fab1, love your work.

My chains go under and cross ways and connected with 2 stainless carabeanas rated at 3500kg each.

Hello Paikea, I don't think there this a law for these tow bar connection, But for example you don't want go down the highway and say the trailer comes of the tow ball if your got a shit/ cheap d shackle with the weight and motion the will break / snap / stretch , and disconnect then if at speed your trailer will go anywhere. You want it to stay connected. That's why everything has to be rated , proply, You see now with these new 4wd;s that the tow bar has d shackles on both sides at the bottom there painted yellow and there the proper rated d shackles. If you are to connect trailer to car then you need these to be again d shackle that are rated. You cant put just any cheap shackle on your trailer cause under weight they wont hold. And I don't think INSURANCE will tell you this until its to late , THEN SORRY THEY SAY YOU HAVE NOT THE RIGHT RATED CONNECTIONS. I myself have a big boat and one day, I broke down up the coast , the towie put my car on the tilt tray and boat he towed home , on the way home this truckie pulled up next to us and talking on the CB he said is that you towing the boat , Yes it is . What happened is cause of bounce in the road the d shackle that held the boat down on trailer on the front could not handle the load so the boat was bouncing around on the trailer the only thing holding the boat was the strap on the back, SHIT I WAS LUCKY. So that's my point, there are lots of people out there who don't connect to there trailers proply. It is a touchy subject which I don't think many people take much care about until its to late. And I don't take offence about at your comments SAFTY FIRST that's why where here for taking advise and listen to others and there views. But I think everyone should take NOTICE and check there trailers.

Hope your not using that carabina style clip to hold the boat to the tow bar mount, It not rated , That's what it looks like .

Hello, yeh I was unlucky , It just spun me out when it happened.

Hello , I had a float charger on my boat ONCE , Never again . One night I had certain power outage / short did not know were it came from any way went in the boat on the weekend and the charger had blown up , It was strange I took it back to the technician at work and even he was blown away. This was pretty good charger. What I do now is just put the charger on for one whole day then start the motors as you should every 3 to 4 weeks that charges them up , I will never charge them like that again on the float charger. HOPE IT HELPS. I also have 3 batteries on the boat. The trickle charge is ok when your away from or on the water.

LOL

Hello Robertos87 , Yes through Department of Primary Industries ,They tell you when they are deployed and remove , You need to sign up for them to send you the info.

Does not matter were you go and fish ,Its the time spent together that counts most, Hope you enjoy yourself and have a good trip with your son. One more thing I found is the kids like to go to Maccas after woods its top the day of.

WOW

I would like to mention the fads and how they get removed for maintenance , The thing I don't understand is why cant they leave them there all year, I am thinking big concrete block , 316 STAINLEES STEEL CHIAN. The yellow FAD float , Yes this can be changed but the chain can remain all year. Think of all the growth on the chain. One tip I can share is the old fad marks should be kept as the kings love them. The marks are not in the same place all the time its like a reef down there.

Thanks for the report pete.

That noise zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wow its been a while for me due to work, But its an a addictive thing , I guess that's why we all go back.

I was to go out on Sunday but due to weather I did not go , But good to see you got the dollies and the tunas wow extra bonus .

I like Coffs or South west rocks but October is windy , So watch out.

Yep I love them reports from the rocks , Sometimes when its hot its hot. I have noticed during Easter it does get big at the bar , But as anywhere you just have to take the chance when you go there , A couple times I have taken my boat up there and only gone out once or twice and other times its perfect and you catch heaps. I also like the bream at the boat ramps there's heaps . LOVE THE ROCKS.

Hello Pete in relation to the current lines, When I come back from BALI last year and coming in for landing we coming in over the peak, And just past the peak you could see the current line you could not miss it. if you know any pilots this would help heaps, Thanks for the reports , Also I will get some lures in the future just got to talk to the misses OUCH OOOW. HONEY BUNNY. LOL.

Spicy beef extra meet less vegies , 4 springs rolls , 4 fried dim Sims , 1 large special fried rice, prawn chips large coke , And the kids got MACCACS .

Hello to all, This morning I went up the shop to get some bread and milk, On my way home on the opposite side road the was a veteran with his medals on waiting to catch a bus to the train station , He had a news paper in hand ,When I seen this I done a big U turn went back and asked him if he would like a lift , He said yes I told him it was the least I could do, I told him I was HONOURED to help him . I dropped him of at the station he was going to the city for the march. When he got out of the car he just said to me , JUST BE GOOD, I TELL YOU ALL NOW , I will never forget this day never, I again told him was HONOURED and always will be. LEST WE FORGET.

Thanks guys for the reply's.
