Hey Andy, We've had some good runs of kingies out from the Lilli Pilli baths but not sure at the moment it might be a bit early for them to be up there in any real numbers. If you anchor up and fish really light pilchard chunks will produce some good bream in the same area too. Try outside around jibbon bombie or merries reef. The rat kings have entered sydney harbour so that is another option is your interested. Fresh squid is best. Musty

Mate, I might be able to help you out Bait or lures?? Musty

Did u have any anti-theft devices of any kind on it? Those types really are lower than a snakes belly, chances are they arnt even going to use it as a trailer, most likely at sims metal for thirty bucks! Musty

Hey thats our buddy Joe Dirt! Dont knock the mullet mate its a party at the back, business up the front- and a hard pulling estuary fish pound for pound! what more could u ask for? Musty

EVERYBODY KNOWS THE HARDEST PULLING FISH "POUND FOR POUND" IS BABY SNAPPER! how hard to those pinkies pull? u'd swear u had a keeper! bloody things! Musty

November the 5th they will start up. Get on the troll that weekend mate! Musty

HA HA HA REPORT OF THE MONTH FOR SURE! I once heard them reffered to as "suspicious looking old blokes walking around sulking" nice fish anyway mate well done Musty

Awesome report mate, all the facts straight to the point well done, much appreciated! Decent feed there afterall. Best of luck for your next session too Musty

Ive just about had a gutfull of these bloody greenie types! So trouts an introduced species, so is every other dog beside the dingo, so are cats, so are lama's, alpacas, horses, cows and chickens... Why dont we just have one massive cull and wipe them ALL out? Wait, the greenies dont like killing things my bad! Bloody hypocrits! Btw, I'd like to see this email you refer to. If its true then they REALLY have too much time on their hands. Musty

I regularly fish out of my mates 560c with a 140hp Suzuki four stroke and from 5am until 4pm, jigging for bait or trolling offshore all day we have never used more than 80 or so litres. For offshore work four strokes a no brainer IMO. Great boat Jizz, perfect for anchoring over the flats off Towra! Musty

Why will you need to change jig heads mate? Your poling them in with your own gear and knowledge so just just keep doing whatever your doing. Hopefully this rain didnt mess things up in that area which to my knowledge has been dirty all winter due to the never ending rains! Great fishing mate! Musty

Decisions decisions!!! Musty

Just go nuts on the baitboard or gunwhales- nevermind the mess. When your done dump a couple of buckets of water over it all and walla! Musty

ha ha u legend! Musty

If its four stroke your after both Yamaha and Honda are both great engines. But then again so are Suzi's and Mercs. Some people have a preference for certain brands just like holden and ford fans etc, thats not to say one is superior to the other in every aspect. Modern engines are all great when treated right although long term corrosion resistance can be a factor. Look for power to weight ratios, fuel consumption, warranty and service, and after all that you'll probably just end up going for the one that looks the best! Good luck with it whichever brand you choose to go, its always great having the peace of mind of a new motor. Musty

Thats all they want mate, stories! Like old ladies reading mills and boon novels ha ha ha! I love the "straight to the point" format mate well done on getting out there and poling in a few! Its what its all about Musty

Nice car mate That looks like Prince St ha ha ha Musty

Mate I wouldnt worry about it too much. Like you said better to be rescued floating than to not have a radio at all. Im yet to hear of someone copping a fine for using the radio for genuine reasons without the required lisence. Its basically so that people follow the correct procedure, understand the different working channels and what they are used for including various call signs etc. The whole reason there are restriction on it is the very fact they are working channels particularly VHF 16 and the harbour master on 13 for Sydney/Botany as an example. Its to stop clowns from playing silly buggers and clogging up the system. I'd highly reccomend doing the course at some stage but simply listening to it on scan function is very educational in itself. Musty

Bummer mate, but i wouldnt blame the guy though. You should always check these things before you drive off. For a small outboard such as that have it tilted up and sit the weight of the engine back down onto a broom stick or sumthing, the bracket to hold the outboard up isnt rated to take the weight of a motor bouncing up and sown while being towed so use the broom stick and also strap the leg of the motor back down to the trailer so it cant bounce! As for that fin, it will affect the way the the thing steers and the maouverability of the boat while under way. I have seen them break before and i have known of people getting them rewelded back on so it is possible. Not the end of the world but you wanna get that fixed. Cheers Musty

EP's and bass. Musty

I always love you offshore kayak reports! Definetly on my TO DO list starting this summer. I need to practice rolling the yak and getting back in before i start heading that far out. Great fish and pics once again Mako Musty

Beautiful lookin fish mate well done! They look evry much like a mangrove jack with different colours i think. Look tasty as well!!! Musty

Ahhh the joys of boat ownership! They say "a boat is a hole in the water you throw your money into" BOAT- aka "Bring On Another Thousand"!!!! But we wouldnt have it any other way right! Musty

Never too much Never too much... Musty

If its pumping water out (even a tiny bit) then its not the end of the world coz its still cooling. It wont come out as a steady stream if it is "water cooled with thermostat" which small modern mercury/mariner outboards are. It will keep the engine at optimum running temp via a thermostat which controls the water for cooling. I have a 25 merc and its sometimes only just bearable to hold my hand under the water stream, and the steam will be greater if the surrounded air temps are lower. Having said that if its barely spouting water or is thermostatically controlled and spouts water non stop all the time then get it checked out, could be the thermostat or impeller as you mentioned.
