[5hp outboard electrcity]

Hey fellow fishos,

Ive got a Suzuki DF5A, a 5hp 4 stroke outboard, and looking to maybe generate some electricity out of it. Apparantly there was an alternator that was optional, a 12V 5 or 6 amp alternator. Dont have that, but cant really find it online either. Any recommendations to an alternative?
I've got a 3m SIB, and I'd like to be able to go night time fishing etc. Currently have a 12V 7ah battery, looking to power a fish finder (probably a garmin striker 4 or 5cv), anchor light? the white 360* light, possibly some basic lighting (ill have torches but maybe?), and a LED underwater light (not sure whether this is worth it or not, but id like to catch squid and yakkas more consistently).

Thanks

Squid down here has been cleaned up over the break however will get them most trips out. Plantation is my go to in the boat but people do get them off the rocks and at the boat ramp there.

Some monster bream, flathead and tailor in currambene creek. Even had a mudcrab on the ramp the other morning which got the heart racing unhooking the boat.. 

What bait were you using for the bream and tailor at currambene? Ill be based in the holiday park which has the jetty so hopefully get some fishing done then

Plenty of whiting on surface in Currambene Creek and mountains of flathead as well.

What were you using as bait for the whiting?

If you’re based around Huskisson the rocks at the mouth of Moona Creek and Plantation Point are your best chances for squid. Murrays is good too, just a little further to drive plus you have to pay to gain entrance into the National Park. Berley up at any of the above mentioned spots and you’ll find a few yakkas, but don’t be surprised if they’re only there in the dark.

You’ll also get squid and yakkas off the wharf at Callala Bay boat ramp, though not as consistently as the other spots I mentioned. Also, although it looks close on the map, Callala is about 45 minutes drive from Huskisson as you have to go right back to the highway to get there.

I don’t know why you have difficulty filleting a flathead. I reckon they’re one of, if not the easiest fish to clean. Perhaps a YouTube video or two could help you out.

 

 

Ill give plantation point a go for squid. Im going to murray area for snorkeling so will try it then. 
Youd think Callala would be easy to get to but no… I guess thats a no go.

 

Flathead is just… slimey and looks freaky. Its super easy to fillet though, not wrong. Caught 2 so far, a 45 and 55cm back in Hawkesbury River.

 

but defo keen to get onto some squid at plantation

Yeah, so im going to be based around huskinson, though im planning to go Murrays as ive seen videos and reports of squid in that area. 
not really a fan of flatties, it was a headache to fillet and not a fan of it.

Currently only got small rods but ill try go for whitings at the beach when time comes. I should have some SP’s so ill play with that.

Im happy to drive out to callala as well, any yakkas there?

 

been searching through the forums looking for JB reports but havent found too many in terms of squid and yakkas

 

cheers

Hey lads,

going to Jervis bay soon for a few days, and looking to get some fishing done. Prefer to get some Aji(yellowtail scads) or some Squids. My rods are very light 2-4kg so will probs stay away from snappers etc. 
Still new to fishing and havent been to JB in a long time so hoping the community would be able to help me out?
Locations, gear, bait, lures etc.

Thanks everyone -
