  1. thanks benstik- that helps heaps - i think i shall use this ramp now - where do we get the good fish? snapper and kings?? come on - give me those secret spots - i am there in february 1st week
  2. Where is the ramp at Woolimia? Is there a jetty? How far is it from hyams
  3. thanks heaps obey1. First time there- i hope it is worth me dragging my boat down there The ramp at the end of jervis bay road looks a bit short at low tide?
  4. hey all, i am heading down in Feb for my first time to Jervis Bay area for a holiday - staying at Hyams beach. I have been asked to bring my 5.6m stacer runabout down to try and fish / cruise the water ways there. Just wanted advise on where are good ramps to launch my boat in the vacinity of hyams beach? Any bays i can launch into off sand - as i have a 4wd? I know there are marine parks - i am just interested in good ramps to use all tides. I dont usually drive my boat on, i pull it up/winch it up. Thanks heaps
  5. oo nice thanks mike i am in a 560 stacer ocean master - blue canopy. might see you out there
  6. Ladies and gents After 7 weeks and boat on idle - no fishing, and since saturday is posing to be warm i am hitting the harbour (old mans hat, quarantine, colours etc) for a fish. Who has been out lately and can tell me sea temps inshore and offshore? I believe offshore should be around 19-20degress, but what is the approx temp up in middle harbour around clontarf? Any good spots producing fish?
  7. SNAP-ER your boat is like mine, bright as day in the night - but lets hope we dont get hit with a carbon tax for the amount of power we are using from the batteries
  8. hey guys, got back out onto the beautiful harbour early saturday for a fish. ended up with small flatties, snapper and bream - all released to live another 5 years till they are legal. Quarantine station was quiet - not a good bite except for one 35cm rock cod which we kept. Where have you all been going for a fish feed, and what bait you using? I invested in some GULP plastics, and will be trying outside next weekend hopefully for snapper etc. Any spots you can suggest except colours and long reef? I believe there is a reef about 2kms off north head? Any tips will be apprecaited Anth
  9. Hey guys, this winter that passed i was reluctant to fish n freeze, so i opted to finish house maintenance things etc to keep summer free to fish. I am thinking of hitting the harbour this saturday, starting off about 6-6:30am. Now where should i go? I am thinking of hitting quarantine head, old mans hat, and about 2 kms offshore at the little reef there. Not really targeting anything, but would like a feed. I will be armed with garfish, mullet, prawns, squid and pillies - plus yakkas with any luck. Your thoughts on where to go? Also, i have invested in two crab nets after all the fun i had with a mate at the entrance catching blue swimmers n mud crabs. Where would you place them in the harbour for around 3-4hours with a result? I ahve nice smelly bait for them your help is greatly appreciated.. if you are out saturday say gday, im in a stacer560.
  10. Hey guys going up to gold coast this weekend with a group of mates. Any one know of a fishing charter company that is - GOOD. Not one where you go catch flathead and bream. Is it GT season anywhere there? Help please
  11. it is only showing 70knotts.. i heard 300km per hour
  12. loco dave and deek gee talk about not being keen. Every year on australia day i am on the water by 5am, go for a 3 hour fish, then come back and get the misses and friends for a swim. Its only too busy if your lazy.. haha
  13. Weather man is frustrating me today for Australia day forecast. Showing a picture of rain with a lighting strike and grey cloud, then a sun behind it. Now that sounds like 4 seasons in one day to me. Then forecast reads, Becoming cloudy. The chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Light winds tending northeast to southeasterly up to 35 km/h during the afternoon. Now i understand around 3pm wind will change to southerly, and storm cell might hit. But becoming cloudy? From sunny, or overcast? Or average? I am deciding whether to hit the harbour on the boat with friends. Whos going and whos not? Who can read the weather better than me?
  14. myocard, sorry i disagree. How could you not fully insure a boat worth over $20,000? Sure enough, if i had a $4000 tinny not worth it, but $20,000 k for $450 a year cover, its insurance on your money. Not only for theft, what if you have an accident and your boat is totalled?
  15. empty hooks funny you should say that about agreed value and true value at a claim. Who is the insurance company to say your boat is not worth that amount? We can all go on boatsales and say, oh hey there is another stacer 560 for $18k, thats all yours is worth? Bull crap, each boat owner to themself know there boat has added value. like new electrical, lighting, baitboard, gps/sounders, steering,batteries, hatches, carpeting, engine, new canopy, boat covers???? These things do depreciate - sure, but i can look on boat sales, get the same boat as mine for $18-$20k with some solid negotiating, but i can guarantee, it will not come close to how modified my boat is to suit fishing / day out on the water. Thats what i ahte most, cars yeah fair enough, but boats, i am upto my second boat, and i tell you know after the $$$$ i spent to get my rig to how i want it, in the future if someone has done what i have to my boat, i will be more then happy to pay them a bit extra $$$ as i know DIY with new parts can cost thousands. PS - not having a go at you, but we can all hide behind a PDS that they know not many people will read but most importantly, UNDERSTAND it.
