I bought a new furuno gp1971f sounder that came with a airmar p66 transducer all new on the weekend just in the process of setting it up but when I go to choose the transducer they don't have a matching code my tray is a tm165hw but in the list the closest I can get is a tm185hw. Will that work? 

Went to shops to buy some polony for sandwiches out of stock . Have no clue why ? It was like pandemic with toilet paper . Bugger

 Jesus! 45 degrees forecast for Lanno just up the road from us  for Xmas day. This means I'll have to make extra ice to keep the cans cold.

Aside from that it looks like some pearler days coming up after boxing day with the swell dropping off to less than a metre.

Fishranger 10 day gives windows during the day so we'll be heading wide and boy am I in need of a fishin fix. Haven't done anything serious since May so gonna go hard. Lot's of new jig toys to play with can't bloody wait. 

Fishing plans boys? Are the Fads out? 

 Killed one of my donks a while ago and It's been a mission to find a replacement. Picked up this monster today. Can't wait to get back on the water.

Brand new string of pots put out two weeks ago just of Parmelia Bank, Brand new float marked with my I'd. No pros in the area, today I find pros string and mine are gone...Fkin Raging!!..Will dive the mark next week in case the float has been chopped...wishing the pro all the best, hope his string stays in one piece...

Goodmorning ladies and gents

Im heading to Peacful bay in a couple of weeks and Im hoping someone can give me some direction on the fishing down there. Ill have a 4.5m boat, the dog and my partner so we wont be venturing to far out. We have 6 nights at the caravan park so fingers crossed theres a weather window to get out. I have read a few posts in the search column and understand Rame head could be good but I think it might be a bit far for the crew. If anyone has any info, tips, spots they are willing to share that would be greatly appreciated. If anyone is around down there at the time ill deff have a spare spot onboard as well.

Cheers !

Bait board problem

Hi everyone. I have bought an ocean south large bait board which is designed to fit into the rod holders at the back above the motor. My rod holders are on an angle learning a bit away from the boat like they usually are. As a result, the bait board isn't flat but is also leaning away from the boat. Am I making some sort of horrific newby mistake here? Or do I actually need to swap out my rod holders for the type that go straight down?

Thanks in advance 

Enjoy 

The video says it all.

Finally got round to mounting my ducer and about to try it out in the river. Does anyone mind putting up their prefered settings as a start point to start tweaking to my liking?

Cheers JF

Hi all

Caught a few crays and some have been steamed or boiled whole and then got as much meat out of the heads and legs, but not sure what to do with crays that I have removed the head and frozen tail only. I would imagine that head and legs only dont need to cook as long as whole crays ?

Up to now been mincing therm up and adding to burley but freezer cant take any more burleym and dont want to waste. Any suggestions - Cheers

Some of you may have seen on my last YTK report a comment from member NORUN NOFUN hoping I could test out a couple of his unique handmade timber lures on the local Kingfish population. I contacted him on his Facebook page "Scotty's Lures" and last week I flew home from work to find a neat package in the letterbox. To NORUN NOFUNs' credit, no more than 15hours from arriving in my letterbox, the lure was hanging from a fishes mouth. An explosion of whitewater erupted on the lure, the dual props proving irresistible to a pack of kings on the second cast of the morning.

Cheers Scotty for reaching out to me mate, really appreciate it and looking forward to getting out there again and giving it a flick.

 I need too up date the rear of my trailer is a pain in the ass at the best of times and the transom or tapered bunk rollers are giving me hell so I was thinking of removing them and placing some of that blue bunk on either side  angled towards the centre roller and replace centre roller with a self centre roller would that work. Crude drawing incoming

 Hey all

The boat Im currently building is getting close to being ready so now its down to the smaller parts of the fit out that I haven’t already planned (OCD a bit so theres not much!)

Im still not sure where the best place to mount the henderson outrigger bases I have (also pictured)- on the side of cab or top of the cab? And in each location, what is the best direction/ angle to mount them? Keeping in mind the bar work thats already there etc 

I have some decent two peice outrigger poles and rigging gear so wouldnt be travelling with them installed much/ if at all 

Im aware that the type of base limits options a little, but these things only get used a few times a year in reality so wasn’t too keen on $1.5K+ for a decent set of telescopic type bases

Attached are a couple of pics of the layout for reference

Any input from game fishing gurus would be awesome and appreciated- PMs welcome!

Cheers!

 Hey everyone,

Has anyone fished here?

What can you expect to catch? What rigs and setups should I bring.

Tailor, and maybe Mulloway?

Cheers

Enjoy
