Dont get one... They are useless Unless you have 2!!!!!!!!

Well done Anthony. Great to hear you cracked the duck You must be itchin for the next one!!!

Top Session!!!!!!!!

Top rig. Nothing wrong with the Signatures thats for sure. Mate you have had more boats in the past year than i have breakfasts.

Great report. It has been quite quiet in the past 2 days there. I have been going for mid arvo sessions for only a few small bream and a HUGE mullet (they GO HARD). I think the very hot days had put them in deeper waters.

What a dream come true. Well done fellas.

I can only speak for the 60hp etec, Basically the same motor just more power by the means of a different valve that Huey could possibly fill yiou in on more. My boat has a LOT of gear in the rear and i am talking HEAPS, 2 electric downriggers, 50lt fuel, 70lt bait tank and the list goes on. It gets my boat (4.6 alloy) up and out of the hole extreemly fast and has performed A LOT better since i got the permatrim installed. Top speed for my tinny fully loaded with 3 onboard is 53kph. Not bad for a little motor. I use about 15lt on a full day, thats running all over the harbour, ducking outside the heads and downrigging all day (basically running for about 6 hrs) My old Suzuki 65 used about 30lt doing much the same and the smell mad me sick. At the end of the day its your choice. If i was to do it again the only other motor i would consider is the Yamaha 60 4st but as Huey said, There is a heap more value in the Etec.

Great pair of harbour jews. A Diary is a must for the serious fisher.

Massive Crock. Well done on the PB

Great way to spend a new years.. Well done

Roberta. Thanks for the heads up. How about spinning from this breakwall.. plastics or metals etc.........

Guys i got all the gear and a heap of know how.. But where to go and what to target????? I will have with me 2 X 12 foot rods loaded.. a 7 foot spinning stick 6-8kg and a 7 foot 6lb light spin stick for bait and bream etc.. Now where to go and what to target with what i will take with me. heading up after the silly season. Cheers. Vince

What a Weapon. And for your first king.. OMG!!! A true Sydney Hood Great result and great report.

Billfisher, Looks like the inner method is the way to do it if it has to be done. keep you all posted

Billfisher, Can you please explain the difference between doing it from the inside and the outside?

Just out of curiosity, whats a transom replacement worth on say a 16 foot glass boat? Has anyone here done this or had it done? places talk to? Cheers and have a merry and safe Christmas and a fishy New Year Vince

mate, more than likely its a bit of a combo. do a lot of research on running riggers, watch others, get live squid. Yakkas are good sometimes but i am yet to have a productive session with them.

Mate i would dump the bought squid before the downrigger.

hit the harbour today for about a squillion Rats, one keeper king 78cm, One HUGE Dusting , and a few tailor and slamon. (fattest salmon i have ever seen) The squid were on fire today and the Rats even more so. Towed a huge Squid for peckers to only smash him up. Then got smoked on the strip that came from him. (35cm long strip) Went to north head for some fun, Towed along an Massive Cuttle (at least 2 kg) and ended up hooking a hungry 60cm rat!!!!!! AGAIN!!!! There were about 20 other kings on the surface following this little fella, all about the same size... Kept him in the water and threw out my trusty Breambuster and 6lb combo with plastic.. How much fun!!!!!!! landed another 10 or so like this. this was it for the day, few missed hits, a dusting and one good fish. No pics, Fished solo again and too busy to take photos. Saw a few fellow raiders out there at the usual haunts... Hi!!!!! Vince

Ok mods if this is wrong sorry and get rid of it but its just 2 funny to be wrong.... The Man Rules­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally , the guys' side of the story. ( I must admit, it's pretty good.) We always hear ' the rules ' From the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note.. these are all numbered '1 ' ON PURPOSE! 1.. Men are NOT mind readers. 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. 1. Crying is blackmail. 1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. 1. Come to us with a problem ONLY if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. 1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days. 1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the OTHER ONE! 1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. 1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.. 1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we. 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. 1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. 1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...REALLY!!! 1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as fottball, cricket or motor sports 1. You have enough clothes. 1. You have too many shoes. 1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape! 1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Mate, I am on the same mission as well. May the force be with you. Yet another code that needs breaking The best i have managed to date is only a 37cm on plastic. Lets see what the next few months will produce. Its just so hard to not chase KINGS!!!!

A Nitro Magnum Butt rod for me. Will go well with the Daiwa Hyper Custom Certate 3000 that some how recently found its way in my collection.. Might need some braid to go with. Any suggestions guys? snapper on plastic is the target.

Well done again, Time on the water sure pays off.

WELCOME. 2 great fish in the one session. Well done.

Looks like the bigger fish are still in botany. Well done again
