which fad have the reported dollies at? 

With our last trip out 6 months ago we finally got out for a run in the boat . Lost a good size gummy on the surface but ended up with a feed of our target species.

 Threw a pot out last night into the river that runs along side the park. Awesome crab sandwiches for lunch. First time posting a picture so hope it works.

 Hey all

I have perspex windows on my boat am just wondering if people have used rainx to repel salt water from them or is there a marine water repellent that is used cheers 

Anyone offer advice where best place to put boat in to take kids around canals to see Xmas lights?

 Last day in KAL and got another good feed that should last a while. Couple of decent size amongst them

 2nd day in KAL hasn't let me down for a feed. Won't be having carts for lunch Xmas day but these will definitely do

 Up in KAL for a few days and couldn't pass up the chance for a feed of yabbys 

 Need a deckie to go crayfishing. I live in Craigie near Hillary's boat harbor.

 Couldn t believe how low the t is a was. Never seen it this low before

 Hey lads and ladies.

 Unfortunately not fishing related but sort of.

 The family and I spent the weekend down at yeagarup with track care https://www.facebook.com/TrackCare/ , pemberton discovery tours

  and fellow volunteers doing the annual beach clean up.

 This is the 2nd year we've been. We've also been part of many other rubbish clean ups including wilbinga and mundaring powerlines.

This year we had 16 cars and a heap of kids involved 

 This post is purely aimed at spreading the word of what we are doing to our coast and bush land. 

 This small trailer load is just 6km of beach around yeagarup. Many larger bits are to be collected later.

I was also witness to rangers enforcing fines on people burning their camp scraps into the fire

 All it takes is you picking up your own rubbish or a couple extra pieces when you see them. 

Only future our kids have is one with no rubbish.

Cheers for reading

There's a new rally demon (or should I say Docker) in town.

Jesse must still be wearing his moon boot and got it stuck on the accelerator or else he's flipping biscuits and flipping cars haha.

Hey Guys and girls

I dropped  one of my pots  and the rope came loose... Just wondering if anyone wants  to help me out and dive on it for me and hook the rope back up...can donate some alcohol or a trip out  or something hit me up hoping to get done soon 

pot is in under 20m  out from Hillarys 

Which Aussie has the lowest number of runs in the first test?

Should we drop him?

What do you reckon?

i have a Hds10 gen 1 lowrance with a 600w transducer. I also have a tm260 1kw in the shed that I'm thinking of hooking up. Does any body have a hds 10 running a tm260? will it run it? I'd try it but the cord is for a furuno which I'm willing too change if there's some positive feed back. 

Cheers

 G'day  guys I'm a bit time poor with work  atm so does  anyone  know or  can recommend someone who is mobile  to possibly re wire my boat trailer for me ,  i just don't have the time to do it myself  atm ,cheers fellas 

The news I've been hanging out for and in the RAC Arena so the sound is going to be insane. Looks like that's Valentine's Day sorted!!

This is the last of my big 5 to see live taking into account I can't see Nirvana touring anytime soon. Yewwww!

Anyone know the boat called After you? Winch handle fell off near the navy entrance today, I have it will drop it into Rocko sea rescue.

hmmmmm 

 Hi guys

Upon testing my project rebuild (Regent Viscount), my 150hp Honda running a 14.25 x 17 3 blade  is getting around 6300rpm at WOT. This is too high. Should max at 6000 according to specs. But only getting 3 0 knots. So I'm chasing a 19.  Does this sound about right?

Are there any used props around?

Cheers

 Can't see Metallica so I'll go to see the band who prduced my most favourite album of all time (Number of the Beast) Iron Maiden. This show looks farken awesome. Bruce'll probably be flying in the jet so no probs getting here lol. Bring it on O earth and sea. 

Hey guys.

looking to get some wooden based pots this year to avoid scratching/gouging the side of the boat. just curious as to how much ballast people would reccommmende. usually have in about 20m of water behind the 5 mile out from hillarys.

cheers!

 If any one is heading to Gnaraloo [roads not too bad, was up there on weekend], Coral Bay [rip off bay] or Exmouth and need refueling in Carnarvon, don't head in to the easiest servo [Caltex] on the tee junction. They are on average 9-10 cents a litre dearer  than the servos in town. The new BP going out of town is 8 cents dearer than the town ones

 hey lads and ladetts,

 im building a shed in the back yard, 8x4m and curious what anyone has paid for a similar size kit shed to be built.

 or has anyone got any tips on a good source to get one built. if i can get a builder at a good price ill happily take that choice over doing it myself.

 also got some concrete work if anyones keen to quote up a job. 8x4m and 15x2m roughly

 located merriwa / quinns rocks

 Can anyone reccommend a Rottnest mooring contractor?

 Heard on the radio about a fisho that was rescued last night at around 10:30 clinging to the hull of his upturned boat after setting off his epirb . Shows the importance of having one handy to just grab. Very lucky 

 HI Gentleman.

I'm researching putting some 12v motors on a couple of Alvey reef master winches that i have laying around the shed so we can try our hand at a bit off deep dropping 200+ meters.

The main issue i have is getting the right motor, I can purchase a 12v motor 300w with 80 rpm and 22 to 25 newton meters of torque and that seems to be about the best torque motor i can get.

12v ticks the box 

80rpm is a bit quick so a speed controller will fix this. i will need around 70rpm to retrieve roughly 50 meters a minute.

Torque,, here i think is my problem. 22 to 25 newton meters of torque i dont think is enough. If i've done the sums correctly, lets say 25 newton meters of torque only equates to 18.4 foot pounds or 2.54 kg-m , which to me doesn't sound like its not going to be anough to retrieve a say 30kg fish (assuming I"m going to catch 1)

If its measured in kg-cm now its 254 kg-cm which sounds like more than heaps to retrieve this fish and this motor is more than suitable

My question to all the engineers on here...... Is 25 newton meters going to be enough??

Ive reserched the heck out of it from people that have already done this and i"m not having any luck with what they have used. i've watched i think every youtube video and they all look great and I'm keen to make it happen but im stuck on the motor bit.

I have access to lathes and mills at work so that part will be covered. If anyone has already done this or can advise me it would be much appreciated 

 G'day all

I've been asked to quote on building a pontoon roughly 3m x 2m which will be moored for kids to swim out to and play on etc. 

I'll be fabricating from ali but of course there's the problem of heat during the day and I'd like to avoid the kids getting burnt feet etc when they climb on. 

Can anyone suggest a product that doesn't cost a fortune that I can fix to the top that will absorb the heat. 

Cheers

Andy
