Hi have built quit a few boat windscreens I am in the process of replacing my custom allow screen which is corroded with a 25mm square 316 stainless one that is proving quite challenging any way google Allurich ( not sure of spelling ) aluminium in Wetherill Park for their marine extrusion PDF for suitable section. see your local Perspex supplier for either Perspex or much dearer and better Lexan it comes in clear and tinted 4.5 or 6mm thickness windscreens in this profile are quite easy to build, you can try by building one using 4mm plywood till you are satisfied with the shape and use the profile as a template for your screen hope this helps Plazmaman

Kel and Plankton you are spot on. In the middle eighties we never mentioned jew under sixty pound. Late seventies amateur fisherman would catch hundreds of jew in a session. I recall one saying it was a waste really. Stop the trawlers in the estuaries, only take a feed and adapt catch and release. Fish stocks will increase and the pros will catch more fish outside.

Very nice

Nice read and great photos.

Good read as usual fron you Keflapod. Im happy you caught a feed. I was out there too and seen that big waterways cat, and thought it was a good looking boat also. A ordinery day for me fish wise with conditions that looked promising with the approaching storm.

You are the KING! Top report.

Nice fish bud, bad luck about the bust off at least you got a glimpse of it.

Nice one Poacher. You and your kids would of had a ball.

I have been going out from Greenwell point, but not recently. It is only hearsay but i have heard of a few marlin of good size and yellow fin off app 30 kg caught. I wanted to go this weekend but the crew are going to Homebush for the supercars. DAM!lol

I don't think you can any better. Enjoy the feast, you deserve it.

Well done My favorite fish,on a soft plastic.

Thanks All fish were released.

Top fish mate, bet he gave you a good fight, and you returned the favour by realeasing him.

Hi fellow fishraiders Had a top day tossing some soft plastics and hardbody lures. Went to my favorite spot at Lugarno and finally struck gold! er' i mean silver. You had to work for them, but they were there in all sizes, lost some big ones (dam) actually lost all my big hookups (dam dam) lol, Sighted lots of fish had lots of followers and lots of hits. What a top 55th birthday present i had on friday, did not have to work and enjoyed my faverite pastime.

Nice job Benny Caribbean Reef Runners are a top boat. How duz it go with the 200 on the back? cheers

I made the mistake of putting a mud crab in my esky full off beer,onley two cans were not punctured.lol

Awesome catch Jim bream Catching bream is top fun and they are sooo delicious. Thank you for sharing with us your catch. BTW if you are driving past Wetherill Park and you notice a big cloud of dust and cobwebs Thats me working on my boat! lol

At least you won't get busted for undersized dollies, lol good work bud!PS nice looking boat.

OMG!!! What can i say that has not been said. You'r a good fishraider for releasing them monsters to breed and fight another day.

Hi, me again, lol. Can't help myself, intersting topic. If you google released fish survival Botany Bay. It is a informative read, and how many fishraiders took part in the catch and release experiment at Botany Bay 2004? Was a interesting event held by fisheries to show the fishing community what is being done to restore fish to the Botany Bay Georges river systems. BTW on the sunday of the experiment, we had 41 deg and i got really bad sun burn on my unprotected ankles and feet, lol It is also important to note that fish were kept in live wells in that temperatues, which you would think would reduce their survival rate.

Yeah that's right George! You don't need a uni degree to see things arn't right in your own back yeard, eh bud.

Really nice snapper Kearnsy Well done in your new boat.

Im with you two Hodgey. If i fish a area i consider a nursery or it feeds a nursery , im strictley c/r. If i am going take people to what i beleve to be a sensitive area and they want to take fish, thay are not coming with me! I love to cook and eat seafood so i have fishing areas where i will hopefully get a feed. What percentage of fish stock would be taken as undersize fish maybe .0001% ? We we have to look more deeply into insuring the longevity of our beloved sport.

Good one George Managment fish stocks is a very difficult subject. I was lucky to experience fishing in the 70s and 80s with no bag limits, The decline of fish stocks especially in the Georges River systems and Botany bay (witch is my home turf) was very sad,having your lines tangled from the sea grass ripped up by the trawlers and then running the gauntlet across the bay dodgeing the trawler nets. I did my bit to campaign for the closure of comercial fishing in the Botany Bay Georges river systems. One of the main points for the closure to comercial fishing was the lack of trothy fish. Fisho's have the right to catch a feed of fish for themselves and their families. Also sportfishimen with their large contribution to the marine recreation industry also have a right to be able to catch trothy fish. We know the law and it is up to us to use the resorce in a responsible way. I am also here to make friends and enjoy fishing George, i also love to see fishoes with their catches and how they cooked their catch. The touchy subject of keeping undersize fish if not policed is difficult to handle to responsible fisho's, My previous tounge and cheek posts are just my way of dealing with the situation without anger and aggression. BTW George i wish i did have super human vision,so i could of avoided hitting that yellow plastic marker on the southern side of Caption Cook bridge last week and smashing my electric o/b on my 80k US custom bass boat!Felt like a real dickhead.lol

George I did not say you keep undersize fish. Im having a lighthearted approach to the topic of people keeping undersize fish. The people that i have lectured,(did not mean to sound patronising or demeaning in any way) have enjoyed listining to my thoughts on the subject. I do release a lot of trothy fish, I figure im fat enouth, and by releasing this fish it will breed and give another fishrader the same pleasure as it gave me, thats just me what others do is there buisness. George i come from a migrant family That helped build this nation, and am so glad of the fantastic seafood quasines it has to offer. What i would not like to see is aggressive behaviour towords others regarding the subject in question. And i like Scotty Lyons idear of management of resorses.
