Make sure the kill switch is engaged. Last thing you want is for it to fire up whilst your turning the prop by hand.

That's great to hear that you guys think the harbour fishery is improving. I've definitely noticed increased numbers of kings and salmon inshore around the illawarra over the last 5 years. But reef fish seem to be thinner.

I feel very strongly about this issue. As I've just been chipped by Scratchie in another thread for voicing my opinion , I choose my words carefully. So here go's. If you don't have the fortitude to speak up then your part of the problem. These people do this because most turn a blind eye . Confront them , make them feel uncomfortable. I commend you for wanting to do something , but the offender is long gone and the damage has been done. Voice your opinion then and there, then report it to the authoritys. Think of this, you spot a small fire , your capable of putting it out, you don't, you leave and call for help. Fire brigade arrives but it's to late, its out of control. You, as a member of society have the authority to speak up. Try it, you will feel better for it.

Great report Stu, you definitely lucked out on the weather for your first trip of many I hope to the FAD. Shame you didn't get your dollie, next time. Try and get out there mid week when the crowds thin.
If you see people doing wrong , snap a pic. Waterways and the DPI would love to see them.

Strangely enough, for all my close in spots, I still use land marks, places like the Church Ground, Windang snapper spots, One Tree and so on, that I know back wards and front wards, I don't even turn the GPS (or sounder) on...
I love that , can't buy that sort of experience. Unfortunately for most of us younger models it's knowledge that we will never posess.

Beautiful photo. Where?
-
What year model? Two or four stroke?
At a guess it may be a throttle position stop , cable/linkage may need adjusting.

your Church ground marks were close, but not right, the Church was lined up on the drop on Cowrie Island, and not Bass Point, because you are well inside the Point, I used the water tanks at Berkely and a spot on Windang Island for my North mark.
Where were you 20 years ago, lol. Don't fish those grounds anymore , motor straight over the top heading out wide. Will have to check the old way with the gps marks on plotter to see how far off I was.

The base maps that come with Garmin units as standard are excellent, no need to upgrade.

No I didn't read your post in it's entirety and for that I apologize.

Here you go , those little smudges are you guys I presume.

How did you go guys? I took the pooch for a walk and could see a gaggle (if that's the collective noun for yakkas
) of kayaks off the end off the break wall. Conditions were magic. You had a fan back at the ramp , some cranky so and so was complaining about the guys on kayaks getting in the way, pfft some people. Guess you guys were out fishing him.
Did waterways pay you a visit?
-
Would you take that across a bar luke?

With the calm wind and low swell, I thought it would be ideal for beach fishing so I gave one of the northern beaches a shot during the night tide. There were plenty of big bites and strikes but from a bunch of undesired species - 1xbanjo shark; 4xshovel nose shark; 1x car shark. So there was plenty of action .. I managed to get one good sized 51cm tailor after an hour after the tide change, and I suspect I dropped a smaller tailor too. I lost what I suspected to be a big ray or large shark that took plenty of line too. So it seems like the beaches are starting to fish a bit better.
Whats a car shark? Dont believe Ive ever heard of one before
-
Thanks for that, I'm getting a hull fabricated as we speak just tossing up how to set it up. Get that nice hilux rolling down to kiama, a few small blacks about in close . Mt fuji area even heard one at 6 mile.
-
If you lined up the harbour entrance, church steeple and bass point you were sitting over church grounds reef shellharbour. Bringing back some memories now. Remember the old paper and ink printer style finders? , my mates Oldman had one. There were definitely more fish about years ago, didn't have to look as hard.
-
Has your paint got a "clear coat" ?
-
Nice report mate , shame you couldn't get a hookup. Were you pulling a teaser? How's the center console for storage not having a t top for rods etc ?
Just watched the video, very cool.
-
Thanks for the report Jim. Always keen to hear what's happening at that FADS.You know you can't get the bigins all the time , atleast your amongst it. I was stuck at home waiting for the school pickup , so believe me your day shat all over mine. Lol.
-
Lol pretty bad hey , pic from the net. Hope he's got a deck wash system.

The weather gods look to be shining on you guys for tomorrow. A mate at waterways said they will be doing checks at either Port ramp or Windang from sunrise, they hadn't confirmed the location yet. Double check your safety gear. Remember alot of the parking bays are for trailers only on the weekend, dont want a visit from the Rangers whilst your on the water.
-
If this is the outcome, ill stick to catch and release and a steak when I get home. Lol

If you feel the need to bolt any foils, permatrims etc to your outboard something else is wrong. They only hide the symptoms of other problems and increase drag.
Agreed.

Undersized fish taken, what to do

I also think my analogy is relevant ie - small manageable problem manifests into a large unmanageable problem due to the lack of immediate action. Further more any member of society has the right to enforce current laws, as society is responsible for the laws existence. So in effect we are the law.
Make no mistake I don't condone violence as some have eluded to. Confronting an individual need not be unpleasant. Law enforcement / security professionals do it every day without incident . As I've already stated I have strong beliefs on this subject, I also don't expect everyone to agree. I just wish more people possessed the inner strength to act on there beliefs in a more immediate manner.
