are whiting a common catch on sx40's and if they are i might have to get some fisherboy

The Seal is the item that keeps out the Salt water and should not be overlooked. With the Bearings, if in doubt replace them. Timken are a great brand (Orange Blister Pack), they also market Boat Trailer seals as well as other companies. These seals have a Stainless steel insert that you knock into the hub after you install the bearing for the seal to run against. Dont wast your time with the one piece seal that run against the rusty axle as they dont keep the water out. A good rule is to check them by pulling them apart as its easier than on the side of a Highway.

thanks pete for the info i got a prawn net and a landing net like the environet thanks fisherboy

is a landing net a standard prawn net or is it a fish landing net and what is a crab traps (witches hats) you were talking about fisherboy

with all the talk about prawns does anyone know if you can get prawns in port hacking fisherboy

ive always seen these in the shops but i thought they were teasers for marlin as they had no hooks can some one clarify what fish will take the lure is it a surface lure or an under water lure last thing why does the hook have to be outside the skit because i thought it would have to be inside the skirt as the fish would strike the stirt not behind it fisherboy

hey reef rebel in the hacking you can see the whiting on the sand flat at high tide and pretty much any were you can catch baby snapper about 5-10 cm but they beat getting no fish at all fisherboy

same as my dad boats it has a short one about 50cm and a long one i think it is 2.1m and all we have to do to change it take the short one out and put the long one in hopes this helps fisherboy

ive done that many time but not normaly with soft plactics like last time me and my dad went to get a a inflatible life jacket and i walked out with a rod and reel and i just happend to by some plastics and jig head just to make shure the combo works fisherboy

my hand is up i have tried soft plactics a couple of times with no luck so i will listen to all info you give us raiders fisherboy

27.9.08 Yesterday we put the boat in at the Hole in the Wall ramp about 2:30. Our first stop was at the container wall. There was more than 15 boats there so we thought that there has to be fish there. We were wrong, not one bit for about half an hour. We ventured to La Parouse to try and pick up some flatties still nothing. At about 6:00pm we decided to go get dinner so we trolled some lures around Bare Island and past the Container Wall. still nothing. Arter dinner we driffted between capitan cooks brige and theTom Uglys Brige for nothing. We saw some people anconderd under the Tom Uglys bridge so we thought we might try it as we had caught nothing all day. Afterr about 5 min we start to see talior jumping everywhere so i start to cast soft plastics at them for about 10mins. With no hits i try out a hard body and after about 3 casts i was fianlly on. first fish of the day. It was nothing big only about 15cm but at least it was a fish. For the next 10 mins i caught about 6 baby tailor. Just as i was casting a lure , Dad was in the cabin looking for another lure when my Mum saw Dad's rod jump and caught it just before it went over the side and statrted to reel it in. About 5mins later this jew reaches the surface. the jew fish went 52cm and 1.6 kg We caught another 5 talior then went to find a place nice and quite place to anchor for the night out of the wind. 28.9.08 The Day of the Social We headed to registration about 6ishand we sign in and grab a snag on a roll and a coffee. We drifted a couple of times around Dolls Point for nothing. We decide to go see if there are any fish at watts reef only to lose a jig head on a snag. Other than that no fish. we go back to the Container Wall despites the lack of fish there the day before. After about 30mins we see someone pulling up somthing with a bit of fight so we watch and see. when they fianlly get it to the surface we see that it was only a shovel nose shark. We keep fishing for about 1 hour and my mum get's a Port Jackson shark (no pic it bit through the line) It was about 12:00pm and the bay was very choppy so we decided to call it a day and we went back to the Fishraider tent and said hi to everyone and then put the boat on the trailer cheers fisherboy

im happy with my result sorry for the bad pic only had my phone i might have to play this game for the next couple of days until someone puts another addictive game up

Just pull a sicky happy birthday slinky hope u have a good one fisherboy
