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

ive only ever seen the cuda used on yaks Lowrance is a tried and tested finder

Lowrance

i use tuffx,suffix and power pro all works well of the 3 i would choose the suffix

about time you blood in that reel anth ha give me a bell when u r gonna book up a charter ive got a few good ones i want to look into

my metals dont come out of the bag unless there is a school of fish on the surface im sure they would probally work if you just blind case them at some fishy looking spots but i have never tried nor would i bother there's better lures for doing that

hitting up the kings again tomorrow then Sunday im running as a charter for my bro and his mate to get them into some reefies all the best on the charter anth

looks like its RayR

it looks like its one of the "yellowtail downriggers" the rod holder in these are just plastic and they will fail might not be on the first fish or the 2nd but sooner or later its going to snap

i hope you dont plan on using that rod holder on the downrigger accident waiting to happen heres mine

i thought it was a crap fight over way too quick i find boxing boring these days UFC is alot more enjoyable

yeh i run dual downriggers and mine is setup diffrent to the above photo i have my downriggers on swivel mounts at the back of the boat with my stainless steel rod holders about 50cm in front of the riggers i choose to mount them at the very back of the boat as this gives them less chance of getting wrapped around my prop never had any problems ill post some photos tonight

haha i wish

went and bought a tachyon Helmet Camera uses SDMC memory cards so i can stick a 32gb card in there and record 8hrs of good quality footage or 16 hrs of average footage with around 11hrs of battery life the camera is fully waterproof to around 10mtrs so can be used for diving too comes with a remote control and all that jazz im going to mount the camera at the front of my boat so when we head out fising we can record the days activity's i did this last weekend when downrigging for kings using my little digital camera and the results where great i now have the footage on my phone and its great when sitting around doing nothing i can whip out my phone and watch footage of me battling kings for only $250 its a good little add-on to my boat ill post some videos once i get it out on the water two thumbs up
