  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

  3. this it will help make up your mindi 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. thanks mate but im all good just bought all my gear today and as usual went over the budget got a Tcurve King Mack Spin 8-12kg matched to a saragosa 5000 running 30lb total came to around $670ish
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. looks good how is that reel to jig with looks pretty wide does it wobble ? when are you going to break her in
  11. nice work mate what depth of water did you catch him in from memory jews pulled up from over 10mtrs of water have a pretty low release rate
  12. $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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. give Gary from Seriously Stainless a call Gary Bricknell * PH 0438264377 * FAX 99480541
  17. Gday Steve hope ya getting better mate as you no ive got rid of my iphone so im doing this from memory open up cydia and do a search for SBSettings and install it then do another search and install UserAgent Faker SBSettings give you the abilty to swipe your finger across the top of the phone and a menu drops down where you can disable/enable features such as 3G,wifi,bluetooth and so on the UserAgent Faker tricks the website you are connecting to into thinking your using a pc so it defaults to the full version of the webpage instead of the mobile version i also have a work around for the photos as well but thats a little more complex and requires adding a few new sources and so on and as for your #3 thats just the apple browser very annoying i would just do a select all and just wipe the msg and reply from a blank screen my advice is to ditch the crappy apple product and go pickup a android device
  18. gday mate pretty sure i saw you on the rocks fishing off the stones at palmy i was fishing with my mate in my little blue boat with the dual down-riggers on it we anchored up pretty close to the rocks apart from some big squid and a few port jacksons it was pretty dead
  19. nice work ill be jigging terrgial this weekend might run 2 assist hooks off the jigs and see if i can get a double header
  20. no offence but if u have to ask these kind of questions i really dont think u should be taking a boat all the way out to browns its a long way out and a long way back in
  21. ive got a saragosa 18000 and its never needed a thing done to it the only thing i have done is change the handle on it to a stella handle and i just added a little bit of loctite to the handle screws im no reel expert but i dont think u should be using loctite inside of a reel if it seeps into some where its not supposed to your going to have issues
  22. looks like a german stick hand grenade actually im pretty sure thats what they are haha will make fishing pretty easy using them
  23. well that's a different story all together it might be what your after then i dont fish for marlin so so cant really help you out but if your after marlin i think you might want to look into getting a better reel saltist might be fine for kings but for marlin you might want to look into some thing better your also going to need a reel with a big spool so if the fish goes for a big run you wont get spooled a big stella 20000 would do the job or look into overheads
  24. i found a good picture of the tcurve 500 ill include it with the post the 500 is way too big for around here if you really want a tcurve go with the 200 the 500 is way too stiff
  25. that video is filmed in Tairua New Zealand nice reels but ill take a stella over a saltiga any day
