Outrigger opinions

 Hi all with gamefishing time around the corner and for me the annual gamex trip I want to set up the new boat with outriggers.

my boat is an American tub, a century 2400 walk around. It came over with taco grand slam outrigger bases on the hard top that accept a 1.5 inch or 38mm rigger pole.

i will be fishing for sailfish and black/blue marlin running 24  and maybe 37 in the future from the riggers.

my options are as follows:

i can get the taco telescopic poles that fit into the bases. The problem is that I have heard they aren't very stiff which is a downside for marlin fishing.I have also been told that only the metal poles will fit in these bases not sure if anyone else can shed some light on this?

Another option is to get new bases like the reelax wishbone 450 bases off the side of the cabin with matching 5.5m poles. Has anyone had any experience with the solas outrigger systems? I know this will be a more expensive option but will have this boat for a fair few years to come and will be doing quite a few marlin missions. 

 

Sorry for for all the questions hope someone can answer a few for me.  Thanks guys

sammy.

 


Kids occupied

 Funny-my two boys (and my girls for that matter) have fished and boated with me in all weather and all areas offshore and caught pinkies reds dhuies sweetlip trout etc. 

But they can easily burn up an arvo catching blowies on the rocks by hand and hook


Re furb 7.4mtr Ali boat

 I've enjoyed watching the boat re builds and full custom builds by the guys on here and thought I would share my re furb as well

we have had QnW for about 6yrs now and travelled up north to the mackies a couple times until it shut the doors and recently been fishing Gnaraloo which is an awesome spot ,next year we are heading back to the mackerel islands and I'll be launching from exy and fish our way there, which has prompted the re furb.

Because we are painting the boat I figured might as well go all in and replace the twin 90's two strokes with a single four and found a 2008 250 suzuki.

Unfortunately the twins are 25inch legs as is the new suzuki so transom had to be cut and re braced to bring cavitation plate were it needed to be.

At the minute it's been blasted and I've got get all the silkaflex of every weld ready for paint.

Im looking for ideas on deck organisation such as tackle storage and other space saving ideas, also battery storage and set up.

I also have a kill tank which leaks onto deck and I'm looking for suggestions on latches and sealing ideas

Thanks fellas any thoughts would be appreciated

Ray

Cray Pots Garden Island Area

Hey fellow fishers, this will be my first cray pot season. Could anyone please help me out on where put to them around Garden Island at the moment please?
any info will be better than where I am at cheers


Early cray season = great white attacks

 This is from the Busso Dunsbrough times, can't find a link so I've had to type the whole thing. You better laugh as hard as I did.

the department of fisheries has dismissed concerns an extension of the recreational rock lobster season will put swimmers at increased risk of shark attacks. The department this week announced a decision to extend the season into October, coinciding with the height of the metropolitan phase of white pointer sharks' southern migration.

Perth man Greg Baker, whose sons surf and paddle board at Geographe Bay, is concerned the bait of thousands of recreational lobster pots would attract these migrating sharks to inshore waters. "There will be trouble, if not this October then next". "The fisheries department are keen to increase the takings for rereational fishers.... last year they increased the limit from six to eight lobsters per person."but allowing fisherman to pot during the height of white pointer migration? "Surfers, paddlers and swimmers deserve better than this.       Can't be bothered writing the rest. it goes on about the slick from th bait attracting sharks, but they can't get to the bait so their hungry and are going to eat people instead. This was a quater page report with no backing from anyone in any industry that has any knowledge of any particular species of shark......except Greg.

 


Cut and polish

 Hey guys I want to give my boat a cut and polish it's due it's painted aluminium trail craft can anyone recommend something really good or even someone who might do it? Cheers guys also while the ban is on is it true that u can still catch pinkies in the sound?


Jurien Bay marina meeting last night. How did it go?

HI,

I've recently purchased a Shimano Biomaster SW6000 reel which is all good but the Knob on the handle is a small T knob. I'm wanting to put something bigger on there, I've tried a couple of Jigging Knobs which fit some of the other Shimano reels but they don't seem to fit the Biomaster. Does anybody know of a brand that might fit?

Pro Crayfishing @!)&heads

I didn't know the pro crayfishermen thought they were gods gift to earth over here, driving their boat right through my lure spread cutting me off, no more than 15m behind my boat yesterday morning between Garden and Carnac islands. We had been holding the same course all the way from Pt Peron and this dickead couldn't alter course by 1 degree driving out between the islands. And before any one asks no we weren't in the channel.

I hadn't been that angry in ages. (I'm not saying all crayfishermen are dickeads but these blokes definitely need a good smack in the head)

Headed out this morning for a quick fish headed to Coffin Rock first drop resulted in a nice kg then the brother pulled in a decent sized flattie second drop two kg and the brother followed suit and on it went even the good old sand whiteing were of decent size was fishing in 9 metres and conditions were very good not a bad way to spend the morning before having to pull the pin as had to pick the rug rats up from school did get a few dirty looks from a few of the dads when I pulled the at the school with the boat still hooked up ah thats life

Was good also to see the fisheries officers doing their thing at Leeuwin ramp and checking everybody I dont think they liked my comment when I said we had caught 5 massive dhuies and 8 snapper lol

Just wondering if anyone from the clubs has any news on the FADS deployment for this year.

Normally hear about busy bees and such the like but haven't heard much this year.
