  1. Hey Frank, GOOD hearing from you again old buddy. Hope all is well with you, tell Val I said hello Right you are in regards to the net. I've quickly gotten snippets for blue swimmer crab rules in NSW from DPI website to actually be helpful for anyone in the future who reads this. Thanks, I can confirm... they were delicious! Thanks Mrs Swordie, glad the site is still going strong...love ya work. Ps as I stated in the original post, this was a video from a fishing session a while back, 28th March 2019 to be exact haha. Thank You Thank You, Kind words are always appreciated by me.
  2. It's all there chief, don't you worry about me. Thanks for stopping by 👍
  3. Hello fellow Raiders, It is me... Ojay, I know I know... very long time between posts. Life has become very busy and I do not go out as much as I used to unfortunately. Seeing as I'm my biggest fan when it comes to my own YouTube videos, I recently made one to try remember my glory days of having more time and actually being able to take my boat out for a fish. Hope someone out will enjoy the vid, or at least entertain them for a couple of minutes. CLICK HERE -> Crabbing in Port Stephens Thanks, Ojay
  4. Hey Frank, Yeah Im still around, unfortunately I have nothing to contribute... I haven't even gone for a fish or taken the boat out since last year. Work has consumed me and I hate every minute of it haha. I should pop by some time and say hello, its been a while.
  5. Thanks for organising today's meet, I'll have to give this one a miss as the crew and I have opted to stay home and rest for tomorrow.... I'm hoping to head outside if weather permits. Keep us posted if anyone else is going out tomorrow to. Have fun tonight all those meeting up. Ojay
  6. I was told there were bigger versions of this... those models are all I'm having luck with hahaha
  7. Nice to meet y'all in person. See you in the morning!
  8. I'm locked in, will be based at soldiers point. Will meet up with the rest of you at little beach. For those who have a vhf or 27meg radio, should we organise a specific channel that we can all keep in contact with each other on the days were up there? I've only got a VHF and go by my boats name 'DONT PANIC' Cheers Ojay
  9. Yikes! Sorry, I got nothing of value for input... just surprised by that corrosion from 6 months... I assume you take care of your stuff? Freshwater rinse, inox spray etc?
  10. I used to tow my 4.5m formosa (braked trailer) with my 1991 Toyota corolla Seca around...fairly sure my boat is decently heavier than yours so you'll be fine. Don't expect to win any races though. Ramps are fine to as long as they are maintained. Put it in low gear to minimise wheelspin. Here's a vid to put your mind at ease. YOUTUBE VID
  11. Thanks, that has surprisingly reassured me. Feeling confident now the nut & bolt job should be fine Sweet as... I'm fairly sure this is the same path I will be taking. Also just 1 more question to anyone that knows but the new split cross bollard design had a clearly slightly raked back design and 1 side of the cross has these distinct raised edges.... indicating to.me it's supposed to be mounted in a specific way... does anyone know which ways supposed to face forward? For reference on my 3rd picture you can see the tapered edge on the horizontal part of the cross and in the 1st photo the bollard is leaning from right to left. Sorry for the tedious questions, I just don't want to mount it up on the day and turns out someone who actually knows the proper way to mount it later down the track informs me that its the wrong way around haha
  12. Thanks for the info and pics to visualise what i should do to. I want to go down the nut and bolt path and get a SS which can hold chain in between Thank you very much for the offer. After the whole burning paint and repainting after rewelding install, thats to much extra effort for my linking i think and i will try going down the nut and bolt path. I should have looked underneath as you suggested before buying hardware, the original is welded on so i have nothing to unbolt and will need to remount somewhere else or try figure out a way of getting around the cross member which is directly underneath the original bollards base plate. I went and got the split bollard like you as i to want to lock the chain when needed and seems like a nice upgrade to the standard aluminium alloy bollard which i had originally. i get my anchcor stuck quite often and with the amount of pressure i put on the original bollard at times, i am not surprised it finally gave way, so the SS cross bollard seems like a good upgrade, just still not to convinced about the nuts and bolts that will hold this in place... the gauge seems a bit to small however i guess they are more than adequate seeing as that's what the manufacturer intended. Thanks to everyone for their replies and suggestions, it certainly helped me out in deciding what i wanted to do, now comes the hard part of executing it.
  13. Hey Frank, thanks I just saw your messages recently, i just came from the local chandlery and bought some hardware, however i think there are some problems like usual with simple installs when it comes to me haha, when are you free? i tried calling you earlier on your mobile but went to voicemail. Let me know when you're next free and i'll swing the boat around and get your opinion on the matter. ps this is what i ended up getting ... just not sure now on the mounting of it as original location is in a terrible spot underneath with reinforcing cross members directly underneath where i would be drilling the hew holes to mount this bloody thing...
