Mate pittwater can be a fishos nightmare I would be kidding myself if I said I go home with fish every trip key is fresh bait the only bait I ever buy is a block of pillies and I use them to catch bait or if there around feed the kings chasing the birds isn't always the best method I watched 5 boats chasing around a flock of birds on the weekend all the birds wanted to do was have a rest but the boats would follow themthrn spook them so they would fly away and the boats would follow we were out on Saturday and didn't have alot of luck as u said lots of bait on the sounder and we had quite a few boil ups which we think were tailor and kings but they would vanish by the time we arrived we ended up hitting up the valliant for donuts then went out to the flatty grounds which wasn't the best idea as I was way too hang over ended up chasing salmon off lion island for a few hrs The best thing to do is have the best freshiest bait you can get and if you don't catch ne fish its coz the fish are off the bite that day come back again with the fresh bait and sooner or later there gonna be on the chew and u will clean up we will have to catch up for a fish some time

cheers for the advice i had a look at some US stores and i can save about $200 by importing a Catalina but it still ends up being more then i wanted to spend i think im going to go with the saragossa how much 80lb braid would fit on a Saragossa 14000?? and does any one no if i purchase the reel from the states is the warranty valid here ? cheers

yeh ive had a look around and can get the Saragossa 14000 for only $100 more then the Spheros but once i get around to upgrading the drag and the handle on the spheros im sure its going to be a simular price to the saragossa think im just gonna save my pennys and go with the saragossa and just spool it up with 80lb braid how much line did you fit onto the reel

looking at the Shimano Spheros 18000FB with upgraded drag and handle what ya think

i have just bought the above rod which i plan on using for live baiting and jigging rod is rated for PE5 max so i need a suitable reel budget is around $300-400 with the strong aussie dolla importing a reel is a big option any tips of a suitable reel Cheers

its not all about the size of the anchor you need to have a good length of chain i bet if you have 5meters of chain attached to your current anchor it will hold

im not sure but that looks like my boat in the first picture good times we hit them up again yesturday gort some real nice ones great fun on 8lb line

brother has caught both kings and jews on a peice of chicken fillet

I think he has probably said one of the Naughty fishraider words so its been censored

no would just get you wet there expecting about 1.6 meter swell on sunday on Saturday its around .6 meters

cya out there

manly would be the closest its about 8-9km each way from manly

Small metal slices are the best for feeding samon chances are they are feeding on tiny planktin and white bait a tiny metal mimics these

sunday isnt looking too good Saturday is the better looking of the 2 check Seabreeze for upto date weather forecasts the link is at the top of the page and HERE

im pretty sure the ramp is out of action at the moment pretty sure its being rebuilt here is the location of the ramp

haha is that your office window i kinda feel sorry for you i would go crazy if i had to sit in a office all day looking at that ive got big windows but i look out over a main road

yes if it comes with a map at all it would be a very basic world map it would show almost no details

narrabeen bait n tackle

installing a finder is very easy just read threw the manual and it will show you how to install it and the correct location to mount the transducer any marine battery will work even a car battery will but best to stick to a marine deep cycle all you need to do is connect the positive to the positive and the negative to the negative the finder should come with a inline fuse already so no need to wire one up since its in a tinny best to keep the battery in a battery box to keep the salt water off the connections very simple to setup just read the manual and you will be fine and dont forget red is positve black is ground or in some cases brown is positive black is ground forgot one thing since its a tinny instead of mounting the transducer directly onto the boat you might want to mount it on a transducer bracket this allows you to move the transducer up and down and even remove it from the back of the boat if the need arrises they cost around $40

just open the map on your computer and press print screen on your keyboard then just paste it into something like word or paint then you will be able to print it out if ya want PM me the link to the map you want and I'll convert it for ya

heres a wallaby n bucket
