  1. I read somewhere that a trout fisher was using the insects under rocks, crushing them in his fingers and rubbing the nymph fly with the juice and catching fish when others couldn't. So being a believer of aniseed essence on lures and in burley I thought another method may work on freshwater fish so I purchased a fly trap and caught heaps of flies. I kept them in the fish freezer until I had about half a bucketfull and crushed and screened them, I have not tried them yet as the weather has not been great the only downside is the smell when crushing and screening. The fly powder you put in the trap is bad enough but when you add dead flies, boy is she bad. I thought if it does not work I could always tip some in some arseholes car who takes up a disabled car space illegally.

  2. I had the option of putting a 30HP 4 stroke on my boat, but for similar weight I put a Tohatsu 50HP 2 stroke, best decision I made, there is no way I would put a 40HP 4 stroke on the back as a lot of outboards had the same frame in the 40 to 50 range.

    Hope this helps.

  3. Sorry, I should clarify that,get a battery load tester. It puts a load on the batteries and it will allow you to check the state of them, I check mine about twice a year, you should always have the batteries on a trickle charge.
