few extra tips live bait tank on port side (passenger side) to counter weight of driver/clear transducer hose in should be at top to and driping to create airbubbles when it hits water so drain outlet should be lower then the intake clear lid so u can see if anything is wrong inside eg squid caught in outlet ect personally i wouldnt have a external livebait tank due to live bait Yakkas are hard to hold on to unless u use a net u will loose a few trying to get them out, as they are slipery and have seen many people drop livies over the side. get a pick up fo underside of the bilge will keep water fresh when on the move put a tap valve on the inlet hope these tips help Cheers Andrew

well done mike thats a great effort on the cheaper reel great to see u out on fishbones again after all the hard work was that its maiden trip? hope all is good spewn i didnt get down to see it in the flesh dam work!!! catch up soon mate!!

i think it was a dumping ground more then a purpose made reef but its near the stone wall as u enter SWA on the right about 200m south of the old wreck boat shed thats rotting away.. ps i have gotten some good 1kg+ squid from around there

i have one for sale second hand i'll pm u more details

one word.... crazy!! love it most people struggle to land a marlin with 2 or 3 deck hands love how u just wind in other rod casually as the harness holds your reel screeming away...

well done dan hopefully we can get out sat to crack that kingy u been waiting for haha i'll buz u friday!!

haha must say it has something to do with good squid jig chioce as my mate had my favourite colour on and i had a new one i just wanted to try out and my favourite yamma caught 4 to my 1 anyways i'll try post up some more pics after i go out later this week mate just got 2 over 90cm 2day so they still around.

hay guys havnt posted in a while even though i have been out alot with mixed results took a few snaps so thought id share with u guys started out sat at 5am of port bagged out on squid which has been the same over the last month usually get about 10 for kings few for the plate... there were about 10 boats out gathering squid didnt see anyone pull any in? dont know why people anchor for squid as they move around... anyway had a mate from work who i pumped up for his first king who had already outdone me on the squid 12-3 seems to always happen with the newbies, he was already having a ball catching squid another first for him.. we took of as the crowd grew set of for some outside reefs as i knew for sure we'd get some kings... scored about 5 rats 60-65cm all throw backs every pass, had downrigger set up out and poor mans was a little sloppy so i steered as he was picked up all the fish we lost about 10 baits and decided to head inside for some more action as i had been gettin a few solid kings previous week inside first pass inside hook a decent fish went 83 on lie detecter shortly followed by 75cm... mate lost 3 fish that he couldnt stop with stela locked up.. seen one missed the net as he was really strugglin with it and took last dive around moored boat was a solid fish around 10kg?... with my mate happy with a feed of squid and kings we set of home around lunch.. much the same on sunday tryed with plastics but no luck had a follower few on squid again not much size was kind of hoping for the larger ones to show again as i had my xzoga stella 80lb braid combo ready but they live another day sorry for the bad grama tired as i have been doin night shift..
