yes the pill boxes
just sound out the bait before you set anchor
bait can be found balled up all around that area
burley up with some bread and tuna oil and you will stock up pretty quick

ive had a iphone since they first came out in 2007 and have been using smart phones since day dot and i have switched to android and couldn't be happier.
with android phones your not limited to 3 identical looking phones there are a number of different company's making different spec phones.
at the moment the HTC and samsung are my pick im currently using the samsung galaxy s and its great
as for the app markets give them time the app store has been around for alot longer then the android market place but its growing fast
and lets face it a good 98% of the apps on the appstore are rubbish how many flash light apps does it really need

Is that a JM 3kings special I see there??
ill be taking me 150gm and 300gm over cant wait to see a decent bend in them
-
Great work John
Im fishing with carl in october cant wait
What jigs did moat of the damage and what colours
Cant wait to get stuck into a few

as Jeff has mentioned the shape of your hull and the size of your motor are some of the most important things
my boat is small but has a nice deep v and a good reliable motor
i take mine 20kms offshore quite abit and feel very safe but i have all the safety gear and always keep a eye on the weather
you really need to head out with some one that knows what they are doing and have done it plenty of times
just because some one has a boat license doesn't mean they should be taking a boat offshore esp a small boat
as for your sounder the auto settings on the HDS units are pretty much fool proof if its not showing you fish chances are there are no fish where you are
-
very lucky mate
not a very good idea to go fishing outside the heads any near cliff faces when testing out a 2nd hand motor
could of ended very badly if the swell had picked up
when i got my boat i didn't venture outside for a few weeks until i have full confidence in both boat and motor
good to hear you got back ok and got a feed
-
When using circles you don't strike at all just let the fish load up the rod and it will hook itself striking only pulls the hooks fromm its mouth
-
you can downrig with a jig stick with no worries
i used to use a jigwrex s605 and had no problems loading it up
just ditch the crappy release clips and use elastic bands instead
works great
-
i'll be hitting the lauriton and port fads next week hopefully. How long does it usually take for the mahi mahi to start schooling up around them???
a few months at least
-
not bad
the round back is pretty crap as it would wobble if you rest it on a table and need to type on it
and earphone jack on the side is a bad location
at least they got one thing right and thats having it run android
there are already a few phones on the market that blow the iphone away
and with the release of the windows 7 phones around the corner things start to get interesting
-
Gday
a downrigger isn't needed to fish live squid it just makes it easier as you can cover more ground
if you do end up catching some live squid its probably a good idea not to burley as your just going to attract rubbish fish that will come and eat your squid
my advise would be to try and get some livies from around west head (fine to burley here) and keep a eye out for the salmon and bonito schools that will be working around the area you can spend all day looking for kings and come up with donuts shouldn't have a issue finding the salmon and bonito no sounder required
-
nice work mate
i was out there for a few hrs yesterday and got stuck into some nice salmon and bonito
great fun on 4lb gear average fish was around 50cm
fish went deep once the sun went down but we still hooked up
i made some recordings with my HDS ill post them later gotta love a blacked out sounder
-
im talking about fishing pittwater from a boat not off the stones
different locations require different techniques and in pittwater big leaders esp when fishing from anchor are not going to help get more fish
-
the thicker the leader the better then chances you have of boating the fish you catch
but because of the thicker leader your going to miss out on ALOT of fish
pittwater is pretty shallow with alot of the good spots in under 15mtrs of water
the fish can easily spot a 100lb leader in that depth
i drop down to 30lb in some cases and i use a max of 80lb in any of my kingy fishing
fishing pittwater i use 30-50lb leader depending on if i am downrigging or bait fishing
-
yeah its not going to happen ha
these rods are for squid they are made to run ultralight line the guides are tiny and the largest leader you would be able to use would be 20lb
if you do connect to a king and it doesn't snap your rod its going to be a long drawn out fight which isnt going to end well for the king

Hi Matt,
I have just recently purchased a Baitmate baitboard and only fiited and plumbed it up last week. It's a PM640 which has a 40 litre live bait tank, a tray beneath and of course the chopping board on top. I can highly recommend the product in terms of looks, quality of craftmanship and cost.
Cheers,
Starman,
Gabe
verrry nice reminds me its another thing i still need to add to my shopping list
i want the same setup as your but maybe a slightly larger tank
can you please PM me the price you paid for that
cheers
-
nice work mate
did you actually boat any kings?
if your fishing where i think your fishing you should be using 50lb as a min to stop them quick
and be careful with your burley as well as those areas hold good numbers of jackets
ill hopefully be out there this weekend braining a few
-
Jeff is correct
to operate a VHF radio you need a license
FR has organized courses in the past do a search for the thread of PM a mod for info
-
well said dale
i find it more upsetting with people taking big numbers of bream then some one that takes 1 shark
im still yet to connect to a good shark perhaps one day

Just an added note in regards to lever drags, its also important to give the added protection to it while on the boat. When trolling or travelling with them in your boats rear rod holders they can cop a fair bit of spray from the wake. I have pulled apart one of my avets after a long day on the water to find a fair amount of water sitting in the gear box. Some reels have drainage points in the bottom of the gear box(jigging master for instance) but either way water has still come into contact with the internals. Unless trolling remove LD reels from the rear holders or cover with neoprene covers. After a long days fishing I like to pull apart my LD's to make sure nothing has gotten inside. IMO lever drag reels are by far the easiest to strip down, and at the end of the day id rather spend 20mins stripping one down then spending dollars in new parts. I also have since drilled a small hole in the lower part of the gear box of all my LD reels to allow drainage. (Note: don't drill the hole when the reel is together! You don't need a hole in the gear also!)
you could also just lock the drag up so water cant enter into the reel
-
nice work
dont forget you need to install a separate power switch for the LSS unit
when you turn off the HDS unit it does not turn off the LSS
im sure it says all of this in the manual
-
very happy with my tcurve
casts a mile lots of power and pretty easy on the wallet
-
good stuff mate
make sure you goto the lowrance website and upgrade the HDS
will have to get out there for a fish
-
Cheers mate got a book out and it looks too close to a chinamen to eat
Guess we will have to stick to the 8kg of freah tuna
Cheers
