Yeah believe I would have never believed it until I actually saw it! I will try get a pic and post it up. It was a King George Whiting from Victoria.

Hey Raiders, Not the most interesting report but I finally broke the drought with a fish. Fished the run in tide for a few hours with nothing but little bites. Had several small rods and a surf rod loaded with a whole heap of worms on a 6/0 ambitious for a jew. Nothing was happening so we decided to pack up when the baitrunner went off . . . . . . strike and ended up with this whiting. Caught a few more after that then decided to leave as the 7 degree weather and high winds was too much to bear. BTW prior to fishing tonight my bait shop guy showed me a 96cm KG whiting !!! I couldn't believe my eyes!! Tight lines!

legal size snapper in the harbour gotta be happy with that mate! good luck with the kings on your next trip!

Wow congrats on the fish! Must be a million dollar lure!

lol.. they actually do use those in fiji slightly bigger and a lot better constructed. They look like a lot of fun to drive.

Hey Pete, I use to use the same concept but a whole lot smaller(20-25L) as a portable live bait bucket on the rocks. What I found use to happen is that even if placed on a flat surface sometimes after a while the bag would just collapse on the edges and you'd have like half a bag of water left. The one's you have look a lot better constructed but it was the same concept. So maybe try it out first for practicality before you actually purchase too many of them. Cheers,

Would love to come down Huey but unfortunately I am yet to get a tow bar put on and still am not confident driving yet(almost got stuck at a car wash around a tight corner with my uncle's car). So it looks like I'm just going to have to find a mobile mechanic in the mean time but I will definately be coming down in the future as I am yet to find any one as knowledgable as you. Thanks again for all your help, Revs went up to 5000 with the beeping and yes after turning the motor off and back on it still was beeping. I am booking a mechanic soon so hopefully there will be good news. BTW nice boat tiger!

Hey Huey, You read my mind I have heard so many bad stories about marine mechanics not completely knowing what they're doing and they end up having more problems with there motors. If only you were closer..! If any one has any suggestions please pm me. In regards to the model number I got it from the metal plate on the outboard and it also has it written down in the book as can be seen below. Model: BJ 50VL31B Serial: G 049669186 Is there somewhere else that I get the model from?

Finally got my boat and just thought I'll post a few pics up of it. We took her for a test run today and I kept hearing this beeping sound and the no oil light was flashing. The oil was just below half. I'm going to get the boat serviced but do you think that it caused any damage?

Looks like a great feed mate! And finally we get to see a dory post.. I'm sure it will make a lovely meal.

Hey fellas, I was just wondering who are you insured through and how much are you roughly paying per year?

Hey Reece, I know it may not be the best place in the world to fish for kings but I have seen a few caught at greenwich sailing club during the summer. Very comfortable place to fish as well so give it a shot when the season starts. BTW I have only seen them caught early morning. Anyways good luck!

You could just imagine what would dare have a go at that thing! . . . . " z z z Z Z Z z z z z " Nice catch mate!

Hi, it was a private sale. It's just that it seems a little weird that the motor on the back is a 2000 model, I just don't understand why that would be because according to the seller it was sold as a new package.(he was second owner) Now I'm thinking if I were to buy a new package shouldn't I be getting the same year model motor and boat!?!? Whoa! 16 years? that's excellent. How'd you do that? Regular servicing? Wd-40 after use? The reason why I said I'm also thinking about re-sale is because I plan to keep the boat for a long time(approx 5 years) and by then the motor will be over 10 years old. And general rule of thumb with cars once anything is 10 years old it pretty much becomes worthless. Is this the same with boats? Cheers,
