  1. sounds good

    im off to cairns on thursday for a weeks fishing not going to NZ until late Oct

    just going for a few days jigging no sight seeing the only thing ill be seeing is 20+kg kingies being dragged over the gunnels

    should be free for a bash next weekend if your keen got a few new marks that im yet to fish inside pittwater had some nice fish on them last trip out

    one thing to remember about the sidescan is that it has a rather large control box that will need to be mounted close to where u have the sounder

    i havnt seen your boat so not sure how you are for space

  2. HERE is a link to the upgrade files

    What changes are made in this update?

    HDS 3.5 includes all functionality previously included with 3.0 update along with the following:

    SonicHub™ Compatibility – HDS 3.5 update provides complete functionality for SonicHub™, the world’s first marine audio server and docking station controlled by a stunning high-definition, waterproof color HDS display.

    System Improvements – HDS 3.5 software improves system stability and increases speed when operating with multi-channel sonar configurations.

    Navionics® Charting Improvements – This new software update enhances a user’s experience with Navionics® mapping products, including smoother route planning, shading of safety depths and contours with both metric and non-metric measures, correcting issues with User Settings not being retained, and correcting issues with HDS reverting to (0,0) position upon power up with no GPS lock.

    LCM Maps – This latest HDS software upgrade several issues associated with displaying older user-created LCM map data.

  3. this it will help make up your mind

    i no of a few ppl using it and they love it works to about 70 mtrs but would be best in the shallow water

    using it in pittwater is going to be great and in the harbor will be great too

    ive been too busy wasting my money on other toys i really need to get my sidescan going

    once i get back from NZ its next on my shopping list

    ill send you some links to some great articles on it

    another neat tool to look into is Dr Depth is software i use to create 3D maps of the areas i fish

    its never a good idea to ask me about things to spend money on ive got lots of ideas ha

    give me a yell once you get the HDS and ill give u a run down on the unit

  4. sounds like a plan

    boat has plenty of room

    dont want to break any FR rules so ill PM you guys when i get back and we can get a date organized

    what rod did you get SZ1

    im thinking of picking up the three kings 200gm with a pe4 for a trip to nz in oct

  5. So people with iPhones, iPads, Windows Mobile and other mobile devices get ready for a new experience and a level of use with mobile devices that have never been available before.

    doesn't sound like its a standalone iphone app more like a improved mobile version

    hope you haven't forgotten about us Andoid users im too lazy to write my own app

    looking forward to the new changes

  6. i use dawai saltiga boat braid and YGK Galis Ultra Jig Man X8

    the YGK is more expensive but the boat braid is just as good if not better

    might have trouble find the boat braid in oz but can import it from the states and its really cheap

    you really dont want to be laying line as you jig as its going to slow you down

    best to not fully spool the reel so it allows some extra room for the line if it starts to bunch up

  7. will do

    have u ever jigged with the reel before ?

    how much line did you put on it

    looks a little full you might run into issues when your jigging as the line is going to bunch up and get caught

    unless you manually lay the line while you jig which can be a pain if you jig nice and fast

  8. Doesn't seem to wobble, hopefully going to give it a test soon, just as soon as I get the mates organised as they are hopeless. If worst comes to worst ill have to wait to nz next year :(

    im in cairns next week for a week fishing

    when i get back i can get some thing arranged if you want to get out there

    i need to get some training in for NZ in oct :)

  9. $500 is a tad high but not too bad

    16.9kgs is the max drag recommended by Jigging Master

    dry lighting is when you attach the line to a weight on your floor then try to lift it using the rod

    unless done correctly puts alot of unnatural force into the blank and you can snap the rod

    the 200 is a great little rod im thinking of getting the three kings special 200gm for a trip to NZ next month

    enjoy the new rod

  10. there are quite a few places that stock the JM gear now

    dont get carried away and do alot of dry lifting with the rod

    its how alot of them turn into 2 peice rods :)

    what did you pay for it

    max drag for that rod is around 16.8kgs

  11. when did they leave?

    they will be in bigger numbers once the water starts to warm up and gets into the 17-21 degree range

    but the easiest way to tell when there back is you will see the increase in number of kingie reports

    i cant wait for summer been a pretty bad winter for me not many kings on jig hopefully going to NZ in October to make up for it

  12. pittwater tends to shutdown during winter

    really have to no the area well to fish it well during winter

    we scored some nice bream in the high 40's last week but apart from that its been pretty slow

    you would have better luck looking for birds and looking for tailor/salmon working the surface around the basin and lion island area
