Another thought is the live bait tank overfilling maybe whilst your underway and overflowing so that you don't notice it?

Is the bung plug sealing correctly? When it's stored is it tilted up to drain with the bung plugs out? Do you tow it to the ramp with the bung plug out? Is the LBT a through hull fitting? I would be tempted to put the bung plug in add some water when the boat is on an incline and see if any comes out toward the bungs, or around the live bait fitting itself. If it is happening on the water then it would be strange you haven't noticed the bilge cut in or taking on the water before. If it's a one off I'd fix the bilge pump make sure the bung is tight and go fishing, for testing purposes of course! Sorry I just reread and noticed it had pumped water out in the past.

Well there is always some kink in the system that stops a plan working, you recovered well with some good gosh by the sounds of it. In regards to your leak I had a brand new Johnson bait pump that was spraying water out of its housing under the floor. My bildge pump was intermittently cutting in ( every few minutes) that alerted me to the problem.

That's a cracking King well done.

I can see them Steve. On iPhone google chrome.

That's what I remember from my last trip inslthoughits boats I was looking at. I was dissapointed with the variety of music raider boats there .

Good advice Recurve. Surtees definitely worthy of a look.

You will be able to host a 3 day party at the next social with an extra 1.5 m

He is huge. Good one

That's a good feed you got there Sasha. 64cm is a great fish I'd be happy very pleased with that. How did you find the ramp with the surge?

Funny typo right there! Or is it a pun?

Seems like a clever solution to me.

The first thing I thought too.

Great report and write up Harold. It seems they are about in numbers that's for sure. After the prior weekend the silence must of been deafening.

I sent PM. It may help?

Do you think it would push through easy?

Sometimes it comes off in the bay. This was in June a few years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Busted or bitten off? Maybe tailor if bitten off or Salmon would bust you off on light gear. Still the odd King about too.

There is generally some waves just near the point. The bommie is just around the corner and usually breaks. It's worthwhile getting Navionics on your phone or sounder too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What sort of boat did you get? If your looking at sticking your nose out on a nice day I'd be trying the Hacking. The heads isn't do defined and from Jibbon it's just around corner. Be mindful of Jibbon BOMMIE. Other than the bommie there isn't much reef it's pretty much all sand (flathead) from wide of Coogee north to the Humps around 20k south of Jibbon. So I think you would do better for snapper close in.

I can't say I have seen or heard of to many people have consistent success inside catching snapper. If they are they probably aren't sharing it. I'd say anchor up near reefy territory pretty close to the heads, berley with pillie cubes. I have caught the odd one near the oil wharf this time of year on the run out tide. I'd guess Watts reef, mol point, Bare island are worth a shot. Why your waiting your likely to get some Trevor's show up. An underrated table fish IMHO.

Do you mean the wire is through the pillie something like a squid spike?

Didn't work out so well for ya did it! But Mel she can catch them in her sleep.

I think it's a pretty common problem around here!

Pretty hard to top a feed like that. Great fishing Basil.
