back cruncher

Hi all... my boat fibreglass.

Hi all... well done mate,wished I was with ya....

But it’s stainless steel.

Hi all...nosliw,mines the same as the plastic one you posted up.

Hi all.... my bait tanks fill with the straight pipe with a cut angle on the bottom while under way.

Hi all....my last boat a barcrusher had a alloy welded pipe cut on an angle in the water end with a ball valve inside the boat.my haines hunter I have now has a brass fitting same settup as bar crusher. i agree with Noel on plastic thru hull....way to risky.

Hi all...well done fellas.Jeff never fails to put fish on the boat...

Hi all... well done Jeff,that sunrise pic is cover photo material. I be back soon mate,with a vengeance.

Hi all...scratchie,fishings all about being in good company.

Hi all...how’s the live bait situation Rick ? Catch a big one.

Hi all...awsome Jeff.

Hi all...zoran,fuel consumption and klm recording never enter my mind,you got to pay what ever it costs to go fishing,lol.but after reading your posts on your new merc,I will document when I do another trip to seals and get some accuracy to fuel consumtion. i enjoy reading your posts,keep it up.

Hi all...Zoran,you seem super pleased with your merc. i recently got myself a 675 hains hunter with a 250 v8 merc and very happy customer.reading about your 150 merc got me thinking about the fuel consumption of my 250 v8 merc. one trip comes to my mind,it is still today my biggest trip.i had scratchie with me and another mate,so 3 of us.we went from little beach ramp Nelson bay,about 4.ooam.went to cabbage tree island for bait and headed to seals rocks in pitch black dark driving carefully,at a guess about 40 plus Klm in distance.we mucked around drifting and trying many different spots,probably racked up another couple of Kim’s.we caught some snapper and headed east to the 100m depth mark in a hurry,which would be about 10 klm.we then trolled to port Stephens fad in hopes of a marlin,we done no good on the marlin.but at a guess it was 30 plus klm to the fad.fad was dead,so headed back to ramp and called it a day,at a guess another 15 klm,but we drove back flat out the whole time.im not sure how fast my boat goes,it’s either 80klm or 90 klm flat out.i fuel my boat by filling jerry cans (black plastic),they take more than 20 litres,around 23ltr chock a block.I put 4 jerry cans in my boat the next fill.at a guess I put more than 90 litres in.my engine may or may not have been run it at this point.i was pretty impressed by the fuel consumption even with in accurate Figures. i drive my boat without fuel consumption in mind,always in a hurry.scratchie and some other locals would be able to check my distances for a little more accuracy.but it give a general idea of consumption.im happy anyway.

Hi all...mowie1,cape York is the place to go.take a 12ft tinnie and work your way to the tip.the fishing is unbelievable.and the trip is one of the best in Australia. if you decide to go,contact me.ive been up there so many times i can’t count.and lived up there on 3 seperate occasions.

Hi all...scratchie,this time last year we were catching quality snapper.somethings different that for sure. isnt the weather into a La Niña phase ?.could that also be a factor ?. another month and I should be back in action...fish bitting or not,I’m going fishing once a week minimum.

Hi all...gengar,the idea of berley is to bring the fish to you,the only way to do that is to constantly berley.if you berley every 10-15 minutes,you make a big cloud of berley,it drifts away in the current and takes the fish away with it.

Hi all...you can buy rated stainless shackles ect.very very expensive. btw,ive worked on desalination plants,guess what there made of ?

Hi all...stainless steel comes in many many grades,used for different applications.

Hi all...carribean 2400 mite be what you looking for.

Hi all...I originally bought navionics platinum for my old hummingbird,upgraded to a lowrance and it worked fine.bought a new boat with a Simrad and it works fine as well.

Hi all...well done Jeff.that was a great interview,and so easy to listen to and understand.i learnt some more off you once again.well done mate.

Hi all...Well done fellas.

Hi all...hey Jeff,what time of year did you catch that other 94cm snapper.?

Hi all...well done mate,that’s an aaaawwwwwwsssssoooommmme snapper.
