Thanks Mark Jim will be very pleased to catch up with your Dad sometime today or in the evening....

In the meantime raiders Jim will be staying with me for a couple of months and Jim and I still need help with operating a GPS efficiently and would only be too pleased to have a go at the gamefish off National Park with a member who also likes to fish outside occasionally as well...

Hi jewgaffer

I'd be more than pleased to help you out with you GPS if you only need to know the basics like how log in a co-ordinate and set course to it.

I cant say im an expert but i have used a few on friends boats and my own. I bought e-trek probably 10 years ago. ive droped it in the water a couple of times and has several hard hits when ive droped it but still keeps goin and is simple to use. Then i bought a new GPS chartplotter with all the gizmoes which i can use but find it complicated and frustrating to use when rolling around at sea so the chartplotter rarely gets used and ive gone back to the e-trek

Im no a salesman for e-trek but if i can give you and other raiders advice it would be to keep you electrics simple. Dont use combination fishfinder/GPS/sounders. Have a seperate simple fishfinder and simple GPS

most people wont use all the functions of expensive electronics.

Ive currently got a handheld GPS, handheld VHF radio and simple fishfinder which im very happy with

The boys and i have been having friendly fishing competions most weekends with two or three boats meeting at jibbon and heading down the coast. we have been catching alot of pan sized snapped at the moment and the best part is not many leatheries out wide. i dont think they can keep up with the current. We normally depart jibbon at around 7am. If we get there early I can give you a rundown on your gps and you can join our friendly. If you or any other raiders would like to join our friendly send me a pm.

PS. Losing boats buy winning boat case of beer from bundeena for post comp celebrations

Hi Guys,
