No its not a broncos hat . Im a Warriors supporter... John....

Good to see you out fishing Jewgaffer..... Will catch up for a fish soon John

Fished good old Botany Bay today in search of a few kingfish , with all the reports it was decided a friday fish was on the cards .... Picked up some livies and had a look at all the general kingfish haunts , Towed livies around for what felt like hours when the Rod buckled and the reel started screaming . Now i was glad i choose the saragoosa reel and bluerose rod combo with 80lb line this morning as im sure this fish would have busted me off . Well luck was on my side and a 10 kg king was in the boat . Sadly it was the only fish for the day..... Cheers Dogtooth .... John...

Top Report there, The lures you were using were the old malcom florence lures . Pity the spanish macs wern't keen to jump on you hooks .. Cheers Dogtooth John...

Top Jewie ... Would have been high fives all round ... Cheers John

Top report guys , Nice photos to . Cheers John

Thanks Guys will pick up the luvias 2500 combo with 2kg to 4kg rod next week . Just starting to play around with bream lures and stuff . The guy at the tackle shop recomended 2500 for longer casts... weight is not an issue as im used to playing round fighting fish on 80w s . Thanks for the offer Nick , will just buy it looks to good to leave in the tackle shop.. Cheers for all the opinions and help ... Dogtooth.... .... John

Top snapper and top report its been 11 months since i have been up there and my boat is itching to fish those fish filled waters..... Cheers Dogtooth ... John

Yeah mate the bait was the way to go. My other mate bagged 7 fish between 3 people , all around the same size and never fished there before... Then again i put him in the right places... Cheers Dogtooth .... John

Hi everyone , Just looked at the Daiwa Luvias 2500 and rod combo 4lb to 8lb . I plan to use use this setup for bream and bass lures . Whats your opinions on this setup ??? Buying the combo i get to save some dollars . Cheers Dogtooth ... John

Top report there smitty , Well done Never caught a bass so will have to give it a go.... Jewgaffer im keen to fish with yourself and esky6 so give us a call when your keen to go . Also i have a 4wd and a boat to fish in your other mentioned spot ... Cheers Dogtooth John...

The lure was a Squidgy wriggler in 140 mm size silver and black , 3/8 jig head looks a lot like a mullet . The Motor is almost run in and i dont think its the motor thats the good omen , its the boat that attracts the fish .... Cheers Dogtooth.... John

Hi Raiders , Went bottom bashing on windy sunday at Sydney Harbour Heads . Conditions made it hard but we ended up with a top feed of flathead , but the bonus was casting lures for salmon and were there some fish . Now it can be a bit wild with huge salmon boils around a charter boat and 10 anglers casting lures trying to give each other earings . But no injuries occured and some top salmon landed all on 4 inch metals . Later when we gutted some of the salmon whole 5 inch yellowtail and small pilchards were in there stomachs . So large lures were the go. Most unusal catch was a 2.5kg Leatherjacket went 62cm . . Good to see only 3 leatherjackets Caught. Cheers Dogtooth .....John 2.5 kg leatherjacket by J J

Hi Raiders, Sorry for the late report but it looks as thou the jewfish season may fire up in the Georges river this year. Well i decided to take my boat for a run out of flower power ramp millpera , the plan was to run in my new 50 hp motor purchased at the boat show so finished work at 2pm sun was shineing but the wind was howling . Chucked two rods in the boat and picked up a mate , motored up the river towards como bridge at various speeds and said to my mate lets have a fish here . He then grabs one of the rods and asks what bait were using i said lures ( soft plastics ) . So i tied one on for him and myself and we begun casting . He then began to ask if you catch fish on these i said sometimes . Well low and behold 2nd cast and im on a few screaming runs and im calling it a big flathead , a few minutes pass and my 10lb leader is back on the spool and up comes a little jew . A quick photo then slip him in the esky . My mate is now hooked on soft plastics after seeing me catch a jew . Well im glad i now have my first jew on soft plastics .. Cheers Dogtooth John.....

Thanks heaps guys. Crayhaven has closed down as thats where i used to get them . Fish market ones are a little large for Yellowbelly .. will try the other contacts cheers.... Dogtooth . John

Hi Fellow raiders , I am trying to track down 200 small size yabbies for freshwater fishing . I dont mind travelling 2 hours out of sydney . Any suggestions as it looks like i might get let down by a tackle shop that had my order about a month ago ..... Needed for october long weekend. Cheers Dogtooth ... John...

I Think it was caught on squid....

That looks like it ... Swordfisherman Cheers dogtooth ... John.

This fish was caught in 70 metres of water , last month off Kiama . Looked like a john dory but pink . My mate said it tasted nice Any suggestions ...... Thanks John ... Dogtooth

Hi Caine. It is a TEN 10 pin plug ... Read my earlier post the transducer is made by Airmar . It has all the specs and order codes . . The 525ST-PWD calls it a Triducer temp , sonar , The S stands for speed while the 525T-PWD is called a transducer Just temp and Sonar as mentioned below you can buy just the temp and sonar one and add the speed kit , paddle wheel later , the kit numbers are metioned below . Hope this helps...1fishing1: My install almost finished pics soon..... Cheers John.. Hi There caine, I just purchased the 620 furuno myself and ended up with an airmar transducer 50 / 200khz with depth and temp . The part number is 31-470-4-03 and is a p66 housing . Now the speed sensor kit that bolts to this housing is 33-346-03 but i figured they are never accurate and my GPS does a better job . Hope this helps i am halfway through my install and cant wait to test her out. Will post a few pics when finished as i am installing it on a drop down transom bracket. Cheers Dogtooth John.

Hi wigg, I have one of these units that i bought in oz , but to get the full potential of this unit you need to buy the bluewater cd , price around $ 250 dollars . i would give garmin a ring because for this cd to work you have to register your gps unit and download info onto a memory card . Make sure you have a day spare because you will need the garmin phone support while you do this as it is a bit complicated. But as far as chartplotter goes it is a top unit and you can use it from boat to boat.. Hope this helps Dogtooth John.

No worries , monday is good by me . Im fishing Sunday south coast so monday will be good. Will give you a call tommorow night . We will fish just three up so you can pick the other crew member.. Cheers John...
