Dont forget the legal size for kingfish is 65cm not 60cm I think they should change it to 75cm but thats a whole diffrent thread

You could also just throw out a sea anchor or even a bucket with some rope attached to your gunnells This would slow you down quite a bit

All comes down to your budget and how much your willing to spend on a rod that you prob wont use all that often unless you do abit of traveling

Nice sticks Can handle alot of punishment But i think there are better rods out there for that kind of money What do you plan on using it for? ?

mate it wasn't far off a little bit dryer due to the hot smoking but the taste was the same ive cooked up about 5-6kg of the stuff in the last few days and it goes down a treat all i did was get 1/2 cup of salt and 1 cup of brown sugar and mix it all together then just rub it all over the fillets and then put them in the fridge for 2-3hrs then just smoke them for 20min and your done

Think you got the last part mixed up mate If it mentions imported first it means u r drinking rubbish juice Ie made from imported and local produce = rubbish

Hi im keen on smoking up a few kinfish i scored over the weekend as ive never smoked a fish before im after a little run down on how i do it i have the smoker,woodchips and king fillets at home just after a little run down on what i do next cheers

I always get the guy in the shop to load the rod up before i buy it If its going to snap let him snap it

sad news about the trailer but what are you doing driving around with a trailer with a bent draw bar and expired rego any way ??

i take it you want to run a transducer for both of them ? then yes it will interfere you will need to run each transducer at a different frequency

EP-60 will only work on a NMEA 2000 network if you boat does not have a NMEA 2000 network you will need to buy the starter network kit and create one very easy to do and only costs around $60 i dont think you can connect up a 183 device and read data from a 2000 network but as you said you can use the lowrance multifunction gauge like the LMF-200 which is a nmea 2000 device and this will work with the EP-60 but you will still need to have a NMEA 2000 network setup before they can talk to each other its all very easy to setup and there is no mess of wires like what you would have if you have to wire up a 0183 network its all plug and play

yes it should you just need to enable international mode on the unit read the manual

yes this will suffice you will need the 50/200 transducer

You ordering in a new boat mate Where do you hide all your boats so the mrs doesnt find out ha

How long does that cover take to put on brett And could u do it by yourself

here is the new alvey

the scotty's have 2 settings sounds like u r using the wrong setting the section ive circled changes the settings u just push it in or pull it out

last time i bottom bashed out that way we bagged out on ocean perch got a few snapper and kings thrown into the mix too i dont like to use bait tho gets boring ha

holding on the bottom out there would of been perch or cutta next time drop down some paternosters with small fillets of slimey

if u dont already have release clips i wouldn't bother buying them just use some stiff 100+lb trace and tie this to the tail of your bomb and stick a big snap swivel on the other end better then any clip and costs next to nothing to make

Size 12 rubber band Bomb depends on conditioms and depths 10lb for deep water in strong current and 3-5lb for inshore The scotty release clips are ok to use but stick the elastic band in the clip not the line and make sure the clip is set to it strongest setting You want the band to break not the release clip to open

you can downrig any thing replace your down rig clips with elastic bands and that will stop them pulling on with the pressure from the lure replace the cable with braid this will allow you to put more line onto the downrigger and allow you to fish deeper baits

haha sweet a new kingie reef in my backyard

jew's suffer from barotrauma (the bends) pretty badly pulling a jew up from +10mtrs is pretty much going to give the fish the bends dont quote me on the precise depth but im pretty sure its around that so in other words if you are after a jew for photos only dont go targeting them in the deeper waters

There is no ban on electric reels just alot of misinfomation I repeat there is no ban on electric reels
