The Iceman

Yeah I could be looking for a fishing partner after the school holidays

Spent a few hours on Botany Bay today with the two daughters mainly to get more hours up on the new boat Trolled a couple of spots for some tailor and then went over to Towra flats for a spin wasn't expecting much there until I spotted some trevally on the edges of sand patches out came the 3lb flouro outfit rigged with a bondi brown shinku(small sinking stick minnow)and I started casting in front of where the trevs were moving Sure enough they moved to the lure and picked it up off the bottom Caught a couple using this method and then they went off the bite and I couldn't find anymore 12 year olds first attempt at netting a fish

Thanks Dave I just spent 25 years working for Boeing I think Virgin outsource their composite repairs to Boeing Aircraft Component Repairs which is based at Tullamarine in Melbourne Ive actually been there and know some of the guys and even asked the manager if he wanted to start a facility here in Sydney I do have job alerts set up for both Boeing and Virgin

Not much going on at either

Yep Ive done that as well Ive also door knocked local companys and have connected with a few people on Linkedin

Yeah Im signed up with a few but nothing has come through yet Also check seek and my career daily I have applied for several jobs but haven't had any success so far

Unfortunately with my girls in highschool Im not prepared to move them and yeah I know about Williamstown and theres similar work in Brisbane as well

Since I have been made redundant due to closedown Im now looking for a job We were fortunate to have a company come in and help us with resumes and such and one thing they told us was most jobs are found by networking Couldn't think of a better place than here for that Im a fitter and turner by trade but have been working on aircraft component manufacture out of carbon fiber for the last 25 years which is basically non existent in Sydney now Im trained in lean manufacturing OHS and quality have cert 3 in competitive manufacturing and cert 3 in engineering-production systems Im pretty much willing to try anything so if you know anyone who needs an employee send me a pm Thanks Andrew

Deep micro jigging requires the correct rod for it It was explained to me that the action of the rod working the jigs is extremely important to the jigs working something to do with tip recovery getting the action out of the jig

Try a google search on microjigs There are different brands available here

Yes and yes also work slow rolling

A new method of jigging is now coming to OZ called micro jigging Looks like that's what you are doing piratin

My new boat Quintrex renegade 420 SC 50hp 4st yammie Minn kota ipilot Lowrance elite 7 sounder

Its a tough decision and I agree with Stewy to a point but it really depends on what your line of work is and what is available in your line of work out there you may be better off taking the transfer so you have a wage coming in You have to do your research Like Stewy I will be out of a job at the end of the month as all our work has been transferred to Melbourne and I took the redundancy option over the transfer as it was better for me after 25yrs with the one company

Should also look at the new berkely UV blades when they come out

Blades and vibes are not the same Blades are usually metal and sometimes polycarbonate with a slim profile and vibes are plastic like a HB with internal rattles such as cranka vibes or bassday kangoku vibes The TT switchblade in golden boy is also an outstanding lure and you can add luderick to the list as well Ive caught a few on the vx35 in colour 445 Too many to be an incidental catch Another is the ecogear zx blades they work extremely well on shallower flats

Yes they are worth it My favorites are ecogear vx 40 in colours 439 and 445 and the strikepro cyber vibe 35 in 1460B and A18 Other options are sinking stickbaits like berkelys subdogs

Bet there were some bream boats on there today prefishing for a tournie tomorrow

I only just watched the video and Nick is a good mate of mine We have fished together a few times No idea where it is though but it will be south somewhere

Damn I forgot about that Werent you supposed to ring me

If you are casting and winding it back in like spinning with a lure head first but if drifting it down a burley trail then the tail should be facing up the line

Sps preferably but downsize them and work them slow 2in crabbies 65 and 80mm wrigglers basicly SPs that will work at a slow jig Blades as well but also work them slowly and also sinking stick minnows instead of blades like the berkely subdog in baitfish colours

Im too good looking to need bling Donna

With the ci4 1000 I would get a raider lure project minnow Its a bit lighter same length as the soft plastic raider and balances better with the 1000 I have this outfit and use it for SPs and HBs

I would go the raider but up the ci4 to a 2500
