mr magoo

mate it comes down to budget,look at the biggest/best you can afford and tow,water line length counts,hydrofields ,and cats,genrally will travel much faster,well i wouldnt mind a dollar for every one thats over taken me on the way to the grounds ,lol if your into sharkin ,tin boats stand up to it better for sure everyboat is a comprimise of some sort,comes down to what suits you better,try and get a ride in a few of your options and definetly buy new tech motor/s,,di injected or 4 bangers otherwise it costs too much

ive got a set of garry,s poles they are fantastic quality ,and in regards to the shotgun setup ,get a shotgun pole of gary too( 3 metre),and you wont look back as in no tangles easy way too troll,and you get better action from your lures,only drama is more rootin round at the ramp as you have to remove 3 poles instead of two for trailering ,but its worth it

well done buddy ,your on fire ,thats the way to start a season first off many i hope cheers arman

thanks bud

Si let us know if its anything like the cold smoked kingy,, cheers

every other tiagras is in perfect condition,its only the one spooled with braid that i have an issue with ,do you run mono or braid on your 50w,s

the one negative is ive have now got a little corrosion where the braid sits on the spool under a 200mtre top shot,,stays wet or something ,its exactly the level of the braid on the spool its a tiagra by the way that and you get nervous as the join goes into the drink on a fish

mate its a good thing ,soon after i hooked a fish in the rocket launcher i got a shotgun pole,much cheaper then dropping a tiagra in the drink ,lol,the stiffer the pole the better,so surf rods aren't real good,all you need is two eye bolts/a tag line return and 2 cork balls or foam floats and your away ive got a used spare pole here so if you get stuck chasing one up let me know ,im thinking $100,i was keeping it just incase i broke a pole if you need a hand to set it up just ask and il draw it up for you if needed cheers

i have a tig12 but dont have braid on it ,but i do have a 20 with braid and a top shot of mono,ive found there is a spot of corosion at the outer level of the braid on the spool,it seems as the braid stays wet,ive never had a corosion issue with any other just the one with braid on it,so that would be something to keep an eye on

theres two types of fins braid one is igfa rated and the other isnt

reckon this fella may have the credentials,lol

book me and jose in mako madness part 2 comin up

onya boys,nice fish there and andrew i noticed a beer in the drink,appeared to still have beer in it are you OK AND hey did you know that,, A ,, is crooked ,lol,haha and kenny rumor has it that your cardboard cutout has been seriously devalued by the new and improved (young lass ) version haha Sorry lads see what happens when i cant catch a yft

happy birhday frank

what do you mean we and i was going to talk to you regarding the nice issue ,lol

speakin of which ,i need more,you delivering or do i have to pick up

id give one of the last remaining hairs on my head to tangle withn one of those silvo,actually id give them both too well done mate ,congrats to the the tenoa team

in regards to the outlet it needs to be at least twice the diameter of the inlet the bigger the better,and if there is a long run in the plumbing hose for the out let it needs to be even bigger my out let is 45mm hole,that copes with a 800 gallon pump but not an 1100gallon pump for the bait you want to use the smaller tank would be good,you would need to look at something to cover the outlet so your baits dont get prematurely released via the outlet,i use a dome shaped plastic plug with a grille on it that fits in the outlet,which allows water to flow through but not the baits but in saying all that poodies are pretty hardy and live for a while with a bucket an aerator

i cant bear to watch it live ,i record it and watch it fast forward that way i dont have to listen to all his crap actually i watch almost all shows like that

silvo il have my garies bagged in packs of four thanks mate cheers

silvo you talk of seeing little boats wide offshore ,i was down jb and there was a little tiller steered tinnie with outriggers on the canyon,4.5 metres would of pulled it up for sure probably closer to 4,2 i thought gee small boat especially with a tiller steer an hour later troll past and there swiming a nice black good acheivement,i thought go the lads as for the topic of this post it comes down to gaining experiance bit by bit and then pushing your boundries todays boats and motors are very good generally better then there skippers,by that i mean its the human that causing things to go wrong generally,to fast,badly weighted,no fuel, poor maintainence,,and mainly lack of comensense,or at times bad judgment and sometimes bad luck i too fish very wide in a small boat 5.8 most people i know have at one time or another come home in treacherous seas with howling winds,its part of what i love to do,just take it one wave at a time as for what is good for you in your 5.2 only you can make that call,what your comfortable with till you gain experiance in your boat so you know how it reacts etc etc under 10 knots is a good start,swell size aint that important unless its blowing,the sea size is the one that makes you uncomfortable,under 1mt and im cheering cheers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE im shouting so you hear what im saying and writing it in large letters so you can read it,because as you know when you gett old its harder to read and hear,have a great day mate cheers

i should point out that i only put one loop of the 32,s into my tagline,ive never put both on the 32,s so i cant coment on that but as silvo mention the 16,s doubled are good cheers

i use 32 ,s , can use 16,s but they break every couple of hours on the lures i use,just make sure they dont slip cheers

thanks lads and thanks pure fishing
