Botany Today

[pjbink]

I was greeted with an unusual sight when passing under Tom Ugly Bridge on the way out in the form of a seal next to one of the pylons! As to the fishing I picked up a couple of flaties on the sp's (not worth getting the camera out for). Also picked up a few squid and trolled on live around the container wall for no result.

PS: on the way up the center of the Bay, bouncing around a bit in the westerly chop, my motor suddenly lost most of it's power. There was no sign of overheating or prop entanglement. I was faced with curtailing my fishing and crawling back to the ramp at 2 knots. I started to think that the problem might be spark plug related (maybe oiled up from the slow trolling) and remembered the spare plug in the tool kit, so I droped the anchor and removed the cowl. Well it was spark plug related allright - the lead had popped off! I pushed it back on and went from 2 knots to 24 knots! Has anyone had that happen.

Cannot say I have mate, my 2HP would be lucky to push out 2knots with a 10knot tail-wind

mine was starved of fuel and I found the pick up on my new tank sucking up the bottom of the tank, cant believe the pick up was exact roof to floor of the tank size,perfect and blocking the fuel from going through

i've the seal around the container wall..... interesting that its moving down the river.

unlucky not scoring any kings around the container wall..... they still there tho in small numbers. i was out today and trolled around the north head of botany and picked up a few small kings and lost 1 good king.
