    Black Hole Eging Rods

    in Tackle Talk

    Posted

    If you got a huge budget for squid fishing then by all means get all the specific rod & reel. Just remember that you should spend the money on quality japanese jigs first as they are the most important component for egi tackle.

    Shimano v Okuma

    in Tackle Talk

    I second what Slinky said as I have owned both of them and I noticed my okuma trio isn't smooth after a few months and bearing failed after 6 months of use. I have to say I did abuse it to the max by using the little trio to stop legal kings. However, while using the Shimano I found they last longer and don't seem to lose that smoothness. One thing you got to remember is Shimano also produce high quality gears for bicycles and this wealth of experience is one reason why they are still the king of fishing reel.

    I have owned the standard fin, ST turbo and the full turbo fins for a long period of time and definitely worthwhile to upgrade. There is a huge difference between the standard and ST turbo while there isn't much of a gain for the full turbo ones. You can google it and there is thread comparing all three of them.

    Sydney Botany Bay Oil Spill by Caltex

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Hey guys just overheard this from other fisho that there was an oil spill in Botany Bay today. What makes this even more disgusting is apparently Caltex used tugs to drive over the spill to cover it up. I am so surprised I have not seen this on the news yet and where are the greenies???? If anyone got more intel please share and update.

    Suzuki DF80A electric wiring problems

    in Boating

    Posted

    I got a Suzuki DF80A and for the last 2 trips it was getting very difficult to start the motor. I turned the key then no beep and have to turned a few times before it gets going. Last Sunday tried to start it again and completely nothing. I could still trim the motor but once I start playing with the cable near the throttle control box the trim died. I can only trimmed the motor at the actual motor. It feels like a lose connection and I suspect wiring inside the control box are corroded. I took out a few screws from the control box and already can see some salt deposits. Unfortunately even with spray of WD40 the other screws wouldn't give up and I did not want to force it incase I rounded the threads. Anyone got any ideas where I should start investigate the problem? I will try to attempt to open the control box when I get a chance on this Friday and hopefully it is just a simple corroded wiring that need replacing.

    Harbour for NYE - who is taking their boat?

    You do all realise that everyone is going to tell you how bad it is, how dangerous, how uncomfortable etc, etc, etc. all in the hope that there will be less boats out there for those of us that do go and enjoy it.

    Think about it, plan it, don't rush the evening, try it and enjoy it, even if you only do it once.......then tell everyone how bad it is

    True that and I am going to do it this year to experience it myself. At least I can get it done & dusted and not always thinking about it.

    Public Moorings - Any at The Basin?

    in Boating

    Posted

    Thanks for the note Harold. I'm actually going to camp overnight so can you see and issues with me leaving the boat tied up to a vacant one?

    I'm also interested in camping there and leaving the boat somewhere nearby so any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

    Where is the nearest place to flush your outboard?

    in Boating

    Posted

    I usually flush my outboard straight after I finish but lately I found out the tap at foreshore ramp did not work. I live in Sydney CBD and struggling to find places to flush it. I believe the nearest ramp Rose bay does not have a tap and I don't want to wake up residents by borrowing the tap at Camp Cove. Is there any suggestion? I have thought about going to car wash places like car wash kingdom at Croydon but not too sure if I can flush my outboard there.
