Raiders Looking for a deckie for friday as i need to do some setup and trials on my auto pilot and my new tanacoms. The plan if nothing goes wrong will be launch at b/bay 4-5am and do set up of auto pilot then of to mollys for some livies and if the weather holds, out to 12mile to test the auto pilot and new tanacoms. If all goes well troll back to w/fad and have a toss around there for a while then back to ramp approx 7pm. All that is needed to bring is some bait and gear if you have it. I can supply gear if needed. Pm or call 0411266013 cheers bob

This has to be the post i have read in a long time. Good onya for being out there and its good to see you where rewarded for your efforts. cheers bob

bryon You wont have to worry about me being with out a tiagra. But i also think the the electric's will make short work of them jew's just as the 50 would. Just finished spooling them with 50lb braid 330mts . cheers Bob P/s If i was married i would have trouble picking which one would be more sexy. wife or reel

Pappy1 Nice bull should go down well on the barbie with a few cold cheers bob

Awesome fish Awesome release cheers bob

Musty I myslef have done that on many accasion ( wonder why i need so many ) but it's hard to visit a tackle shop and come out with nothing. I have tried to let some of it go but it is very hard and i do believe it is a sickness. It is a expensive habit ( sports ) but what else is there. It's that bad that i have 12 tigra but at the most can only troll with 5, even knowing this i still find it hard to get rid of some but hopefully there will be a day when i do. I truely think that my sickness has stemed from being a 2 x devorcee. So if i look at the seven figure sum i gave away there, my fishing tackle habit in the high five's is still cheap. Well that is my justification, But i am a sick sick person Cheers Bob

Raiders The new toys arrived as planed so photos now added. Cheers Bob

Raiders He comes tomorrow ( santa that is ) i got the call from the tackle shop today to say my new tanacom's 500s will be ready for pick up tomorrow. So with i went out and purchased 2019mt of 50lb braid to spool my new babys. I will post the pics a.s.p. I would like to thank all thow's raiders who have helped me make room for them. cheers bob

Bob I will be ringing the company tomorrow as i think this is way to go. Cheers Bob

Ok Raiders The tackle room is just about complete :yahoo: So here are the lastest photo's. I am hoping to have everthing sorted and the room complete by the end of the week. Cheers Bob

Chris Any photos of the rig. As i am interested in the rod. Cheers bob

Hi Raiders I posted this some time ago and was wondering if any more raiders have made the move to electric reels. If so lets hear about which reels and why. Since i posted this i have done many hours with the early reels and have been quite happy with them. So happy in fact that i have just order two new tanacom 500s which are due to arrive next week. I can't wait to get them out on the water and test them out. So keep tuned for the report. cheers bob P/s It's like waiting for xmas all over again

Bob Thanks for that i will check this out as well and get back to you. Cheers bob

Pel Thanks for that and i have got your pm so will look at it tonight and let you know which way i will go. cheers bob

Hi raiders I have a spare spot on the tinny. If the weather holds i am thinking of browns, 12mile, the peak or any where else there might be fish. The day will consist of some trolling and bottom bashing and jigging or what ever esle come ups. so if interested please call on 0422009685 or pm. It will be an early start at cooks river 4 am and all that is required is fish knowledge in all types of fishing and some bait.If you want to bring your own gear thats fine. Cheers Bob

Pel Here are the photo's and dementions le = 1mt Wi = 500mm de = 320mm cheers bob

It is tempting to insulate and glass straight into the kill tank but if you are anything like me I like to be able to see all structural parts of boats so i like the liner Idea especially so you can just lift it out to go to the cleaning tables and also to clean the tank out. Pel Pel I'm the same . I will take photos and get dementions asap I do have a few ideas but need someone with the know how. cheers bob

Roberta I showed this post to the and told he i could get a larger pair of oars for the crusher to help save on the fuel bill like this great women was doing. I can tell you it did not go down to well as we are now one coffee mug short. I think i will stay with the yammie for a while. Cheers Bob

Pel In the floor of the barcrusher is a large kill tank.The problem with this tank is that ice does not last more than half a day. This is due to two reason one being the friction ( heat ) caused by the boat pushing through the water and 2 is when you are at rest the crusher fill's with water which is also the bottom of the tank so if the water temp is 20 plus the ice melts quickly. This makes the kill tank a total wast of time. So my idea is to make a fiberglass lining to help insulate the ice slurry from the external temps. Cheers bob P/s will be happy to post pic if you need them

Hi Raiders Help needed with making a fiberglass insert for the kill tank on a 640 barcrusher. cheers bob

Arman Thanks for that i think i will go for the tramsom mount Cheers Bob

Ok Raiders As Santa said I had to wait till next Xmas for my tinny upgrade I need to fit a furuno 1kw transducer to my old tinny. So my question is. Does anyone here on fish raiders have a 1kw furuno transducer fitted to a bar crusher as I would like to fit a through hull transducer but not sure as it is double skin. Any help with this would be appreciated. Cheers Bob

I keep telling santa that my tinny is to small so hopefully an upgrade on my tinny to a 7.2mt razor line

Chris The easy way to fix this: buy 2000mt spools this way the backing is not an issue and you save money as well if you spool more than one cheers bob
