very nice congrats
i bet shes going to be a nice stable fishing platform
-
here is some photos of the ice box/seat i want to have removed
as you can see it takes up alot of valuable deck space
dont have a rule with me but the size of the red tank is 584(L) x 355(W)
and i would say that the bottom of the box is about 10cm below that of the floor
having a underfloor tank doesnt really bother me as there is alot of room under the transom which will easily fit a new 75ltr tank i would be happy to just cover the hole glass it up and just carpet the whole boat
floor tends to get a little slippery once theres some blood n ink on the floor so carpet is long over due

yeh ill get some pics of the old girl
needs a good cleaning first, yeh wouldn't mind getting a few ideas for the old girl
there is alot that could be done to her shes a little ruff around the edges but she runs well and does her job well
i also plan on getting some bow rails put down the sides to add some extra height to the sides which will help when out at sea in swell but im in no real rush for that
maybe after chrissy catch up for a fish and go catch some pitty kings

Cheers mate
i spoke to Andrew about it yesterday he was saying it was a fair bitch to setup the underfloor tank
so i think im just going to remove the box and just cover it with some marine ply and then glass it over
should be alot less work and alot cheaper
might take up a offer on help with the carpet saw your handy work on andrews boat very well professional
ya hear andrew is selling his boat
-
mate now you have the dual downriggers
the next thing you really should have in the boat is a decent live tank that pumps in fresh water
ive got a good homemade job if you want some tips and only worked out costing under $100
gotta keep those livies healthy

Very entertaining read, congrats on a nice outing and the smile says it all.
What is the cage thingy in the pic looks like the young fella is in gaol..
Good onya buddy ...
its the new cleaning tables at the boat ramp at botany
-
these are the spoons
runnings duals is alot of fun just wait till you sittin down trying to light up a smoke and they both get hit at once
fun times ahead
-
Mate, they are the best
, Im odering my second one from the states today haha that was quick i at least lasted a few months before i bought my 2nd one ha
if your ordering in from the states take a look at the spoons they use for downrigging for salmon
i reckon they would go great on kings ive never seen them in shops over here
-
well done mate
sounds like you got your downrigger all sorted out
great tools they are
i wonder how long it will take until there's a 2nd installed
-
Well I want to make some changes to my boat to increase the fishing space at the back of the boat
At current behind the 2 swivel seats there is a LARGE ice box/seat that’s glassed and sunk into the floor
Sure there is times when its very handy like when your sitting around doing nothing but when the fish are on the chew it gets in the way
We don’t use it as a ice box we just use it to store our 45ltr fuel tank so it’s a big waste of space in my eyes
What I want to do is remove the box all together and if possible turn in into a underfloor fuel tank or kill tank
and to remove the 2 swivel seats ( 1 has already been taken out well broken and I never put it back in)
I then want to fully carpet the floor and replace the seats with a large padded esky that’s strapped to the floor which allows me to remove it fully if I want to
Now ive never done much glassing so just wondering how big a job this would be ive got a few mates who work in the boat industry who im sure would help out if I get some beers on ice
Just wondering what kind of money do u think ill be spending and how long it would take to do
Ill get some photos of the boat later on to give you a better idea of what im talking about

Gday Russ
yeh i was just going to make my own until i sourced some Du Bro downrigger shock kits
im getting 2 sets sent out for $22 inc shipping
they actually look alot better then the orginal scotty ones
i gave gofish a call but they didnt stock them and wouldnt have them in till after chrissy
so Dubro it is
-
my downriggers had a run in with a reef on the weekend
and it lost big time
ended up snapping the cable and loosing 2 shark canonballs
does any one now here i can buy the terminal kits for the end of the wire
i can only find them OS
and does any one here make DR bombs coz it looks like im back in the market
would prefer the shark style ones
this is the kit im after
-
i just use a sibiki bait jig
sweep is always going to be a bycatch of yakkas
just keep at it
-
cant go wrong with owner trebbles
get yourself a pair of split ring plyers can get cheap ones for around $10
with the plyers its a very easy process takes a few seconds to switch them over
-
or a Garmin Fishfinder 140 they only cost around $160-80
had one on my boat before i upgraded and had no problems
install the transducer on one of the removable plates so the whole setup is removable
would run fine off one of those little 12v battery's
-
umm
newport arms whalf at night
-
they take coin and credit card
and make sure you pay for the time your going to stay for
mate got busted a few weeks ago coz we came up 1hr late and got a fine
-
use bigger hooks so u cant hook the pinkies
but if they are there they will keep on stealing your baits
or
change locations
-
i picked up a big river2sea poper last week
comes with some big owner trebbles and was less then $20
lets see if i can turn it into a nice king this weekend
-
nice report
havnt hit newport reef for a while might give it a hit this weekend
-
as Flightmanager said taking photos is always a good way to prove what size the fish was
in my boat theres a photo taken of pretty much most fish that hit the deck
and in alot of cases now theres also video of it
