    Good effort!

    My in-laws live down that way & I've fished the lake fair few times from boat & land.... Haven't had great success, only few flatties & tailor on plastics...

    Being such a BIG lake with a decent entrance, i'm suprised it doesnt fish better.... (Edit: maybe it does fish well & i'm crap at fishing :insane: )

    Pittwater boat fishing ideas?

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Stick to the edges.... I find there's alot of baren areas down the middle of Pittwater, especially if there's alot of boating activity (there's usually heaps of sail boats/yachts out on weekends!)

    Drifting between the boats at Careel Bay usually produces a few good flatties....

    Some great advice here!

    My tip would be to target a particular species... Flatties are probably the easiest to start...

    Few of my tips;

    - Fish areas where they are likely to hide (i.e. sandy / weedy areas),

    - Fish the tides (runout is good start)

    - And use tried & tested SP's (i.e. 70-100mm Fish or Wrigglers generlly do well on flatties);

    - Cover the area well (if u dont get hits in say 15mins, start moving around the area until you do...);

    - And lastly, post up the report / pic of your fish on Fishraider!

    Good luck! :1fishing1:

    I've just picked up a T-Curve 3-5kg travel rod (3pc)& planning to mount my 2500 Stradic Ci4 on it...

    Heading up to Sunshine Coast this weekend so will hopefully get away for a flick and maybe even hit-up the barra farm :1fishing1::-)

    Did a Sat Arvo & Sunday Moring session on the weekend. We flicked SP's for hours and only boated a few average flatties & chopper tailor... :wacko:

    It was very windy on Saturday & stupid me left the foot control for electric at home! :ranting2::ranting2:

    Probably wound be heading back until the dredging is finished... (anyone know when this will be???);

    what motor 30 or 40?

    I've got a 40hp on my 4.2 Dory... bit rear heavy but goes great when the boat is loaded up!.... would love electric tilt/trim on it though.

    The previous owner purchased it new with a 30hp, then upgraded few months later to the 40hp....

    A 4.2m will be big enough for most harbour spots. However your current 25hp may bit bit undergunned on a 4.2m (esp. if you want 3+ people & gear);

    I reckon a 4.5m+ (and 40hp+) would be ideal...

    Jeep grand cherokee -

    I'm looking for a new car at the moment with a budget of around $50K... narrowed it down to either the new Jeep GC or Subaru Forester Turbo;

    Test drove the new Jeep Grand Cherokee 2weeks ago (albeit the V6 version)...I was very impressed with the car! For the money (~$50k)you get a lot of standard equipment, comfort, towing power & off-road capability... the only concern i have is the reliability, running costs (especially being 1st of new shape) & resale... I've heard alot of bad reports (granted mostly hear-say) and good ones too...The diesel version is supposedly selling well & i've heard theres a few month wait for the diesel & Overland models)...

    Plus, I read somewhere that it was awarded 4x4 of the year last year???

    (Here's comprehensive review of the JGC:- http://www.caradvice.com.au/131846/jeep-grand-cherokee-diesel-review/#review-review-tab)

    Last week I test drove the Forester (XT/S-Edition) and although it's not a great looking vehicle, i think it will be the safer bet (for my needs)...

    What other cars are on your list?

    Bearing Buddies

    Hi guys!

    I noticed the other day my bearing buddy fell off. Without too much thought I replaced it. Two days later it fell off. Tried one more time, didn't last a day.

    When I put them in, they are tightly fit. There is no movement yet when I drive they seem to fall off. I never placed the original ones. My friend seems to think the problem is with the hub. So before I go and replace both hubs and bearings, any ideas why this is happening?

    Thanks :)

    Hi Mate;

    After all the responses, did you find a solution that worked? (I've got the same problem atm, lost 2x in the last 2x outings..... :ranting2: )

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    sunnies

    Fishing sunnies are over rated I think... Just get any that are polarized.

    I agree, any polarised pair will work....

    Shop around to find a pair of sunnies that you like and ask if they come in a polarised version (will generally cost a little bit more than normal lenses)...

    Hi. No experience with the TDV8, but we've had 5x TDV6's at work (3x2006 & 2x2009 models)...they are very comfy and awesome looking cars, however VERY expensive to service & maintain... One of them went through 2x sets of discs & pads within 70,000kms :1yikes:

    The boss often uses his one to tow a 20ft glass boat to Lake Mac with no issues...
