  2. well Friday saw my mate n I heading bush..driving thru flogging down rain and thirty knot winds thinkin glad we arnt goin to crowdy head..with no rain showing west of range we were hopeful for some fishable weather..we seen the owner and dropped off a feed of snapper for him and set up camp..we got rained on late fri sat till lunch then sunday night as well..the fish were in a reasonable mood as we nailed a few each before dark..then as light faded the surface crawlers were cracked out and the fun began...we landed half a dozen between us after having missed fifty ;BOOFS; it amazes me how aggressive they are its also crazy how they miss them trebles..we done a lot of hard walking sat and sun morn and at the end count I had 19 and my first time mate had 15....most between 45/54 cm 1 at 56 1 at 60..some small fish were encounted with lots of follows and misses..i have started loading fotos on brag board as I havnt loaded them in my dumputer yet..i landed one that is the smallest ive ever caught..all fish released..all on lures divers spinner blades and surface crawlers...now I just need to make excuses to the missus to go again haha...rick
  3. yeah..i went rockfishing in a freshwater gorge im not that silly..rick
  4. Another trip on my fave river
  5. I only have the weekend so im seeing green......rick
  6. 20/25 knots ene over 2.5/3.0 mtrs.....yeeehaaa......hello mr cod im coming to get you....rick
  7. I don't want to see their teasers...rick
  8. NICE ONE mine had the Volvo leg with a ford crossflow 250..yanked it out and went with a 165 mercruiser and alpha leg ..made it a bit bum heavy so just moved stuff to balance it out was a good hull in the water but I luv my vsea now..good luck with the build..rick
  9. out of 11 drownings in a 5 mile stretch locally 7 were of Asian descent 1 Canadian 1 yank 2 aussies 1 was my mates son in law he tripped over casting between waves..big sea shouldn't have been there..all these people should not have been on the ocean rocks on those days...that's why we have lakes rivers and harbours...I don't have an answer to the problem I just just put post up so raiders and other readers of this forum can read about the futility of these 'tragedies' I just hope none of you smart people out there ever have to make the decision whether to risk your own life to save some muppet wearing thongs fishing on a dangerous low ledge...cause if you are smart you will be at home havin a beer not standin there to see this happen.....rick
  10. if forecast doesn't improve I think im goin chasin cod instead...15 knots ene over 2 mtr doesn't sound too enjoyable in the vsea..its a great boat that handles a lot of water but I like enjoying my fishing...rick
  11. does a 10kg kingie on a squid jig in Swansea channel rate....rick
  12. I used to own a supervee they are a great boat..stick with outriggers for starters lets you put two lures out into clear water on the outside of your wake..4 rods in the water is enough in a trailer boat a shotgun can just add more gear to get in when you hookup..its easier to run a shottie of a flybridge or high cabin not so easy on a windscreen model hull...stick a foto in the boating members boats section...rick
