    High guys, When it comes to tuna, I'm a real noob. Just wondering if anyone can share a few pointers on catching albacore. Are they best caught trolling ? Jigging? Cubing? I don't have 1kw transducer. Thx in advnce!

    Do you do anything to reduce its exposure to sea spray ?

    Hi guys, the other day I was out at Browns and noticed my electric reel was coppin a fair amount of sea spray. After wards, the battery terminals were displaying some corrosion. Just wondering how everyone prevents this on their gear? Cheers

    Thanks Galini. Solid advice

    Thanks guys. I'll build up some experience before ever thinking about this again. Cheers

    Hi guys, i was thinking of heading offshore (Browns) at night. Just wondering if you guys think it's a bad idea? Is there a big risk and hitting submerged objects at night? I was worried about hitting a big whale at 20knots or something Cheers

    Yeh I did drill a hole. There r "grills" on the filter and I suspect that's where the water pressure is lost

    I have a rule as well in exactly the same setup as the pic geoff posted up. My pick up does nothing at all as there are holes at the bottom of the pump (ie. The blue base bit)

    Thanks madracket.. My unit is a lowrance hds7 touch gen2. I don't think it supports chirp Think I'll have to get a 1kw. Thanks for all the help guys. Much appreciated !

    Nice.. I'll do some research. Thanks mate!

    What transducer r u running ? I was there on Sunday but couldn't pick up bottom over the mountain
  14. VViCKiD
    Thanks guys. I did notice occassionally I would pick up some bottom. But definitely it wasn't clear.

    Thanks roylo.. Yeh I was hoping on 50hz mode it could do the trick

    Hi guys, So yesterday I went out to Browns(450m deep). My sounder gave me trouble all day and couldn't pick up the bottom. I have a lowrance hds 7 touch gen2 with transducer hst-dfsbl. The settings I had were: -installation = hst dfsbl - 50 Hz mode - fishing mode = deep water - ping speed = 3 - sensitivity = 90% - scroll speed = 25-50% Do these settings look correct to you? Would you have a page up on configuring Sounders? What are your settings? Many thanks in advance ! Cheers

    Thanks for the pointers guys. Will change to some nice 50lb line from big w Cheers
  18. VViCKiD
    Ohh I was going to have 1m of 20lb line for a break away
  19. VViCKiD
    Massive thanks amkr ! But I'd hate to trouble you
  20. VViCKiD
    thanks rexaway. Thats a great idea. I'll probably drill and use cable ties for an easy breakaway if need be. I've order 32mm x 45cm lengths cut. should be 13 deep drop weights on a 6m length
  21. VViCKiD
    do u lose them from slipping often ?
  22. VViCKiD
    Thanks guys. Sounds the 32mm reo bar is the go. Found a place that sells them $52 for 6m. Sounds a bit cheap to me though. Perhaps I was quoted wrong. How do you rig the bar? Do you drill a hole in it?
  23. VViCKiD
    Yeh I tried looking for the sash weights but can't seem to find them. Pvc and concrete didn't sound that dense though. I've heard of 24mm steel reo bars though Bunnings only seems to sell 12mm as thickest
  24. VViCKiD
    Hi guys, I've hearinng about people using all sorts of substitutes for deep dropping. Eg. Steel reinforcing bars, window sash weights etc. Just wondering what gauge people use for the bars and where do you get the sash weights? Thx in advance
  25. VViCKiD
    Thanks zmk. Yeh I had that issue previously as well. What I do now on cold start is just turn the key. If it doesn't start, I push in the choke and that seems to work pretty well
