Hi I wanted to know how reliable a 15 year old sounder would be I was cruising the harbour on the weekend and the finder was going nuts with fish of all sizes showing on the screen so i would pull up and fish using bait and lures but no takers do you think the sounder is rubbish or the fish were not hungry? Adzzy

Hi all I would just like to comment on how good our harbour is This morning i was sitting by the water eating my bacon and egg roll yummmmm when i noticed 2 mullet cruise past so i through some bread in they egnored it but the black fish, bream and fan bellies didnt there were heaps of them and a very good size too while on the surface a prawn swims bye with a squid following close behind it, as i was pointing the prawn and squid out to a work mate 2 rat kingys fly bye where is the rod when you need it This all happened in about 5 minutes and by the end of that 5 minutes i think i only ate half the bacon egg roll and the fish ate the other half seeing this has lifted my spirits as i went for a fish on sun in the new boat and all i caught were small snapper i now know where i will be wetting the line this weekend adzzy

Hi Billyd Nice fish but at that size it was probably to old to survive the fight. are they good eating? where was it caught the bridge looks alot like the singing bridge in hawks nest think im wrong though gez it would be nice to have a world record catch of any fish one can dream i guess thanks for sharing Adzzy

hey the collapisible orange ones are the go. i have caught plenty in these over the years and the best thing is you can leave it for days if you wanted and the crabs cant get out and they will continue to climb in as long as there is food still in it with the wiches hats your relying on them to tangle them selves or for you to snag them on the way up also the net openings are larger and fish swim in to eat the bait Adzzy

Hey Dogtooth you are a freak you must be the reason why im not catchin the big ones i think you have taken all the hoods and left me the rats thanks Adzzy

Hey smoko i havent ever seen anything that resembles a fish in side another a fish all i have ever seen is the nasty guts and gunk you should have taken a photo tha would be cool to see Adzzy

Hi all does anyone know how long it would take to get from pittwater to browns doing about 8 knot and also to the shelf from same location and speed Adzzy

hi it would have been more fun on a lighter rod but hey a kings a king right

hey Framedtrash used my mates gear easier than taking mine it was a 5ft shimano boat rod and abu garcia overhead reel on 20lb mono

Hi Raiders i was wanting to know peoples thoughts on hydrofoils pros/cons do they really work ie to save fuel and better planing Adzzy

Hi I did a run on a mates custom chincogan 62ft cat out of Pittwater to Avoca and back on saturday oh what a day that monster of a cat just flies in 30knt winds we were doing about 20 down wind anyways so i sent out 2 rods with the xmas style lures and just as we were leaving the heads doing about 8 knt wham the bright orange one gets nailed over the white one lucky for me because it was my rod and i was able to pull in this nice kingy maybe just legal length but fat it was released adzzy

Hey Huey what i want try and achieve is to get the nose down quicker at take off it is ok with two people on board but with 4 it is terrible if i go to a 15 pitch will this help? i dont mind sacrificing top end speed as it is quick enough im going to try a hydrofoil today should i get a cheapie or top end one? At WOT it is about 5200 with two people and normal gear Adzzy

hey Pelican we can bluff the sails to bring our speed right down and also use the motors for a slow troll if need be but it should be a great day either way ill posts some pics tomorrow adzzy

Hi im a doing a run out of pittwater tomorrow on a mates 62 ft cat to tuggerah and back and am going to throw out some lures what should i expect to catch and at what speed should we troll/sail at Adzzy

Hi i was wondering what would happen to my 70hp yamaha if i changed the prop pitch from a 17 to a 19 would i get more speed at top end with less lift or vice versa my old one has had it chips all over no paint left and one bent blade should i fork out the extra cash for stainless Adzzy

Hi Pelican the ladder is in the way its were i want to put the back up motor to try and even out the weight of my fat ass compared to the miss's, i'm sick of the boat being on a lean all the weight is on the drivers side and i dont need to add more any ways got it all done last night moved the ladder to oppisite side and plugged old holes like you said it was quick and painless and looks good now to just bolt on the bracket tonight and its ready for the weekend look out kingies here i come ( i bet they are just laughing at me ) Thanks Pelican Adzzy ps got any ideas as to how i can add some weight to the front of the boat to get it to plan quicker with 4 people on board with out taking up to much room i had thought of a bit of lead

Hi pelcan Thanks for sharing your know how with me i guess i now know what i will be doing this weekend but i would rather be fishing so many choices cheers

Hi Raiders I have a ladder attached to the transom of my boat and am swaping it to the other side of the boat to make way for my back up bracket and need to plug the original holes from the ladder I assume the best way would be to knock in some dowl and gel coat over the top inside and out would i be right or is there a better way cheers Adzzy

Hi BFB i take it this means that there is a seperate relay for the up and down Adzzy

HI all i have a 70 hp yamaha 1986 model and i am having problems with the down switch for the tilt trim at the controls and motor, it cuts in and out at the controls and you have to keep pressing each time it cuts out and the motor end does not work at all The up button works well at both ends My question is do think the problem lies with in the switches or the wiring where should i start cheers Adzzy

Hi A mate of mine rows alot in the putney area and sais he has seen plenty early in the mornings could be a good place to start Adzzy

Hi I dive the harbour alot and trust me there are plenty of sharks mostly whalers but have seen the odd bull nothing over 2 meters on one clean up dive i did last season at manly next to the wharf bar in a period of 3 hrs i saw 18 whalers all about 1.5m and there were heaps of kiddies swimming no more than 40m from them. These kiddies were bit size for these sharks and they could not have been less interested Adzzy

hey all i have a guy here at where i work that paddles in and home every day from gladsville to darling harbour its funny seeing a canoe parked in our bike cage

Hi Raiders i have just reinstalled all 3 carbies on my 70 hp yammie after removing and cleaning them as it was running very rough due to not being used for a year. one of them needed re kiting which was done after installing them i started the motor and it ran well at idle as soon as you give it throttle it bogs down do the floats need an adjustment or just a tune to the mixtures any ideas cheers

Hi all A mate of mine just gave me a mercury 88 model 4 hp as a back up but it needs an impeller change it will be my first change so any help would good is there anything else i should look at while i have the leg off the motor has not been used for 4 years and only been started once a year thanks all Adzzy
