1984 the vro stands for Variable Rate Oiling nice little boat what are they asking

has happened to me in the past just call up your dealer they will have spairs there is a number on the ignition that corresponds to a key there are only a few diffrent keys that start up the mercs they should carry spares

try some of the wrecks they should still be at the usual spots just deeper

nice fish ill be jigging up that way on the weekend hopefully the fish are around

cant you just say its a present u dont pay duties on presents Little Hooker which JM rod i have a few now got my eye on the 100gm rod now ha

cheers for the link

rod tubes are best but ive had all my rods shipped in PVC pipe and never had a problem they have come from thailand,states,new zealand,japan and never had a problem alot cheaper then a rod tube you will prob only use a few times feel free to courier them to my place ill take good care of them

boat is fine it all comes down to the skipper take some one out with you who has been out a bit and always check the weather forecasts dont risk any thing

also depends on what knot you tie to connect your main line to the leader some of the larger knots can cause bubble trails and the jackets attack them and if you have been eating food as you fish the oils from the food get onto your hands and then onto your line and the jacktets attack your line pesky little thing hopefully they stay away from my lines this weekend

squid are in fact colour blind but they do see in shades of grey so im sure they can still see the line sure they cant tell what colour it is but they can still see it hence the reason squid leader is pink as its one of the first colours to vanish under water

as slinky has said no sounder is going to tell you what is a king and what is a snapper you have to interpret the data on the screen and make your own decision to what species it is im currently in the process of upgrading my sounder it was either going to be a furuno 620/585 or a Lowrance hds 7,8,10 i went with the lowrance hds10 as its got a massive screen and a chart plotter and also gives me the option to install side/down scan at a later time they work great in deep water too fishing the bottom at browns is possible using the standard transducer no need to shell out for a big 1k tranny

jig rods are really for boats there no good for throwing lures as they are too short you could possibly use one of the lighter rated rods that are slightly longer but they are not made to throw lures just made to work vertical i would go with a nice spin rod ill sure some one will have some good advise on what size to go as i dont fish off the rocks

top work as usual john whats up with the king in the first photo is that a healed shark bite or did it get banged up during the fight and what outfit is that in the background looks fancy cheers

is it too late to put in a shopping order ill take one of each

hmmm i have never caught a hairtail very tempting ill see if i can arrange a crew and get back to you

as said its really personal preference and what you get use to using ive tried both hi and low speed reels and i find low speed being the best for jigging i find with hi speed reels i cant get the right action out of the jig the way i jig is that in the time it takes me to do a complete crank of the reel i have the rod tip go down and back up this allows the jig to drop down then spring back up with the motion of the rod and the reel takes up the slack as the jig comes back up using a hispeed i cant achieve this so i dont use them a great dvd to get for helping with all things jigging is called "Heavy Metal at the Ranfurly" it goes thru every thing and is very informative

haha trust me i no all the tricks to making fish look bigger on camera the fingers around the tail are a dead give away for size tho i need to get out there

nice work guys that is a angry looking king what size and weight was it

if you want a really nice rod but dont want to spend the big bucks Jigging master have a new lower spec rod out called the Ocean God only prob is you cant get them here but there only $300 + shipping would be a great rod without paying top dollar

as already said the tcurve 500 is way too heavy for sydney waters and its a broom stick way too stiff esp if your new too jigging if you want to stick with a tcurve go with the 200 the saltists are nice reels but i think the gear ratio is too fast would be fine for live baiting and throwing lures but for jigging you will find you will get tired too quickly esp if your using a big stiff 500gm rod if you want to get into jigging i would save up a little more money and get a saragosa gear ratio is good 4.9-1

that is how alot of ppl actually retrieve there boats at long reef drag the boat up onto the sand then drag it onto the trailor not sure if this person meant to do that tho as i wouldn't be doing it with a nice new fiberglass boat ha

looks good i have pretty much the same trailer my only question is when are you going to come and do mine

try working below the schools good chance of a king

PM sent try to get that friday off mate

then watch these videos i think ill need to send my reels to slinky when its time for a service no way am i taking them apart ha
