well done on the jew!
If only my misses would come out in winter..... She is set on her times, Strictly December, January and Feb only for her.
Tell her - it is EOFY clearance on jews. 2 for 1. Only a few large sizes left. While stocks last. New stock will require bigger boat.

Begs the question, should they be tagged or labelled as farmed fish ??
As consumers I think we have a right to know!
I would expect that they are farmed, unless stated 'wild caught'.

Nice stuff, I was wondering about the Hawkesbury and fishing but these damn restrictions on places we can go.
It's one hour drive for me to...
Botany bay..
Pittwater...
Cowan...
Roseville...
Which are classed as in Sydney Metro.
But Brooklyn is also one hour drive yet out of area...
Are you sure?

No worries, makes sense. I guess if it isn't on for long, it isn't really a problem.
Pretty much every tackle box is worm proof and is marketed as such.
Once a small (2 inch) SP melted a hole in my tackle box. Since that time I keep SP in plastic bags - normal SP in normal/sandwich bags, Zman in original Zman bags, and no issues.

Frank we do not have any sponsors.
I will allow Dinga to be mentioned because he still gives fishraiders a small discount on purchases.
They had (and may be still have) a "diplomatic" team /ambassadors - in a VIC fishing forum. From memory they did not offer any discount to their forum members. So, I think we are in a better position if they still offer discounts to Fishraider members.

I don't care if it was the last one ever I wouldn't go.
I would not go either. Even without Covid.
If you buy the ticket and visit a decent Auto Show with the intention to check out some cars - no one will tell you are not allowed to sit in a new model Hyindai, MB, Toyota, VW etc just because someone bought it yesterday just like in a next door car dealership. I.e. you get what you paid for.
Here, it is not a Boat Show, it is just a annual market with entrance fees and a paid walk along the marina.
Just my opinion, based on my experience.

Ah ok. I thought it might have been Yowie bay in Sydney
I think it was actually that one.

This topic might help.

Nice catch. I don't recall seeing two hour limit on fishing though...
VIC has/had 2 hours fishing limit due to COVID.

I'd rather be buying 2-3 cheaper rods within the total budget (EOFY sales are coming soon) for the listed purposes instead of 1 rod that supposed to handle from luderick to grouper and casting 30-80g lures on top of it. Or, would just choose 1 designed for the purpose that has priority at the moment.
It is not a saving to get 1 rod for everytning as in best case it will do 1 thing well. Same applies to reels.

C-Map/Navico say that they will have soon REVEAL Shaded Relief on their Phone Apps without area restriction. They offer 2 weeks trial before annual fees, as well as integration with some sounders.

One last question what technique do i use for paternoster like depth action ect.
You can go under Spit Bridge or Harbour Bridge (Piers) - whatever is closest to you - in the evening / on weekend. Plenty of people to watch using that technique as well as results.

Great project result! What is the final length? Did you consider 2 man saw?

My expressed opinion was related to the provided website - not Fishraider forum.
What I meant I would not rely on that website as a technical source of information about line life spans, while their articles still can be used for entertaining purposes.
I hope that clarifies.

Hey Donna, how about archiving this one.
I don't mean to be rude , but I am struggling to comprehend where are those line life numbers are coming from?
IMO they should stick to their 'Fishing date' and 'Five real ways to make money while fishing' articles as it is more entertaining.

Yes, they love Japanese 'heavy metal' in NZ . From memory these have been at least couple of years on the market, I would check also NZ forums /FB pages for feedback as they have rather similar fish species choice to ours.

The definition of the requirement for when a fire extinguisher needs to be carried is-
Fire extinguisher
For boats with electric start, electric engines, battery, gas installation or fuel stoves.So I wonder what they define as a "battery" ??
Is a 6V battery from a Dolphin torch enough to need an extinguisher??
Every boat is required to carry a torch so does that mean every boat needs an extinguisher 🤔
Candles
? No battery required. 12.57 lumen each . They are waterproof, floating and working. -
Frank said the right thing - it is better to introduce yourself first on the forum.
Here on E bay - still 3 (SX 48F #311) lures are available:

I purchased 2 Shimano electric reels from Asian Portal Fishing and saved $1,000.00 compared to buying them in Australia. I do try to support local suppliers when possible but this was too good to pass up.
Nothing wrong with supporting local australian household - money saved is money earned. Just out of interest - do their products come with warranty e.g from Japanese Shimano or the shop one?

Penn Mariner has a solid glass tip - I would choose graphite or at least full composite rod for better sensitivity for lures.

Excellent catch!
What rod do you use from the boat for ludericks?

Alvey reel recommendation please
in Tackle Talk

I think MM in the mentioned rod model # MT7144-MM stands for Mid/Medium Mount, and the first guide likely is not extra large either and not far from reel seat. If that the case - I would be probably looking for a smaller - 6 inch used Alvey reel instead of 6.5 inch reel. Or, would get a proper 12 foot low mount rod with 6.5 inch reel for a better overall performance.
