    EP's - 2 Days, 2 Rivers, Lots of Fish

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    The trailing/stinger hook design of the ZX Ecogear vibes work well if you ask me. I caught a nice 60cm flathead on one and it pinned him right in the lip. They sorta work like circle hooks, the fish inhales the lure and on the way out the trailing hooks grab the inside of the jaw or mouth. It's a lot "cleaner" than the other vibes with 2 sets of trebles. I still use the other one, it just depends where I am fishing and what I am chasing. Obviously these work better around snaggy areas as you aren't dragging trebles around.

    Leader material

    Berkley Vanish is far from the best fluoro leader out there. No wonder people who tried Vanish claimed that it broke easily etc etc. 

    I've never had knot strength problems with fluoro ever and I fish light (4lb or 6lb) almost exclusively. Find a good quality brand such as Nitlon or Yamatoyo. Those who find it breaks easily due to pressure/impact would be running short leaders. Try running 2.5m+ of leader and watch how much of a difference it makes. You can run a tighter drag and use the stretch more effectively.

    I'd never want to be running mono leader around any sort of structure.

    Psychotic Trailer Lights - Help!

    Thanks for all the responses!

    I did have another box trailer connected to the car, works fine. I will connect the boat trailer to the wifes car and see if it does the same.

    It only makes the lights in my car play up when the trailer is connected so it isn't my car however I will check. Might be time to re-wire the trailer!

    Psychotic Trailer Lights - Help!

    The lights on my trailer are playing up.

    Started a few weeks ago with the lights not working at all. Checked the inside of the 7-pin adapter and it was a bit corroded and lots of gunk in there so have changed that, now seats perfectly into the rear of my car. 

    Lights worked fine.

    Now they are back to playing up. Sometimes the left indicator gets stuck on which keeps the indicator light on my dashboard lit up. Then when I put my foot on the brake, the headlights come on in my car! I can't figure out what to do. Any advice?

    Advice Needed - Recharging Electric Motor Battery

    in Boating

    Posted

    HI All,

    I was hoping for some quick advice. I have a small tinny with a 65lb bow mount motor. I have done 4 outings using the leccie connected to a Century Marine Pro 730.

    The battery still has good charge (green light with red inner dot on display window). Do I keep running it down before I charge it or should I be charging it after every couple of outings and not letting it drain down too far?

    I have purchased a 7 stage smart charger (10A) to charge it with however I need to know what the best actions are to keep the battery in good condition for a long service life.

    Kind Regards

    Nick

    Harbour Bream 4/12

    Fished the Harbour with my 2 eldest sons today. Focused on jetties and rock walls affected by Rivercat wash/waves. Found a few stonkers! Nice feed for dinner! Damage was done with 2" Gulp Grubs.
