ORES

What a fantastic day for a early morning Has any one gone out this morning and how was it? Or are you like me and have family comitments that always interfear with fishing comitments. Good luck to any one that is out there and are planing on going out catch a big one I think Ill wet the hull tomorrow. and hope the weather doesnt spil it for me . The calm before the storm . Mean while Ill have a or 50 to compensate. Happy fishing Cheers

That stupid woman on the AMMI add... ohhhh, if I could only wrap my hands around her throat.

Hope you are going to have your GPS hooked up Ill be following closely in a decked out shopping trolly.......no.....hang on........ thats got holes

The electrified boat is pretty funny though, but I can just see the missuses look on her face when she finds me unconscious on the driveway one morning because ive forgotten about the boat being wired up to shock. Ye that sounds good for me too but knowing my head some mornings after a few the night before, Ill cop it as well Good to hear that they didnt stuff your cover mate and yes, we hope they fell out and left some scalp on the concrete when they did the dogs.

Gday Allan, These ass holes should be shot. Did you have a cover on the boat? If so did they cut it to get in or lifted it? I ask because I just got a custom cover for mine (big $) and if they are that desprate that they have to do something like that I hope the just unzip it and cut it to shreds as I would be very pissed of if the do. And also to the other guys that responded, A bike allarm sounds good, do these allarms consume alot of power? Dont want a flat battery when I go to use the bloody thing. Cheers

I wish......... Boat under rewireing construction and made plans for us with the motherinlaw looks like top few days though for a and a tan Go getem boys.........

Gday Brickman, I was wondering if it would be ok for you to pm me the co-ordinents of the wall as I too would like to visit long reef and as I havnt got a huge boat, I wouldnt want to endanger myself and my mates. Is it very shallow or is it a good chance we will be hit with a rogue wave out of the blue? Would be very helpfull Thank you

Thanks miller and all the other raiders, I think the best way to go is install a isolator switch and also place a piece of marine carpet underthe battery box never the less. Ill get my fisho/mechanic budy to run the multi. I am getting a little blistering where Ive conected stainless to ally, is this caused by current then? I thousght it was just the two metals reacting and should have used a paste or sikaflex. IF its a power leak is that a posative current or is the hull earthed to negative that causes this corrosion? Thanks

Just got back from the pub and its a hel of a read in my state Thanks I think its the stereo now you mentioned it and its a 90hp suzuki 4 stroke 2007 with less than 20hrs bought new, I hope its got a computer Its the stereo mate. The boat is also a 2007 modle with new wiring. And the cigaret switch is also the prob. Cheers Hope you had a or 50.

Where do you get those photos, light saver Thats F#*KN funny NOW thats ridiculous for a reel, I dont care who your name is

Gday BFB, Thats right, I use the solar panel to keep the battery topped up only, when im not using it or when the boat sits not used for long periods of time . But how long should a battery stay charged if there where no solar panel there and with out use? Is it normal for a battery conected with nothing on to be flat in 4 months? If i isolated the battery would have it still been ok(charged) in that 4 month period with out use? Cheers

Gday raiders, Hows this weather for ya Sydney siders? one day and shining the other Ive got a very anoying problem that I thought I had licked. I park my boat in an area where I dont have any access to power these days but plenty of sun. I had a 4W solar panel pluged in to a cigaretlighter socket conected to the battery and was working well but the thing got obstructed for about 3 weeks and ended up with a flat battery. A bit of info on the boat: I dont have an isolator switch and run a quite large acid marine battery with 700amp cranking power I think. It runs every thing from electrics to a 4 stroke 90. Also I dont have a regulator either. Now my Q is: Is there any other way to keep it topped? Does the 4W sollar panel need a regulator as its only a very small wattage and is only designed to keep the battery topped up.? Should I have 2 batteries (then need 2 solar panels?) Should this battery have an isolator switch and does it really draw that much current eaven though the boats equpment is switched off when the battery is not isolated? Hope some one could shedsome light on this delemer. Cheers

Gees mate, that would have hurt, and not being able to go for a fish would hurt more. But as you know the weather is crap for a while, well all be out there soon Hey, atleast you didnt loose the pointing finger so you can post a photo of your self pointing at the 1.5m kingie you are going to catch this summer Get well soon

BLOODY HELL....... SUPERMAN Top work mate allways pays to fish rain hail or shine

Cigars all round God bless. Congrats...

Thanks guys for the tips. Ill post Pics .

Ok raiders, I was wondering if any one could give me some advise on fishing Jervis Bay. I dont get much time to get awaythat often these days due to buisness comitments and would love to have a craker week end. Ive decided on jervis afterall. Ive done a lot of beach fishing there and smashed a few Aussie salmon. But keen to try my hand on jigging or trauling. Has any one cought kings in Jervis around November near that island near the heads? What about snaper? Any tips would be appreciated. Pm if you dont want to tell the whole world Cheers Ores

I was looking over a warf at the shallow water as me and a friend where having a bite to eat, not fishing at the time, and we both got a shock of a lifetime, a huge jewie swam past us, right under our noses. Made sence, plenty of small mullet around that we saw shortly before hand..... I ran to the car, and about half way there reality kicked in, I usualy have a rod and a small fishing pack full of lures in my wagon, and realised we came with his car

Boody working at the ABC gardening show of all places Fri, Sat and Sun. I think im geting cobwebs in my moters combustion chambers. Im going crazy, all Ive been doing the past 3 weekend is working and reading fishing mags at night. Im geting withdraws, im twitching i tell ya I neeeeeeeeed tooooooooo fiiiiiiiiishhhhh! Maybe next week end All you lucky b#*&ards going fishing this week end.....................................GOOD ON YA.................and good luck Ho and have a or 50 for me

BLOODY SCABS IF I CATCH ONE OF THOSE BASTARDS DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO MY BOAT ILL USE HIM FOR BURLEY I HATE SCABS WE SPEND OUR HARD EARNED MONEY, AND I MEAN HARD EARNED MONEY, AND SCABS GET IT ALL FOR FREE.........

Mate, three beds, a fridge for the beer and no dogs, whell the four leged ones anyway. Do you know a place? there? Ive been ther a few times but never stayed there the night. Cheers

Thanks for the invite and the offer to help, Ive got a 5.25 brooker my self and thats roughly when I would like to go, buisness comitments pending. And my mate recons he is looking at geting a 4wd again, hopefully by then. Ill check it out with the boys and ill keep in touch. Mate where ever I go, cant wait to and have a or 50.

Cheers mate, Do you just park the boat on the road? What sort of boat do you launch at that ramp? Ive got a commodore s/w, supose it wouldnt be recomended for that ramp. Cheers

Hey Guys, Its warming up and would like to go on a fishing week end with the boys. I was wondering if any one can sugest a destination arround 2 hrs drive where we could take our boat. Im looking for some accomodation for 3 but more importantly that can accomodate my boat. Has any one been to any coastal resorts that they can recomend with some gr8 accomodation and waterways for fishing? Preferably with inshore and offshore waters incase of bad weather. Sugestions would be very appreciated. Cheers
