when the mud stops flowin u will find mullet carp and bass...you can find the bass on snags...there are better holes further up behind branxton and in black creek...good luck
-
I mostly fish the rocks and always use two traces..one 80cm one 50cm...known as Newcastle rig..by the way I get plenty of double hookups and u have the luxury on long drifts to leave your rig out there if u miss one down as u usually still have second bait still attached..i fish cabbage with a hitch round weed...rick

pick one of hundreds of oyster racks and fish the sides for bream or blackfish...flathead are EVERYWHERE
-
between speers pt and warners bay is a good area for bream..anywhere round lake you will find flatties...up the creek at speers pt park holds good numbers of flatties..top end of cockle ck has bass..above weir..if you like rock fishin paddle out to moon island at the heads and fish off the island...endless options..rick

hi ant we fish lake Macquarie often and some days we can get upwards of fifty flatties..some days we can get donuts no matter where and how hard we try..things to look at are tide phase moon phase barometer and luck factor can play a big part ...advise is to stick at it as weather is warming bait will start moving and fishing will improve..good luck..rick

piece of cake...remove top screw which is oil level..remove bottom screw..drain old oil..oil bottle should have tapered nozzle on it..insert tightly into bottom hole and squeeze until oil runs out of top hole..remove bottle quickly and put bottom screw in topup a little if u spill a bit then install top screw...takes bout same time to do as to read ...cheers rick

ferry over to vic ..drive home fully legal..when home hand in plates after getting blue slip then you can rego with nsw plates..rick

there wont be a prob with your mixture its just a fact that oil in fuel remains when the fuel evapourates...if you take carbies off you will find brownish green residue in the fuel bowl...I have had to clean my carbies a few times...you can use many different greases for prop shaft ..any of the major brands have marine grease in their range..i use blue Valvoline grease..never had a prob ..it goes in all grease nipples on steering and motor bracket...rick

on the way to any of these reef areas keep an eye on your sounder as there is heaps of ground off norah whereas Swansea is a desert...rick

if it only appeared after you ran it it will be excess unburnt oil from exhaust in your propeeler ..if you didn't put it in gear the prop shaft wont have been spinning to allow oil to leak from shaft seal...if the seal was bad enough to leak you would have a puddle of honey coloured oil on the ground....fuel evapourates in your carbies but the oil remains so when you pump new fuel in your mixture could be as thick as 15 to 1...instead of fifty or 100..thus smoke thus excess crap coming out exhaust....rick

three years ago I got on ebay looked up coarse fishing reels and got one from Russia for $29.00 delivered ..steel backing plate alloy spool sealed bearings 5 inch diameter its awesome...my avon died on me and they are getting too expensive for the simple design they are......threadlines don't have the easy in and out control of a good freespinning centrepin......I fished norah head on sunday in the rain and a lumpy sea 50 mtr drifts were still controllable with centrepin but a spinning reel you have to feed line through your fingers then flick bailarm over to pik up line..centrepin is all done by spinning spool with your fingers ..much faster

yep...the latest two holes have a black ring round them.....we are thinkin the engine is earthing to hull and creating these holes in the forward section of the hull basically where it touches the water when planning...any ideas anyone ???
-
you cant drive out to the point at woolie its a holiday camp ..long walk. but you can walk and spin western side..try murrays beach jetty then walk north and spin for flatties..easier to get to...rick
-
in that situation drive forward and to the side of your anchor rope till you are same distance upstream as you were hanging downstream then lift anchor quickly before you drift back over it...rick

my mate has a stessl striker 5.5 and has had two lots of holes in the bottom of the hull...there are no sinkers or hooks lodged anywhere ..he has tested the wiring and cant find anything leaking to the hull..we are assuming the earth is coming from the engine..does anybody have any experience with this problem ???? rick

if your mechanically minded drain your carbies ..there are hex head with screw slots on the bottom of the carbie bowls...spray some carbie cleaner in then pump some fuel through to flush..if capable pull carbies off and completely clean bowls..ive done this at broughton island after getting crap fuel..its not that difficult I have 60 yammie..identical setup takes twenty mins to clean them from start to finish...if not take it back to service guy and voice displeasure...rick
-
you list prop as 13 1/4x7 but im unsure bout this as I have 60hp yammie with 13 1/4 x 17 pitch u may need to look at the pitch
-
wire 30cm long to hook then short length wire to stinger hook....I use haywire twist 4 turns then barrel roll 4 turns single strand wire ..you can use multi with crimps comes down to personal preference...rick
