Raysway Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It's been around 3mnths , since we started with all the extras on our new boat, cold weather and work commitments slowed us down. After reading some of our fellow raider friends runs reports, it's pushed me to get out there. So hopefully this weekend we chase any fin , browns and beyond. Weather pending.

Raysway Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yeah cheers bob & Robbie This is our second outsider, the first was a 625 Which we lost at wanganella , heading back from Port Phillip bay (Vic) for the November snapper Season last year. We had a tyre pop which caused The boat to snap all safety straps and chain and slide Down the freeway. Thankfully no body was injured in This accident. I'll post a few pics Cheers Ray & Nick.

Raysway Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 I was gutted, spent a lot of time setting it up to my preference , but at least no body was heart, it slid on the freeway for approx 100m could of been very fatel. On the bright side , it's got me in the next size up. It will follow me each year , as I fish Portland for the SBT , port Stephens in March and Sydney for everything else. I hope this year is a cracker for all raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pictures near broke my heart we also had a 625 Outsider fitted with a 175 Evinrude Ficht prior to buying the 685 the 625 was a great boat also, I hope it was covered by your insurance as you say at least no one was hurt.

Raysway Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yeah mate it was decked really well, I almost cryied , as for the snapper, we did well, we had around 20 fish ranging from 3-5 kgs, caught over the 4 days we were there. Luckily the ice box was in the car not in the boat at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
