hi all does anyone know where ( if ) squid is caught at berowra? thanks Billy

nice work top looking boat Billy

fishing holiday? kingfish on light gear on Parra river not good enough for you!!

same thing happened to me, melted bushe on the propeller, just got a new one

well done mate, last year we could have taken that kingie home!!!!! Billy

well done mate,looks like that tassie trip still paying off Billy

Thanks for all the help boys, looks like i'll be seeing Huey sometime this week Billy

i just got mine as well and as mick said it was quite easy to do and no need for the course, just do the online quiz over a week and as you get a question wrong do the review to study. the questions on the quiz are EXACTLY the same as the test. save yourself some $$$$$$. Good luck Billy ps if i can get it first time with no prior knowledge of boats or boating, i reckon most people can. also don't forget the compulsory safety course ( $10 DVD or online)

hi all new to boating and i will need to get my outboard serviced but wanted peoples opinions before i do. I have a 13 ft fibreglass runobout with a old 35 evinrude ( model no 35753H, i think made in the 80's). When the boats in the water it starts fine but wont accelerate faster than about 2-4 knots? Yet when i put the muffs on to clean it it seems to rev a considerable amount and sounds like it would have no hassles when its in the water. Could pushing a load affect it that much? Also anyone recommend a place to get it service around the baulkham hills area. Thanks Billy

Where about in the philippines are you going?, i have family over there and visit semi regularly so i may do a side trip as well. Billy

hey mate, i'll trade you my smilin jacks ( including the pink one) for your sx40's Billy

great report

what the best ( and easiest ) way to get your boat licence? I live in baulkham hills Thanks

might be harsh but.....sell it and get what you really want/need.( does it have sentimental value cause your uncle gave it to you ? ) Billy

hey mate, Now i'm no expert but have been reading up and listening to advice from bream fishos on the better hard body lures for this species. Now this is in no particular order and i think depends on the day and where you are fishing but........ HB's SX 40's or 48's Smith Camion Jackall Chubby Bassday SP's Gulp camo worms or 2'' shrimp Berkley 3''power minnow in pearl watermelon Good luck with it all ( your grandson will really appreciate the gift ) Billy PS do a search if you need more info.

Good effort mate, thats a very nice bag and did you also get big bream....1.6kg!!!!!!!!! Billy

good effort mate and an enjoyable read

good effort mate, did you hit the same area or move further a field Billy
