I eliminate then process for a feed. Doing my bit to cull the sharks and get a feed while doing it

Got another easy feed and had some fun with a 5 foot shovel nose on the old Shakespeare reel. Was a good 20 minutes to get it in . 

 All the best and 

 Went down for a few hours after work . Nothing else to do . Trevally and Queenie all swallowed a whole whiting and bleeding so couldn't waste them . They will be eaten 

Anyone on here know or can recommend someone or a company that is capable of food grade stainless welding at a fair price ?  pref NOR.

cheers

 Got this monster off the bank mid arvo. Went absolutely nuts. Was stoked to see this one come up the beach

 Had a couple of hours to spare today so took advantage of the incoming tide.  Got a couple of small sharks and finished with a Queenie that went 90cm . Also got the usual feed of whiting to top things off

 Ok driving up the coast last night my spotties gave up the ghost halfway on the trip, wasn't happy as it's a roo infested road at times and like all the light I can get.

Anyway took a look under the hood today and found the fuse for them, it was basically melted but not blown. I pulled it out had a good look and plugged it back in, the spotties worked again but I could feel the plastic fuse body getting hot so have pulled it out until a remedy.

It's strange as I've run these spotties heaps of times and for more than 2 hour stints along Gnarloo track. 

It's 40 amp and the wiring looks heavy enough but I'm no expert.

It's running two Narva LED spotties and a light light bar.

Will more than  likely get an auto sparky to look at it but keen for some thoughts on here.

 Great days fishing out on the spoil bank today . Got a real mixed bag along with a small shovel and a 100cm Queenie.  Unfortunately the 2 Queenies I got both swallowed a whole gardie and were bleeding quite bad but they won't go to waste. The 2small sharks were taken after harassing my live bait net . 1 took a bait that I dropped right in front of it , the other was too interested in my bait net so I just walked up behind it and just grabbed it with both hands . It wasn't happy at all. Couldn't believe I managed to get it bare hands

 Tides were all wrong with only 2 mtrs between high and low . By the time I got to the bank the tide had already been on its way out for over 2 hours but with the temp over 40 I thaught the beach was better than sitting at home. 

 See on the news yesterday and in the paper today that a pair of marron poachers got almost $100 grand in fines and their car confiscated for taking hundreds of marron out of season from Harvey dam.

Serves the greed bastards right, shame their names haven't been released.

It won't open or close   Any recommendations on a repairer NOR ? cheers

I am having dramas geting my  brand new dingy back on the trailer , never had this drama before with my past boats as they were drive on , and i have had a few whinch on  , wifey is good at controling the dingy at the the ramp but it slides of the new trailer , 

Ps thanks to the young blokes that lifted my dingy back  on to trailer straight  at point peron ranp 2 days ago with a 40 hp yamy hanging of the back who said aussie kids were week these days 

Took my boat out Saturday fresh from a service and antifoul. Running as sweet as can be and suddenly the engine sound changes and bilge pump and overheat alarms come on. Visual inspection showed nothing other than a bit of water in the bilge.

Drifting a few hundred metres north-west of Hillarys. Left it for some time but still too hot to run so I called a mate who came out and tied me up and took me back in. Haven't heard from the mechanic yet today but one of the raw water hoses under the engine is split from end to end. Hopefully that's all it is and he can replace it without taking the engine out. It's a bastard to get to.

Whinge over.

 Another couple of small sharks but only a few whiting.  Biggest whiting went 290 

Anyone got a good phone holder for the boat? Don't need a charger, just looking for something solid to handle the lumps and bumps. Preferably removable.

thanks

Anyone secured any black friday boating bargins?

Bias Boating and Boating & RV both have 15% blanket discount. I picked up a 9" Simrad Go for $1100.

Great to see Freo draft 4 WA players and three of those of very high quality at the top end of the draft. A midfield that contains Brayshaw, Serong, Erasmus, Johnson etc in the years to come should be exciting and such a young group with plenty of belief and purpose. Amiss, Treacy, Darcy, Young, Clarke all so young and hopefully gel well together in the years to come also.

West Coast did extremely well to drop a couple of spots for a future second rounder and still get a top quality player, unfortunately someone thought he was an XXXL in juersey size. The other draftee's have plenty of AFL family history too and well done to Greg Clark for finally getting a crack.

Exciting times ahead.

For the non Freo and WC folk, are you happy with your haul ?

 My mid week session wasn't too bad. Ended with some thumper whiting and 3 small sharks. All still good for a feed

Any recommendations for servicing a small Yammie outboard NOR?

Cheers

So I’m making the switch to Lithium for the house battery for the Caribbean.

Its a minefield of black boxes claiming to be of a capacity but anywhere from 80-50% of that is actually delivered.

I've spend hours of time researching (onsite) all of the lower priced brands and settled on EnerCore. They are an Australian business and design and service the batteries here. 3 years warranty. 100amp continuous discharge, 12kg total weight. They also are cutting out the nonsense of the lithium guessing game by providing the battery in a clear case so you can see exactly what you are getting.

You can buy them from a few places but rollingcart have a $100 off back Friday special ongoing so they are under $500 each. Code: BLACK2021

www.rollingcart.com.au/shop/enercore-clear-cased-12v-100ah-lithium-battery/

Few reviews seem positive about them with decent capitiy tests.

I have no links to either of these business but thought i would share my learning on the cost effective lithium market.

I'll report back once i have it installed/setup!

 Full respray in and out, new canopy and clears, new seats, new carpet and flush mounted the electronics ...happy with the final product 

 Got a mixed bag today. Started with the nice golden trev that went 700 . Finished up with a nice feed of whiting

 Another good man down...

We need a referendum, it's like the Olympics, you should be able to performance enhance a few times at least... That's actually the whole idea of competition, to see what the human body is capable of... Exactly like having coolant or lube in a race car...

Politicians, priests, captains of our national team should be able to dick pic freely like the rest of us...

Get the vax and get your tackle out fellas, make a stand.
