Hey guys and gals

so being the good son that i am ive paid for the old man and myself to go on a trip to fiji and now realised i need to buy gear. Old boy is a fisherman but this will defiantly be his first and last trip so i dont want to spend thousands on a combo for him. Basically looking for a budget gt combo. Where we are going they hardly encounter 50kg mondos 

my two options i have in my head anyway is saragosa 18000 or a okuma salina 16000 

not even sure wherero start rod wise for him 

Hi Guys,

After your thoughts please,

I am buying myself a boat as a retirement present, however cant decide which one

It is going to be a Barcrusher but not sure whether to get the 615C or the 670C

All feedback and advice is appreciated, also what Electronics do you gys suggest, needs to be easy to operate

Thanks in advance

Giving the Pies their one and only chance tonight. The remainder don’t look to be too much of an issue. 

 Crew... Fairly sure I'll lock in a 370 outback explorer to throw on the roof of the ute ( yes Ranmar it's happened we've bought a van )...

Now wondering what to power it with.  If I got the 390 I probably would've got the twin carb 25 yam 2 stroke but as the max power rating is 20hp I'm now unsure of what to throw on the back? 

Ideas? 

 hi there has any body got or had a celfi repeater in there boat and if so how do they go ?? 

Ie what sort of range are you getting and are you happy with it ?

cheers 

 Seen a sign today that made me smile.

 Or , maybe not. A couple of very uncomfortable looking water coppers here.

Is anyone on here a ceiling plasterer that can let me know how much it'd be to finish off this repair job.

Cheers

 Hey guys long time bo speak.

basically have been working hard and decided its time to take that once in a life time fishing holiday. At the moment thinking ocean blue vanuatu 

anyone have any other ideas mainly just want to

do saltwater popping and jigging but somehwhere overseas

 With the forecast looking okish organised ShaneO to go out for a bash. Headed off at the crack of dawn with an easterly blowing moderate so thinking not going to be too bad. Wrong. The winds didnt drop off but picked up which made it a tad rough . I was asked "do you have any kwels on board " . But i will give Shane credit he stuck it out for a couple of hours till the wind dropped off a bit. We made our way into some shallower and calmer waters to give the whiting a bash. Them damn western butter fish in plague numbers made it hard to get the whiting but we ended up getting 20 decent size ones for the table. Lots of small flatties out there as well and them spikes hurt when you get stuck in the knee. Headed in at a leasurly speed of 25knots. Hopefully next time the winds will be more in our favor .finished the day off with beer battered whiting and chips. 

sitting in the Eastern suburbs thinking of getting the boat down to Hillarys but thinking the ramp will be absolutely crazy today, anyone been past or seen it yet? 

 Got this night before last. I was set up to do time lapses of some storm which didn't really lend themselves to good lighting still--too far away, all inside the cloud, behind rain, etc, then this one frame stood out. And that is pretty much how it looked on the instant review. 

Headed out from Shoalwater bay today towards 5FB in the vacinity of the end of the Poo pipe that currently has warnings relating to health issues fishing within 1km of the end.

Jesus Christ can you smell it when you're out there! The water is filthy and you can see the slick extending towards GI.

At first I accused my mate but once we realised it was neithe of us, it kept getting stronger.

I didn't notice any signs at the ramp but as it is a health warning, I am surprised there is nothing there.

Further surprised that Fisheries research were parked in the no parking verge area when we got back. Right in the spot plenty of people get fined.

SA won the toss and are having a bat. No Starc, has a foot injury. Probably from planting it in Warner’s arse.

 Fellas I'm looking at buying a winch to get a dingi on the canopy roof and also if/when needed for doing some winching out 4x4 or trailer etc. 

I'll have it mounted so it will be able to slot it in the Reece hitch but it won't be permanently mounted.

I want something reliable and strong without it being too big and heavy. 

Has anyone got anything or can recommend anything that might suit?

 Hi All

Going to Kalbarri on Monday for a week with wife and kids. I'm taking my runabout but the radio needs replacing and i've run out of time so it will be used in the river. 

If anyone happens to need a deckie let me know, chip in all the usuals.

Cheers, Choc.

 Righto fellas I'm getting close with my little project boat ( 4.75 Quintrex Bayhunter) It was a runabout but am changing it to either a side or centre console. It's pretyy well been a total rebuild, but being a milenium hull and in very good nick thought it was worth it. I'd like a few opinions on either, pros and cons. I won't put any pics up until she's together, I want to show from start to finish. I hope you'll be proud of what I've done here Gordon ;) 

For those subscribers to Netflix......this is truly a MUST watch, a 2,000 year old wreck ......so many questions.....how the hell did they build a ship that big back then, how the hell did they get stuff that size aboard.  A great watch if the weather is bad over Easter  

 Any one go up to steep on the 24/3 or drive out of the the forby track and witness the hord of rubbish left there

 Hey,

After some figured black walnut boards for rifle stocks. Have been to the timber bloke in naval base but he is running low. Does anyone know of anyone else that may be worth a shot?

here is the latest one ready to go in the duplicator. Figured walnut & tiger maple with 3 layers of carbon fibre. I normally press them when gluing but it has another blank in it! 

 Hi all

anybody recommending a trimmer nor

any one used the mobile guys at Bayswater?

cheers

 Libba gone, Ryder down...

Will Burton and Danger be back for Easter Monday game?

Zach Merrett 2 x concusions within a month most likely wont travel west to play Freo...

Grandfinal re-match, I suspect Tex and Lynch will be back.

Port vs Syd

Dogs vs Eagles

Bris vs Melb

All should be close games...

Hi All - Thanks for having me on fishwrecked!

I'm heading out to Wilbinga from Wednesday till saturday and targeting tailor (and night time mulla). Does any of you lads have any recent experience on catches? Also, with the rains coming down atm, any idea what sand will be like? Been a cpl of times over the last year and noticed a different feel in the sand every time. Slightly worried that top layer will be good but underneath... making any loose stuff difficult to spot :(

Feel free to come and say hello if you happen to be around - got a white FJ and probably be fishing the southern-end of wilbinga area!

Hope I can post some nice pics afters.

Cheers,

Pat

 Hi All,

Have they actually closed Canal Rocks Boat ramp already or is it still in discussions.

Heading down south this weekend with the rest of WA. If the winds play it right wouldnt mind getting off the west coast for a fish for something other than Salmon.

Cheers.

With the Dreamliner leaving for London this evening, being a 17 hour journey, rests are important. This flight will have 2 captains, a first officer and a second officer. This web site shows the crew sleeping areas.
