Hi Nickf,
Iam not fishing at moment as wife is ill.
But if I can help you with any questions don;t hesitate to ask,
I know all the spots if your fishing outside,if your fishing inside
I can give you other raiders who know.
Cheers Rick.

Thanks Fella's.
Regards Rick.

May as well pick your nose.
The hardest race in the world to pick a winner.
I hope Bart gets number 13.
It will probably be his last.

I would recommend the sunbeam too. Just make sure the extra bags you buy afterwards are compatible with the machine. It should say on the packet. I bought some cheapies on the net but they didn't seal.
Damn cunning idea rick!
Cheers
G/day Humesy

bag and pop in cool place,baits good all day.

Mate i went through the same ordeal,and yep the battery strength plays a big part for start up on the older motors,i had tryed to start on rather flat battery would turn fly wheel but would not fire,then recharged battery and boom,away she went,i was evn advised dont know how true it is but the volt difference you put out with a semi flat battery can also damage your stator+coils or power pack dont know how true but better safe then sorry,good luck buddy,
Hey Coasty you just reminded me back in 80's we use to do power pack all the time,was pretty dear,until we got a queensland bloke that could repair and re seal them.
Regards Rick.

Hi Morgs,
Mate the best sealer you can get,is the
one you make yourself.I have been using this method for
years. Get a plastic drinks bottle, cut about three inches
off the top,take cap off,get your bag of bait or whatever,
push up through neck of bottle, turn over the edge of bag
and screw on top.Lasts for yonks.
Cheers Rick.

If your got the motor turning over,it sure ain't the battery.

They probably run into some fisho's Oar.
-
Well done Rex,I know how you feel same
thing happened to my young bloke with his arm.
But like you he won't give up and says Dad
I have the bloody wood on them,when they ask
how big was the fish.
Cheers Mate and enjoy .
Regards Rick.

Hi Rick, your left out the "OLD" part.
Regards Jeff
Hi Jeff, I left that part out because that's what they call me.
Regards Rick.

There is no way you can stop them,even putting a sinker on
won't stop them getting the bait.
when we where fishing for a living,they were in plague proportions.Mongrels come all the way from siberia
"mutton birds".they will dive down out of sight to get bait,the only way we could stop them
was with a oar.
hook one of the things and they cried like a baby.
-
We use to call them BOOTS.
Thats what they taste like cooked up.

Hi Maiders,
when you get plate, go to repco and get a pack of one way screws.
Because now the ar/holes are targeting number plates.
cheers Rick.

It's about bloody time they raised the limit.
Iuse to make blokes throw back anything under 60,
poor bloody soapies got a flogging.
Iam all for it.
-
Just like a car anybody who drinks and drives,
deservers everything they throw at him.
and I love my grog.
but nothing comes onboard.

Hi Groper,
You did the right thing mate,that is a lurk they have used for years
down there ,having their trailer around on the next ramp,believe it or not
a hell of a lot lost their trailers with that method.
Times you have to be hard, as Jeff said that area they would have to unload onto
tyres in the street ,not likely.
Cheers Rick.

The generation today have certainly mellowed.
Anybody cast our gear aside,we would have put it right
straight away.
when we walked away the idiot would have had his top
teeth sticking out through his lips.
Touching or removing another blokes gear is taboo.

Hi folks,
Got up at 3am this morning and went to my favourite fishing spot in south Sydney.
Was just before 4am, and another 5 minutes later another couple arrived. I was surprised how keen anglers are these days
OK, geared up the 12 footer with pilly and float, and off they went to the water.
At the same time I was casting
.Another half an hour later another guy arrived, then started casting with a chromie.
On second cast he hooked a kingfish, he was swearing and cursing at other aglers and their rods while fighting his fish
.OK, fair enough... a dude was casting while he was fighting his fish. But, was it necessary to curse and swear??
Took him a few minutes to land his kingfish and everyone congratulated him.. the person he swore at didn't have hard feeling.... Good!
Another couple turned up at the spot soon. One of them walked to the rock edge and yelled "whose rod is this?", I said it was mine.
He then replied "no fix rod here!!", I told him that I would remove it to make some room for him after retrieving my
last cast. Without asking for permission, he then removed my rod from the rock hole and chucked it on the ground. I hope he didn't scratch my new Shimano baitrunner.
I was so pissed, but I wasn't getting aggresive. I then asked him when did the rule of having no fixed rod start? He didn't answer.
I would not mind removing my 12 footer to make room. At the end of the day, I knew what it feels like getting up early and
sneaking out to have some fun with fishing, but having no room to fish at the spot.
I have been fishing at the same spot for almost 10 years, and so far so happy. I met other anglers who became good
mates and we fish together, share tips and have drinks in the pub after fishing. I hope this rude person did not have any discriminative motive
over his ack. I have never met this couple at the spot before. I was thinking to myself at that time, was it worth an argument or even a fight? I then threw a few more casts, but I couldn't enjoy my fishing further after the incident. I packed up and went home.
I feel sorry for people who have been or would be this guy's abuse victims.
I hope through this, we can learn how to share the fun of fishing. Even on a tight spot (good spot is never big enough).
Sorry guys, I had to vent my spleen here..
Keep the lines tight fellas!
Well all I can say is your more forgiving than I would have been.

Without knowing what sort of steering system you have
makes it a bit difficult.
If you have hydralic,all you have to do is lift plug off at
back of steering wheel and top up well.then she will be fine.

Gents,
I have a 90 mercury saltwater series 2stroke 2003
After been busy for 3 weeks, i finally decided to give my boat a start up and let it run for a good 15mins to clear out any cob webs ready for summer.
Starting the engine was easy, and it rumbled as it always does. I let it idle for a good 10 minutes to let it warm up.
Then i decided to lift the lever to give it more throttle for zip and the max i got to was 1500rpm.
Then i gove it some forward motion, prop began to spin, but again no more than 1500rpm.
Now i am hoping it is some from the forwad control box.
Any one had this issue, and is sit an easy fix?
Or am i looking at a new forward control box??
Your help would be great. Any theings i can try to see if i can get it going again?
Hi Stacer560, I have the 2003 90 merc.
after you check all connections and linkages,if it still does not rev out
give huey a ring.when you lift throttle lever you should red line it.
Cheers Rick.

Hi does anybody take a 4mtr boat outside fishing in good conditions and how far out do you venture . I have a 3.95m allycraft vision. What do you think of taking it out in 1mtr swell. tightlines Stephen
Hi Rexy,
What wannabe just told you is spot on.
Take notice of that and you won't get into trouble.
I know you have a boat and itching to get out.
But antyhing under 5mtr and you only asking for trouble
it's just not worth it..

Hi Spanker,
There are lots of bigger fish caught,mostly us older blokes,
we are only fishing because we love the sport and a good feed,records don't worry us
we have got nothing to prove,we have caught fish the size you will
never see again.
Enjoy the sight and your fishing .
regards Rick.

on members on this site and type in bloopin,or poddy trapper,they fish inside
all the time. anytime you need to ask just PM me.
cheers Rick.
