Hi guys I'm heading to port Stephen on the 22nd and will be heading outside to try my luck for the first time on MArlin up there in my new boat.. I have one spot available for the first in ... will be launching from Soliders point and hope to be on the water between 5am and 6am...
My direct contact details are as follows....
yarraonesg@gmail.com
0413196591 CONTACT ASAP TO CONFIRM SPOT
I have all the gear we need .. Will be using lures only and trolling.. I am also tagging and release on marlin if possible..
PREFERABLY.. if you have some experience with LOWRANCE GPS and DEPTH sounders, or know the area would be an anvantage.. Just turn up after conformation and throw in to share feul exspence... If you would like to stay obernight . I also have a room booked with availble bed if you would like to shre exspence for the room as well....
first in to confirm gets the spot... to give you an idea of costs....Feul only..$100.00 feul and accomadation would be $185
-
higher rated feuls do break down quicker but Stable works a treat as well... for instance 99 or 100 octane willbreak down after 4 weeks without Stable
-
great stuff keep it coming but I will message you late next week for a update

if you go back to FIJI let me know Ill put you on the fish mate.Nice work. Years ago on a family holiday in Fiji we set out on a fishing trip and ended up with a big fat donut.
You've got some highly sought after fish there. Dolphins, YFT and the great marlin. Must have had a blast!
-
Awesome Sean! Did they charge you extra for the extended trip? Almost 3hrs on a rod and reel is not for the faint hearted or limped wristed for that matter. Top effort champ!
Cheers scratchie!!!
mate it was only extended by 1 hour so 5 hours total... I fished hard for the whole time.. itmust be me .. 4 other boats were out for a 6hour and 8 hour charters and they got nothing...
-
Thank GOD you got enough things BLUE in the Background for the COTM !! But where's the SMILE ???? I'd have a smile Bigger than LunaPark for a Month !!!! Mate you got my Vote ......
lol people always say I dont smile .. I think its because I just dont show my teeth.. but beleive me Im wrapped... So wrapped I got more ink to have as a momento......

Had a awesome day and a bit sore the next day... It was so sad that she died towards the end of the fight.. but if ithad of been a full day charter it may not have happened.. we worked the fad untill we headed for home and hooked up on the way back in only about 2 km from the headland
-
Vanuata Holiday and just had to get out there for a fish.. Stewie said ' Don't waste your time doing a 4 hour charter" but time is limited so here you go Stewie....
Great weather, great people and even the owner said .. the same thing... you cant catch a marlin in a 4 hour charter....?
Well, they didnt come fishing wit Ratu Sean before....
Worked the fad and landed 4 Mahi Mahi, 1 Waahoo and yellow fin .. then on the way back in trolled for Marlin.... then only a few km's from the headland off she went.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
After 2 3/4 hours later unfortunatly she died in the fight but I had a BLUE MARLIN
Caught: Vanuatu
37kg line
black skirt Lure
2 3/4 hours to land
BLUE MARLIN........Approx 180kg
-
This one came in at 120kg... checker plate floor made to order for a show bike... LED lights, jockey wheel, polished checker plate floor and guard.. VIN numbered and blueslipped......$1050
-
noise and heat after repleacemnt is a problem and one cause could be over adjustment... tighten the nut to firm with a twitch... then back it off till there is a free wheeling hub... if nothing rubbing and no wobble with wheel on should be ok
-
Stage 1 of refit.......lazy hubs tomorrow then wire it up with new lights
Now the lights are in as well as a reversing light.......

Thats easy, you just pay the bill when it turns up. No inspection required
Do you have a preferance for the 14inch? I have some 13 in with LT tyres on mine
regardless on wieght, all dual axle trailers must have inspection every year but most inspections dont check chassis and brakes
-
Hi yarraone, will be watching with interest as I have a trailer boat combination I feel has been missmatched. I could be wrong but I always have trouble driving the boat back onto the trailer, always wants to bugger off to the left about 1/3 the way on the trailer. You mention about the wheels being to small for the size of the boat. How would you know if the wheels or any other part of a trailers are correct for the size of the boat if you only have the basic knowledge of trailers.
Thanks Alan
Your boat always going to the left isnt always the trailers problem more than the alignment of the rollers and technique that you use.. i will post more progress photos this weekend and then next week with the finish

Depending on the size of your boat, 13" are fine with the LT tyres.. This boat in question is over 2 ton

Just because your trailer has wheels under your frame doesn't mean it is suited for the job...This is a work in progress of a refit and upgrade...
This trailer is a members first boat and shows one of the lesson's some people learn about our great past time...
This trailer has been put together from 2 differnt trailers not built to do the job but to cut corners and put the boat on the road..
These small boat wheels are not suited to this size boat.
The sub frame that holds the complete suspension is attached only by 4 u-bolts, and is stuffed..Brakes were not working and had towing issues.....
So to help a member out we are going to do a refitand rebuild of frame and chassis.
Strengthen overall frame.
supply and fit the complete suspension, disc brakes 14" light truck wheels. With 2 ton rated boggie axles and bearings
Should be finished this week... More photo's will follow with the progress
-
Mate i can build you wat you need butcheapest would be a conversion or adapt a box trailer....if you can email some measurments and a photo or 2 I can give you a rough quote... yarraonesg@gmail.com

hi Yarrone - what weight do the tray back conversions come in at ?
Depends on what spring rating and extras, but the one pictured came in at 240kg, with a heavy duty RHS chassis.. So this means it doesnt need brakes or pink slip each year.. and rego is only $65 per year and has 1 ton rated springs & axle... I will also be doing a ute tub conversion , but sometimes these come in a little heavier and will need brakes...
-
I use Shimano Tiagra 50wLRS
-
Here is a ute tray conversion, I am in the process of another one, which will be 8X 5 aluminimum tray just like this one on a single axle rated to 1 ton...
Will there be a Hairtail social 2016 ?
