Cheers man. So you embed the transducer in Silicon not goop? Sounds more recoverable
-
Im a bit sketchy about punching a hole in the bottom of the yak, im so torn how to mount this damn thing
-
Ok, from experience dies internal mounting effect downview and how do you get temp readings
-
Haha get it off the road or be flattened
-
Been for a paddle, salmon and tailor to burn, fair amounts of bait around getting hammered. Im sceptical that the bonies are around yet, haven't seen any although people are catching elsewhere....

Hi all, ive got a sounder, what do i do next. Now before someone says google it, i have, and my questions are slightly more specific. Im still tossing up between internal and external transducer mount (love to hear opinions, ive got a elite4).
But im now questioning how to wire it. Ill run all the wires up high etc with the battery in a box off the floor, but if i put cables through hull, so they are permanent, how do i go about washing the yak? I was out the salt bilge after each trip and want to know what people think about this. All opinions welcome. Also do people use a waterproofer/corrosion protection spray on the sounder connections?
Cheers all, ill sift through the archive now as well

Is the weather going to behave itself
-
Just ate through a platter of fish. Good feed and a happy family.
Paddled or to find small surface bust ups that turned out to be salmon and tailor, all good fun though no monsters amongst them. Razzle score the catch of the day with a bub kingie. All good fun
-
Good hustle yesterday boys. Lucky that wind died down
-
Yer stuff it im in, i think i know the spot. I tried there when i first got my yak. See you fellas there
-
Do you have any plans in mind?
-
Is anyone looking at tomorrow morning. Looking at the wind, south is friendly in the morning, but sydney is nicer around mid morning....
-
If Sundays weather is decent and i can get the morning free then id be keen. That wind today would have deffinately made your job difficult Allen
-
That'll incredible hull. If i built one that's how i would do it. I think they're called skimmer/skim fittings, but im making that assumption off of my knowledge of pools
and i second the above. i would think a bit of chicken wire would stop those squid causing chaos! -
Had anyone used livie torpedoes? It's a tube you drag behind you with the bait in it?
-
Given where i position the bucket i can run the source and waste feeds through sculper holes. It's just alot to keep the few squid a catch alive....
-
Yes fresh = new salt water.
What kind of battery are you running on the above set up? Normally i end up with inky water and the squid die quickly. Then the yakka end up distressed.
Last trip i had to pull up and completely swith the water as the yakka were all on the surface on their sides and gasping. Did a full water change and they were fine. Almost like the squid ink was causing them harm?
-
Hi all, this is relevant to my kayak live well, but is based on general knowledge so i though I'd put it here. Ive recently been collecting livies for my kayak and have just been using a 20L bucket with a cheap aerator. It's nothing flash but it works.
However when i add squid and yakka it all goes bad. I know running a pump and circulating fresh water in is how you'd normally keep squid, but id prefer not to set that up as its allot of work to rig up on the kayak before every outing. Any ideas on how do simply keep the two critters seperate? All idea welcome.
Cheers guys

Tomorrow's wind looks ok. Just a matter of picking a spot. Middle harbor vs pittwater vs port kembla....
-
Of say it's worth a shot! I mean the hacking is normally not to bad, but yesterday was not good. Howd you go at nth head big rod?
-
Those are nasty little %¥@#'s. They're a parasite/tick that attatch to fish. You can pull them off the fish as a good deed, but in the case of a livie im not sure it's an impovement if you replace it with a hook!
-
There has to be a next time, we can't leave it like this haha
-
Hahahah no
I dunt know the final tallies of the other fellas but i got zip and heard no reports of sucess from any other boaties out there today
-
See you out there fellas
