Mate. I have a 15ft fiberglass half cabin with a 40hp mariner on the back. It's maybe 15 years old,Worth maybe $4000.
I put a live bait tank on it. Down rigger. Lights and a radio. Keep the engine serviced regularly and it's a awesome boat.
I think you should still buy a boat mate. But not one that's going to cost you a heap of money.
Good luck mate

G day Raiders.
My mate gave me this rod and reel about a year back before he left to move over seas. I don't venture out side the heads in my boat so I have no need for such heavy gear
So I want to sell it but I have no idea what it's worth or if it's worth selling. I was just wondering if any raiders have used this brand of rod and reel. And what they thought of it.
Rod: Hypafin
Custom built heavy game 6'2
Pelican Extreme
It has a roller system on it
Reel: Omoto
Kam 700H
Stainless steel 4 ball bearings
Gear ratio - 3.8:1
Any advise would be awesome. Thanks heaps

I have noticed a couple of boats with the blue LED lights on the stern of there boat. My question is
Are they there to attract squid or just for show.
If they are there to attract squid,How well does it work.
Thanks heaps

Good read mate. It's gold when it all comes together. Being on a boat is awesome

Check the relays mate. Same thing happened to me. Took 10 minutes to fix. Got 2 new ones from jaycar for $25

G day mate.
The starter on my 40hp mariner threw in the towel. I got quoted $350 to replace it from my local boat mechanic. I went on e bay and got a brand new one from the USA for $90 and sent over express post for a extra $80 ( had it in 3 days ). It was really easy to pull the old one off and put the new one on. Took about 10 minutes. It has not missed a beat since.hope this helps.

G day Raiders
All summer long my mates and I have been doing nothing but fishing and talking about going fishing,Kings and Jews being the main target!!
My wife finally got sic of listening to all my mates winging and wining about how they have NEVER caught a King fish. So she says to me. I wanna come fishing. I'll show you boys how its done. I said Ok.
I take her out at 5am the next morning heading towards the 3 markers sitting of dobroyd heads.Its only the second time she has been on the boat. I give her the 4-6kg rod with a pilchard hanging of the end of it.She wanted the pilchard over the fresh squid and live bait. I said Ok
I kept the heavier rods for myself just in case the king swam threw. I watch my wife drop her bait,Thinking snapper attack. But instantly her rod buckles over and starts screaming off line.
She screams, what do I do.
I tell her to hold on and keep the rod high. Watching my wife catch this king fish was AWESOME. After a 5 minute battle the fish was finally in the net. We where cheering. Best day fishing ever!!! My wife at 6 in the morning called all my mates and said ' I told you so I told you so'
A few photos and my wife let the king go to fight another day. She has retired champion from fishing. And tells me it ain't that hard to catch king fish
53cm king fish
Never take your wife fishing

G day mate. If your keen to drive to the nothern beaches.Middle harbour would be my first choice. I have been having a lot of luck with the Jewie at night there. There is a nice pontoon down of sangardo st seaforth. Safe for kids and easy to catch live bait. Good Luck

My mate and I went out to middle harbour last night and got this little Jew. Definitely worth trying your luck. mate

You are the man. Fresh squid in middle harbour is Dynamite. Well done champion : )
-
G day mate. I pulled a couple of squid up on a pillie the other day sitting just of the spit bridge. If I had my squid jig on I'm sure I would of caught a lot more. The where attacking the hell out of the pillie. I didn't even have to try mate. Live squid = BIG KING
Good luck

Launched at Roseville 3 times over last week. The weekdays being Tuesday and Friday where fine. No traffic at all. But on Monday being the public holiday was a bit hectic.
Putting the boat in the water @ 5am was ok. A thew fishing boats where heading out at the same time. Not a real hassle. Coming back In at 11am and it was chaos. 4 boats waiting to be pulled out. 10 boats waiting to go in. It wasn't a big problem. Took a little while longer then usual to get my boat out. But that's ok. I like upgrades they did to the ramp. And I'm in no real rush to get my boat out or in.
We just need a little patience.

Went Fishing in middle harbour this afternoon. Didn't really catch much. The water still seems really cold. My mate managed to catch this Hairtail. It measured 142cm.
Happy Fishing.

Huge lizard mate. Congratulations on the catch. That would have to be a personal best. Well done

I got the king sitting just of sugarloaf bay in middle harbour. Anchored with plenty of berley in the water. Hooked up around 7:30am

G day all.
I went out in middle harbour for a quick bash. Caught your usual suspects of bream, snapper, trevally and a 62cm salmon.
Just as I was about to leave my rod buckled over and started screaming off line. A few quick moves and a bit of swearing, I landed a nice 74cm king fish. I was pumped.
King was caught on a twin hook rig with fresh squid.
Happy Fishing

Mate. My outboard stopped pumping water. I found a couple of small pebbles in the hose just before the outlet. I fixed it In 5 minutes. Hope it helps.

I'll keep it quick and simple. Threw the boat in at Roseville on both Saturday and Sunday around 5am. Armed with pillies,squid and we picked up some live bait on the way. We went to
Seaforth bluff - caught nothing
Spit bridge- caught nothing
North head- caught nothing
Wedding cakes- caught nothing
And 10 other places for a quick bash. We noticed some surface action between the heads. But it was way to windy to get a good cast amongst it.
Managed one 75cm Salmon on a live bait in two sessions ,12 hours of fishing. I'll be back out there this weekend to try my luck again.
Has any one else had any thoughts on the harbour at the moment.
Thanks.

Caught this bad boy just of south head.

In a boat. You cannot fish beyond the red markers. The navy boys cruise out in there flash boat and tell us to move on
But I still drift past every couple of weeks just to keep them on their toes.
I'm not sure about land based fishing.
