  1. Take squishy with you she catches the fish
  2. I originally thought the fittings at the top were an inlet and outlet. I get it now they are both outlets with the inlet at the bottom. If your valve works that's great. Otherwise I'd move the inlet to the top and plumb it to the bottom internally.
  3. Well done Sasha. Perseverance paid off big time. Congrats.

  5. It's not clear in the pic but on the inlet does it extend down to the bottom of the tank. If it does it is probably self syphoning from the tank back down the inlet line. If that's the case you need a small hole in the inlet pipe at the top inside in the tank. Put it on the side a bit so the water doesn't spray up when it's running. The hole only has to be tiny the air in the line prevents syphoning.
  6. Mrs Swordy. Seriously how do you expect us members to survive the weekend without FR?
  7. I would be interested to take the kids 12 and 14

    Very,very sad day

    That sure is a tragic story Fab1 it would of been a very tough time for you and your respective families. I guess you can be thankful for the time you did share together. Life can be so fragile and at we often don't fully appreciate what we have until it's gone. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to share your experiences with us.
  9. I agree blackfish years ago I also did the St. John's 2 day course. Although mine ran 1 night per week so took longer. Recently I did the 1 day course for work and it wasn't a patch on the old one. I find that with education generally now. It's about ticking boxes and has little to do with knowledge.
  10. The small corolla or similar is the obvious choice. To go with an older car they really have to be into that in which case the question probably wouldn't of been asked. The other thing he could consider is a small 4wd that might get him onto the beaches and things like that. They would probably cost more to run though.
  11. If I was heading thee I'd probably time my trip to swim with the Whale Sharks in Exmouth. I think April - May is the time of year.
  12. Looking again it would be even better with if when you click on a location it gives all restrictions for this spot. For example collecting nipppers in Gunamatta bay is not allowed but doesn't show. Hopefully over time this all gets added in.
  13. Thanks Steve I just downloaded it looks good.

    Esky fish rack

    It will be fine. My old plastic moulded (the lid doesn't fit well) one does just fine keeping the water icy cold even on hot days and it sits in the front of a bowrider. Your evacool should do it easy.

    Esky fish rack

    What your doing is going to have your fish so much better than the average guy with a keeper bag hung over the side. I use two, two litre orange juice bottles filled with fresh water in my esky and a bucket of sea water. It's icy cold at the end of the day. Just about every fish is bled in the live bait tank and put in the esky a bit later on. Although I have a litttle more room and can keep my food and drink in a cooler bag in the shade seperatrly.
  16. My 14 yo daughters junior boat licence renewal was recently due. Previously we could only renew for one year. Now under the new rules she has a general licence ( with age restrictions) and could renew for 10 years. So some of the changes have definitely been put in place.

    That really does suck mate. We never met although we came pretty close one night on BB. Thanks for your contributions on here I enjoyed them. I really am lost for words.

    E10 Fuel

    I just use regular unleaded or sometimes 95. I read that the additives in high octane are not good in two strokes as they can make it difficult for the oil to blend in.
  19. Now that's a nice snapper right there! Well done. What area were you fishing in?
  20. Thanks for your entertaining report Sasha. I bet your uncle was stoked.
  21. Ouch, he isn't the first person to do that trick! No real advise though other than what is said above? Is your boat fiberglass or alloy?

    Bate Bay

    Another good feed Yowie. I think there might be a maximum storage amount each member can have on fishraider. Maybe check with Mrs Swordy?
  23. I read about this elsewhere. amazing what nature throws up a times. Good thing nobody was around at the time.
