Central coast Mariner

great choice of music for the vid too.... top effort.

THat is just BS, the wellbeing of everything is effected by the greed of a few... namely ministers with pockets, and commercial parties with something to put into those pockets... Once again, listen to the minority, for the detriment of everyone. A dog's game.... wait a minute..I own dogs, and they wouldnt do that to eachother. So... So frustrated by this. Sometimes I think the only way to get heard is by using the loudest medium....MONEY. Wonder the reaction if all rec fisho's flat out refused to pay there fishing lisence? WOuld they listen then...Probably not.We would just give them more money in fines to do nothing with, lets just do to pittwatter what was done to cheaspeake bay bass..... all gone(google it if u dont know). nothng will change, pittwater will die, along with Broken bay. while a few commercial netters a fishers get fat (not even that fat), at the same time as decimating natural stocks we are all entitled too. (Shoot selves in fooT) BS, big bag of BS, huge bag of BS. very frustrated rant OVER, sorry guys, but like us all I feel we are fighting a loosing battle.

Done too, just send an email everyone, this is too important to ignore, I live on brisbane water, and this still effects me and my fishing. would love to see broken bay and pittwater as good as it could be. It's simply an amazing place that should be fought for.

Mate, its just unlucky. I grew up on hargraves beach and it can be fickle, really need to fish the gutters as with any beach. An option there not many people look at is the southern end of the beach, say the southern third, it is dotted with lots of little reefs and rocks that can hold a variety of fish. Used to Fish - spearfish and surf this area for 20 yrs. Get a livie or butterfly tailor out there at the right time, and you should find Jew, as the water movement here is less than up on the point. Have caught a few and seen Snorkelling heaps of jew there over the years. THe northern point is a little overrated if you ask me, and sometimes are better off heading up to the deep gutters at 3rd or 4h carpark up at Budgeiwoi (same beach, just a few klm's up.) Good part of the world...

Hey mate, I have a 150 etec from Huey, Im pretty sure mine runs around 50C or just under. But as mentioned, huey would know the news... and yeah, early morning, or cold days, I do get some water vapour. Awesome engine, 100hrs, and lovin it. Cheers

Hi All, I am taking the wife and dogs for a quiet weekend away up in Monkerai NSW. The property is just 400m from the Karuah river and, Even though I have promised the wife it isnt a fishing weekend, Im going to sneak a rod into the pajero. I am a saltwater boat angler, never really fished fresh. Wondering what kind of species to expect if any? Im assuming Bass, but others? Anyone had any experience on the fresh on the karuah river? Trying to narrow down lure choice. Cheers, Dave

Hi all, Wondering if there is a site that people use for barometer forecast, or even if they do them? All the talk about fishing and the barometer has got me trying to coincide my next jewie trip with the moon and the barometer... Cheers!

The only problem ive found is the ciggie lighter adapter I put on the end of the pump, is starting to rust... Took me a little while to get it positioned on the boat right, when youre comfy everything works, seal up the outlet to make sure no water leaks into your boat. Happy live-baiting!

I used an old esky, with the bilge pumping from the inlet (which I just drop over the transom when using) running thru the top of the esky and an outlet pipe (twice the size of the inlet) at the level I want it to drain from (this runs out over the transom too). I have to have the top of the tank above the boat so gravity get the water out for me. I just connected the bilge to a ciggie lighter adapter and plug it in when I want it on! She works a treat on the yakkas (they last all day), but haven't tried it on the squid yet. Just secure the esky with ocky straps or such! its fun fishing all the yakkas out of the bottom of the boat when you stop a bit too quick!! Nice and cheap and works well for me!

Thanks for that mate, I will check it out.

Hi all, Im taking the wife to one of the waterfront places on Bar point tomorrow for a few days fishing and doing nothing. Is there somewhere at brooklyn or surrounds that I can get fresh Bait from (prawns and squid)? I remember hearing something about getting it from the commercial guys, basically straight off the boat, but wouldn't have a clue? Is there a boat access bait store in the area? Also any advice on where I can get Yakkas from between juno and Bar point? (save going all the way to west head) Cheers guys...

Hi All, Im taking the new etec out to west reef (weather permitting) on saturday, have fished there a few times and wanted to head further out and try some new grounds. (maybe not brown's just yet!) Was wondering if anyone was heading out to some other reefs that doesnt mind another raider's boat tagging along. Like I said, only really done west reef an few times, (with some luck but, last time got me a 10kg jewie - pictured) and would like to head further out for some bottom bouncing etc. I have a 5.5mtr pride gazelle with a new 150 etec and a 70 liter tank. (+ 20 in the jerry!) GPS and Sounder and all the safety gear. If anyone is heading out that way on saturday and feeling generous, would really appreciate it. Cheers,

I dont blame you, Im camping happy with one new 150 etec on the back of my 5.5mtr pride gazelle. I can imagine what two 250's would feel like on the back of your new rig... Adrenaline would be pumping. The run back from the gong would have been awesome!

Great, thats what was thinking of doing, thanks heapr for youe help guys. Im off to play with crimpers, next weeknd I can fish...

Fair call, do I then just connect both the ACC wire and the power wire to the positive bus, without a switch? would this cause any excessive drain on the batteries when using the boat/motor, but not the stereo?
