I have a 3.7m tinny with a 15hp merc and am looking for somone to do general service on the motor and service/repack/replace the wheel bearings if required. Can anyone recommend anyone?
Cheers

Bimini Recover and New Clears
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Wed, 2016-01-13 08:59Looking to get my bimini recovered as it was one of those cheap Oceansouth ones which is faded and ripping and looking at getting the burnt clears redone. I've done the ring around and the pricing is similar with Total Canvas in Bayswater caming up with a pretty good comparitive quote.
Has anybody used them and can let me know if they were happy with the work and the service.
Cheers

Dhufish drag settings - to give or not to give
Submitted by STORMBOY on Tue, 2016-01-12 15:29Hi Guys,
I did a google search using my question, including "Fishwrecked" in the search to see if my question was not addressed elsewhere. I was not satisfied it was covered, hence my question:
For those that catch Bigger Dhufish (10kg+) I would love to know 2 things
1) How tight is your drag?
2) If you give the fish some line- does it get you stuck on bottom (reefed) based on your experience.
For me, I only catch small ones on 30lb braid with 60lb mono with bait. A 5kg Drag would be my max and I have never had one reef me. Ive had them dive back close to bottom but Ive always been able to get them up.
When I look for bigger fish in future will I have trouble with my Twincraft 2-3pe with 5kg drag? Or do you go 10kg plus drag to make sure they cannot get back down once you start the retrieval?
Thanks In advance guys.. I'm sure fellow newbies can learn from this as going just light enough maximises the fun :)

Bait boards
Submitted by Comrad on Tue, 2016-01-12 13:40Hi Everyone,
Just chasing any advice re: bait boards. I'm having work done to my boat next week and was hoping to get a bait board fitted while its in the shop. I like the idea of the Prowave bait boards that I've seen online, but they all seem to be in back order, and I think by the time they get over here, it'll be too late.
I'm chasing something of fully welded plate aluminium with solid mounting feet, not something with flimsy legs. Has anyone got any recommendations for anywhere in W.A. where I might be able to source anything like that? I'd really appreciate any advice anyone may have.

Sounder Shot Guesses
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Tue, 2016-01-12 10:24Sorry about the quality as I had some glare but I took this on some ground we found out from Forrest Beach last week and wondering what it might have been and yes I had it on auto at this stage as I spent the day fishing and playing around with the sounder trying to get a manual picture better than the auto.
We had just drifted past a couple of lumps I marked where I'd pulled up a Dhuey and a Blackarse and hit some baron ground before this popped up. My thoughts are that I hit some gravel holding a school of snapper... sadly I'll never know as the bite was very slow that morning on account of fishing 2 hours after the low tide.

Stolen Gear Busselton
Submitted by Comrad on Mon, 2016-01-11 08:21Hi Everyone, I'm posting on behalf of "Top Notch" here on the forums who's recently had some gear stolen, but is unable to put a post up at the moment.
Hey Fishing family, keep your eyes open for someone trying to sell an ugly stick with penn reel, fitzroy barra rod with a shimano Calcutta 400 reel, mares cyrano 900 speargun and a roller-pro 1100 speargun. Someone decided they would help themselves to them out of my boat last night down in Busselton and I wouldn't mind catching up with them. Spread the word to the wider fishing community and see if we can track them down. I'll try and get photos of the gear but all recognisable the ugly stick has John Dyer written on it. Cheers in advance.

Looking for some advice on bull shark fishing in the swan
Submitted by Mayfly on Mon, 2016-01-11 00:41I'm looking to catch bull sharks in the swan river (prefferably around Bassendean area) and I need some advice.
Are there any locations that anyone is willing to share or is ok to just try for them anywhere? And is there a certain time to be targetting or can you get them all year around? I wouldn't mind setting up for an all night session if that's what it takes to catch one :)
Any advice and tips appreciated.

Marron - Busselton and surrounds
Submitted by Pezdog on Sun, 2016-01-10 13:48Hey guys
Staying in Busso at the moment for the next few weeks and looking to get amongst the Marron. Is there anywhere close by I can try without having to stay overnight? Looking to just give it a go for a couple hours and try to get a couple for a feed.
Understand locations are secret so if you want to PM general area that's fine.
Also is it better with a snare or is a drop net ok?
Cheers for the help guys.

Airmar M260 ( in hull )
Submitted by hooty on Sat, 2016-01-09 15:48One of these on ebay from a 100% seller in Port headland for $500, a bit over 2 hours left on auction. Has connector chopped off but very easy to resolder the correct pig tail. No bids yet so a potential bargain with free postage included. No connection to seller, just browsing and spotted it.
Cheers.
