numbnuts

The small Jewies are thick at the moment. Caught 23 in a session , all between 60 - 65cm. All released unharmed . Good fun on light gear but could do with some larger models .

Thanks boattart ill pm you

It's more like it wants to turn when I push the button and it starts to but then changes it's mind and does nothing .

Go into the gps set up and see if it is using the same coordinate type eg. Deg min sec. Or use the coordinate converter table on this site , may be of some help

I have the 70 dv Used it for the first time today in partnership with my old Garmin 178c . I was very impressed with it .

Hi guys , went out on the water today only to find out that the I- pilot would not respond to "turn" commands . It would only move a few centimetres in either direction and stop. It was not stuck and the prop responds to commands and all batteries are new and charged . Has anyone had a similar issue ? Very frustrating

Thanks guys much appreciated

Hi guys I have a Soron 4000 that has a sticking drag . I have not been able to get access to the washers and don't want to damage the spool getting them out. Does anyone know how to get at them? Can't see any circlip either.

thanks ill keep it in mind

Hi guys , I'm looking to buy a new sounder with side scan and down scan capabilities. Budget is around $2000 / $2400 . I am leaning towards humminbird 1199 price permitting or 899si but I do like the Garmin units but need to buy the "black box" to get it to going. Lowrance units I have had trouble with in the past but the HDS 8 looks good. Who has used these units and what are your thoughts both + and - ?

Thanks Mack attack, very useful info. I heard from one of the pros that the bream have moved out to spawn now so they will be scarce and in poor shape when they do return none the less I will give it a crack and see what happens, got to be better than working anyway.

Hi guys, I have managed to scam an extra day off on Tuesday and would like to have a crack at fishing Pittwater. Problem is I dont know the area but have heard lots of comments about "the supermarket" cant find it on any maps.Can any one give me a tip on where it is and how to fish it? Thanx in advance.

The fish busting up near the harbour bridge were rat kings.A few guys were tossing flies at them as well but they were not really in the mood to play.

Also consider the SAMAKI Skitch. brilliant rod!!!

Hi guys , I want to buy a Minn Kota I-pilot to suit my boat.I have a 4.80m Allycraft c/c Reef Raider which I mainly use in the Hawkesbury. I have been told by some that because of the weight and high sides of this hull that I will need to get the 80lb thrust/24volt electric.This has the disadvantage of 2x heavy batteries and extra big $$$$.Others say that I can get away with the 55lb thrust/12volt unit.I just want to be sure that if I go with the 55 it wont be overworked and a battery killer. Does anyone have a similar size boat with an electric? If so ,have you been happy with the performance or had any problems? thank you in advance.
