Mandurah Fishing Autumn
Submitted by baconi22 on Sat, 2019-03-23 15:34Going to mandurah in weeks time want to get some prawns, cobbler, octopus and crabs. Entirely L/B so any tips would be great (location, tides). Is it worth targetting anything else e.g. tailor, whiting, herring, salmon, flounder.

Fishfinder Transducer
Submitted by Glass Off on Sun, 2019-03-17 12:27G'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

South coast in winter
Submitted by plugga25 on Sun, 2019-03-17 10:21
G'day Legends
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.
Cheers Legends

Boat lights
Submitted by joycey on Sat, 2019-03-16 21:55Hi 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
Joycey

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 ???
