Hi,

I am a bit confused about the diameter of Daiwa's J-Braid. Seem different package got different diameter in the same weight class.

60lb - 0.28mm

65lb - 0.41mm (only extra 5lb)

80lb - 0.35mm (thinner than 65lb)

So how I choose?  Which is correct indicater of diamter?

I shouldn't be surprised I guess.

 Looking for somewhere to stay for the night in Gero en route to further north. 

Will have a boat so hoping for somewhere with secure parking so i dont have to unload all my things into the hotel room.

Cheers

 I am not likely to get the caravan and dinghy and all the crap up to bottle bay on francois peron so am lokking at camping at big lagoon and go out through the channel into open water.  Will be mid June and thinking pinkies, black snapper and bluebone.  Is there reef or rubble outside the channel?  any comments appreciated.

Everyone had a smile on their face so it seems that they all had a good time there.

Curious if anyone knows off hand what a box of Lunds and a block of mulies will run me in carnarvon

deciding whether to buy before or run the gauntlet that there is any in stock if the price is comparable to an extent

cheers  

 Hey guys heading up to Sharkbay for Easter has anybody fished south of Denham up towards the Aquarium or Eagle Bluff in a boat and is it worth scooting out looks pretty shallow.

 Was out of hale road the other morning, and a boat pulled up less than 50m from another boat already anchored up, and proceded to dive under and around his boat, he packed up and left, should the divers have gone further away?

where the hell are all the snapper

 G'Day All,

I have an Simrad Evo 2 9"touchscreen unit with a large tranducer (which I assume is for the sonar/structure scan?

There are two other transducers fitted to the transom, one is an Airmar but I know nothing about it's specs etc nor exactly what it is for.

The third looks to be a smaller unit (bullet shaped) and possibly Lowrence???? This unit has a broken stem. I assume this is for the fish finder but am not certain. Anyway, can anyone assist me on this and if so what would be a suitable replacement for the last snapped unit?

The boat has an Etec 90 but is of a vintage just prior to being able to install a backbone for Nema and to have my range/speed and temps (water/motor etc).

I would also be very open to any assistance on operating the structure scan better as it appears to be dark arts to me so I never use it (if any of you do does this mean you don't use the fishfinder or do you keep flicking between the two?

Cheers in advance

Tight lines

Im doing my annual pilgrimage to the south coast in July this year but due to the low water levels in my favourite rivers,

we are taking the 5m Quintrex. I have never targeted queenie, harlequin, and nannygai in winter before and i am wondering 

if they are more of  summer fish or if they are active all year round. We usually fish between Albany and Hopetoun.

Hi all,

So planning to to do some night fishing in and around the sound and garden island this snapper season, and need to set up some boat lights

I have a 5.3m cabin boat and already have navigation and anchor lights.

Im going to put a floodlight bar on my bimini frame to act as a deck light ( looking at a hella marine one that I can alternate between white and blue, I’m thinking blue would be better to preserve night vision.)

I was considering some blue/white led strips under the gunnels but unsure if needed if I have the deck light bar?

Im not sure if I need some sort of fixed lighting at the front of the boat to see ahead when travelling. Is this recommended or would I be better off just using my night vision with hand held spotlight if needed 

cheers for advice

Hey Guys just on the topic of boat covers. Im thinking of purchasing a custom boat cover as my ebay covers have only been good for 12 months- if anyone out there can give me some feedback on their own custom cover- is it worth the expense- how much roughly for a 6 m Haines hunter and  recommended trimmers ??? Cheers

 Does anyone no where I can get a cheap windshield from for my 3.6m stacer

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can get some sheep lanolin? A few years ago I got some electrical work done on the boat and the guy gave me some to put on battery terminals to stop corrosion. He’s gone out of business now so can’t find get any off him.

cheers

Decent size. Must be up near Garrat Road Bridge...or somewhere. LOL

With a shellfish “do not eat as cooking doesn’t kill the toxicity” advisory .......wtf next ??? 

Hi guys looking to upgrade the Talica 10 two speed arm and handle and I’m finding a lot of links for just the one speed.

Anyone able to post a link to a two speed arm and  handle? 

Cheers

 Seen a lot of bait fish around in swan and want to catch them for tailor. Firstly is is possible to catch these fish and what methods are useful for them and second where is a good spot to catch tailor using live bait (live around canning bridge).

Sorry if this has been done to death, but some of the past recommendations are no longer doing it.
Need a Shimano Spheros repaired & serviced, baile arm does not play the game.
Any help will be greatly appreciated as usual.
cheers Rob

 Too close to the reef maybe, pulling pots. 4 lucky punters, epirb came in handy.

 Looking for a good jiiging reel for perth snapper and other species maybe dhuies, breaksea, baldies. Can be spin or overhead doesnt really matter just whatever is best. Also a good jigging rod with a slow action as I will be slow pitch jigging. What would be recomend braid and what lb. Budget is around $1200 as I want it to last. Cheers

Hooked up the boat trailer today, attempted to adjust the brakes as they were a little aggressive. Nothing happened, glanced down at the controller and noticed screen was red with a warning "Internal Error No Brakes"

I did have brakes, just unable to adjust. Got home and disconnected the trailer and the controller was still showing the error. Left it for an hour or so and all was back to normal, hooked up the trailer again and all was fine.

Hopefully it was just a hiccup and won't happen again, but I'm thinking something must have caused it.

Anyone experienced this before or have any suggestions as to what may be the cause ?

Cheers
