Hey Guys,

Just thought I'd update the progress of our Research boat, a custom 40ft Blackwatch currently getting built.

What are your thoughts on electronics? sounders, radar, GPS etc?

Its now at the stage of fit out and would love your input.

How many lures do I need to sell before I get a tax break like that !!!!! I don't think a few on ebays going to cut it with the tax man...

Yeah hard to go past furuno. Guess its personal preference . I'm sure there would be a switched on team at SBL so there wouldn't be any doubt towards the build?

Nice boat

Just be extra carefull with the side window installation as mine are a pain in the backside with water leaks in a moderate sea although ours is a 36 not 40.

we have furuno gps plotter, sounder, and radar over twin screens and couldent be happier.

WOW, what a fantastic looking Big Game fishing boaT.

I've been using your lures for a few weeks now and what can I say, love them.

My mate gave me one of your marlin lure packs. Started running one for testing and it was the only one to get all the strikes. Now I run all 5 and the teaser chain aswell.

I can understand why you need a new research vessel, your onto a winner with your lures.

I'm converted...

Andrew,

Great boat. I'm sure it will be fishy.

A bit of feedback for you, I got my first marlin yesterday on one of your lures. It was the only SB out of the three being trolled. I had two of your teasers out also. Fingers crossed it continues.

Cheers

Got it on the blue and purple pusher about 10" long. I think it is the second smallest size.

Smelly pilchards didn't have any dolphin fish lying around. I know it says to try and use the same bait as the lure.

Thanks Andrew. I stuffed it with chopped up pillie. The teasers too. I got another hit on Saturday on the yellow scad again with pillie but unfortunately it did not stick long. Cheers

Nice Nice, close enough is good enough shane!! when we fish the fads before we head wide I gut the dollies and use what ever is in their guts in my chamber or cut the unwanted tail meat off (muscly section) and load it (depends how big the fish is).

yea I prefer using pillies as they are oily but with the amount of mackerel around I've been doing well on slimy macks!!

No worries thanks for the info I guess it doesn't matter what bait you use the oilier the better I suppose.
