herdsman

Hello fellow raiders, can anyone tell me if the mutton birds are still outside causing problems, and are the LJ's still around.

Hello mate,this happened to me before, what you need to do is remove cable completely from steering wheel all the way to engine, then take it to whitworths and they will give you one the same size, but make sure its not shorter, you will need a mate to help you install it though.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, ended up getting the icom handheld, which is on special at whitworths, by all accounts a top brand.

Hi Brett, the reason being i only have 1 hole cut out in the console,and did,nt really want to cut out another one, and i know you can fix them on top of the console, thats why i asked the question about handheld VHF's.

Hi fella,s and ladies, i,m having a bit of a dilemma, my 27 mhz radio is rooted, so i,m contemplating putting in a VHF radio, or putting in a AM/FM radio, and getting a handheld VHF, does any one have a handheld VHF,and what are there ranges? any help would be gratful.

Thats all we used in our dive club in england,we had 2 zodiacs about 4mtrs in length and we went offshore about 15-20 miles, no problems.

Hey butch guess you was off long reef,what sort of depth were you fishing and was you catching em on bait or plastics

Congratulations mate,seen plenty caught myself, but i always missed out, they have amazing colours don,t they, how far offshore were you?

yeah caught me by surprise i can tell you,,swore it was a big red all the way up,then when it hit the surface it was what the F**k is this, i was reading on the DPI website that there normally in water from 110mtrs-380mtrs so this one must have been hungry i guess

thanks ,get told i'm a dead ringer for ray winstone, pommie actor,yeah you need friends out on the water,that said i would do the same for anyone.

Hi fellow raiders, went out for a fish sat to my usual spot of late and started getting into the flathead all good sizes over 45cm, then i tried these rigs i brought of ebay, guaranteed, flathead rigs,seen it down on my abu soron outfit on a ugly stik 201b braid, and i catch this little beauty[ I then decided to go back to the start of my drift, and go to turn the engine over and nothing,not a thing, completely dead, plenty of power in the battery, just nothing from the key to the engine, lucky for me a mates fishing not to far away and i call him over,and we change batteries,to see if thats the problem,but still no joy, so he tows me in from 7ks out from north head all the way back to roseville boat ramp,what a legend he is thanks Jose. Roll on sat night, a mate phones me up,to see what i caught and i tell its really firing outside at the moment,and he say's lets go sunday,so never one to miss an opportunity to get on the water,out we go to the same terroritory more or less,and after a couple of hrs hitting the flathead and bonito, i drop down for 1 more time with a piece of an old octopus tentacle hopping for a snapper,after hitting the bottom for a second back the rod loads up and bends over double, i,m think big red as, it's banging all the way up, and winding up from 260ft its a long way let me tell you. My arms are aching like hell, then this bad boy shows up what a surprise, this fish went 72cm and close to 7.5kg top day.

Congratulations on a great catch, and doing it with the family makes it even better,well done

Not that many,we only kept fish over 37,but most times they were over that

Went out for a fish fri morning with a good mate of mine,we headed offshore about 5 miles and started a drift,the sea temp was 23degrees, we ended up with a good catch of flathead and some big nannigai,we packed up about 11.30 am as the seas picked up. [attachment=75274:

Hello mate, i was expecting to see the bed and bimini? what happened!

hello mate its herdsman here, i was next to you,congrats on your jewie, might want to get a net for the next one,the way your going it will be over the mtr mark,hope to see you out there soon.

petrol, no this is a new setup,was advised by a mate to fit it as i had a new aluminum tank built,and a build up of water can happen, also am i right in thinking that when you connect fuel lines that they run diagonal as per the arrows inlet outlet?

Hi all just purchased an eastern fuel and water filter,the ones with the glass bowl at the bottom,and i,m havin trouble gettin the fuel through it,has anyone got one of these setups that might have an idea whats wrong, cheers

bloke was killed fishing bluefish last week

Hi lads, does anyone know where i can get a fuel tank made aluminum or plastic, cheers

cheers gazza but i think i may have to get a new one

thanks lads for all the replys,had a go at cleaning it out myself,putting in petrol swirling it around and emptying it out,done this for about an hour or so,but keep getting little particles coming out,looks like rust,but aliminium should,nt rust,then a mate came round and was having a look and we found a big area thats pitted quite badly,so it looks like a new tank,thats all i need,after just spending $1100 bucks on the engine. does anybody know where i can get a tank made? aliminium or plastic,they have to be custom made to fit under the floor. Cheers lads any help gratfully appreciated.

superb catch mate, you,ve set the benchmark for other mere motals to follow, where they of sydney?

Hi first of all happy new year to everyone,secondly i need to have my fuel tank cleaned and flushed out,can anyone give any tips on doing it myself or is there somewhere that does kind of thing, i can remove the tank from the boat, just need help with the cleaning thing.

you still in oz
