PSA: Head Torch "Travel mode"
Submitted by nebbian1 on Sat, 2022-08-06 22:53This is a public service annoucement.
If you get to the jetty with your fishing rod, squid jigs, head torch, and bucket, and your head torch gives 2 flashes and refuses to turn on, it is NOT out of batteries.
It is in travel mode.
As I learnt 2 hours later, when trying to charge an already charged head torch back at my desk.
If you find yourself with a torch that flashes twice and turns off... HOLD THE BUTTON FOR TEN SECONDS. it will flash again, you let go the button, and all is good again with the world.
Lesson learnt.
I hope this helps a future fishing expedition.
First reef bag .
Submitted by Da pirate on Sat, 2022-08-06 14:22Plan was early nope missed the alarm

Submitted by Jim on Wed, 2022-08-03 17:57Does anybody know if Vexed products use stainless steel hooks?
Just curious as I've always thought stainless wasn't the best option
for general fishing. Cheers

Caravan Hire
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Tue, 2022-08-02 11:34Can anyone recommend who may hire a caravan for a farm stay for my bro's 40th in September for 2 adults and 3 kids? I've checked out Camplify but the booking and service fees are at least $150 on top of the hire so looking to see if I can hire one privately with insurance etc still in check.
Cheers JF

Garmin EchoMap 75cv
Submitted by Alan James on Tue, 2022-08-02 11:14A mate of mine has one of these units and I'm trying to help him out. He wants to view the chartplotter map, the traditional sounder screen and the bottom lock screen at the same time. Getting the bottom lock screen to show with the other two seems to be the issue. Any / all advice welcome.
Contacting Garmin seems almost impossible.

Price of bait
Submitted by Adam Gallash on Thu, 2022-07-28 17:31Went and bought my first bait today since about 2006 before moving to the north. $48 for a 2kg box of Lund's, nearly fainted at the counter. Think the weekend will be spent on the throw net as opposed to fishing, what's the price at your local?

Moving to Exmouth
Submitted by RumPig on Mon, 2022-07-25 10:55G'day all,
New to the forum, thought I'd get involved, I am moving up to Exmouth in January and obviously know the fishing is pretty different to what I am used to catching on the NSW southern coast.
I have a 4.9m open boat and a bit of gear. Just wondering if anybody has any specific gear recommendations and could point me to the right spot for some info on what I am likely to encounter land based and boat based. I have a fair idea after trolling Google and the forum. Just wanting to get experienced perspectives.
cheers

Petrol at mid west marinas
Submitted by Camo.W on Thu, 2022-07-21 14:38Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows if you can get petrol at any of the midwest Marinas? Leeman, Lancelin, Jurien etc.
Looking at what I've found online they only have Diesal facilities through Baileys Marine fuels.
Don't want to get a bladder if I don't have to
Cheers, Tight lines.
