GH1952 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Ive decided that Friday looks as the best weather for fishing and I am going out to try and give the tuna a bit of hurry up. So far Ive got myself and one other comming out so if anybody wants to have a run let me know. I'll be leaving from Newport about 9.00am and fishing into the late afternoon.

Mgarbett Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Good luck. I was going to go on Saturday out of Broken Bay, but the wind forecast was bumped up as you saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshine Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Good luck. Wind forecast might change yet again for the better. Let us know how you go out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GH1952 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Just as well no one took up the fishing trip offer as it was very short lived Untied the boat and went out past the Newport arms out into Pittwater past the no wake zone . Opened up the throttles and noticed a bad vibration on the port engine. Stopped the engines and put the gear box into neutral, started the engine up and reved to full revs. All seemed ok no vibration or engine miss up to full revs, engaged the gearbox and Brought the revs up to about 1500 rpm and the vibration starts. Shut the engine down and check the gearbox oil level and all is as it should be. I think this is one for the cummins mechanics to sort out. Turn the boat around and put it back into the pen. Oh well put plan B into action a change of clothes and off to the boat show. I did hear a report on the radio of one boat out past Browns with two yellowfin on board by 8.45 am but can't verify if it was true or not.

Paddy454 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hey mate, If the engine revved to full revs smoothly no vibration and then at 1500 rpm in gear I would be thinking it could be shaft/prop related,even something wrapped around the prop or shaft. Not sure if you have shafts or legs but guessing shafts, I had vibration on my old 35 Bertie and it ended up being a misalignment of the shaft to gearbox coupling which an adjustment to the rear engine mounts rectified. Good luck with it, Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacko69 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I was out there today and didn't hear much on the radio. I heard the boat say they had caught two yellowfin but I didn't believe them as the water temp east of browns was quite cold. I deep dropped Browns for one Gemmie. Had another big fish coming up from the deep that got sharked with 50m to go and then I ended up fighting this Mako manually on my electric reel for the next hour. I got it boat side and estimated it to be around the 100-120kg mark. After that I got sealed to a Gemmie. Does anyone have any tricks on how to get past the seals or once they are there its a free feed for them. So annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richyb Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We went out today as well. Trolled south of browns then circled back to NE of browns then back to shelf. Was absolutely dead out there for us... although weather was perfect so cant complain im hoping to go out again on sunday if that wind drops a bit...

Scent Blazer Lures Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) that's a bummer, around heatons looks really good, theres massive break there, 18 to 21 Edited July 31, 2015 by Scent Blazer Lures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacko69 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Unfortunately the morning I left I checked rip charts and there was too much cloud cover to show me that temp break otherwise I would have headed straight to heatons. Wish there was mobile service out there to check rip charts for daily updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternative is a sat phone which is expensive per minute or one of those big Sat dishes. I just use the cloud free sst if there are other ones are not available, they aren't too bad on ripcharts, gets you close enough to the mark and you can work the rest out when your out there.
