to get in.

    I am another who prefers to fish mid week when the ramps are quiet, one advantage of being a shift worker.

    Regards

    My First Marlin

    Hi Raiders,

    Thanks for the many compliments ,much appreciated.

    I laid a measuring tape out today next to my boat to try get a more accurate measure of the marlin.

    I would re-estimate the fish at 7 1/2 ft not 9 ft but I,m still over the moon and buzzing.

    I have to admit I am only a novice at gamefishing but since buying my new boat am committed to being a regular and crossing other species off my list like yellow fin tuna,sbt and a decent size dollie having caught smaller ones before, I would also like to get on to a hoodie king having caught many rats and smaller keepers.

    I have learnt a lot from Fishraider and Your reports so thanks for that and keep it up.

    Tight lines
