G'day My biggest piece of advice is get a worm farm. Since I've started pouring worm juice on my garden weekly, my chillies, and the rest of my veggies are going great. Also once your chillis start fruiting cut down the water and you trick the plant into growing more seeds, as they think they are going to starve. Cheers Leo

G'day Steve Apparently it's on a pro boat Cheers Leo

G'day, I've only fished landbased around the pier in Lucinda. But have caught legal grunter(javelin fish), a 4 kg butter bream, wolf herring, and a few unstopables. A good place for bait is around the sugar pier with the cast net, or around smaller creeks at low tide. Buy some crab pots also, plenty of muddies in the hinchinbrook channel, look for creeks and run offs feeding into main channel in the mangroves. The fishing up there is unbelievable, just focus around the tide changes. Also if you're there around the full moon the prawns should be running. Or black moon the fingermark will be on the shallow reefs, fresh squid for bait. Cheers Leo

He's got reflexes like a cat. I wish I could move that quick Cheers Leo

From memory 3-4/0s on 10 and 20 footers and 6/0s on 30 footers. Maybe a slight decrease on hookups but then again I can't remember pulling hooks once since switching. Except one trevally that was only lightly hooked on a tiny (too small) hook that was more intended for a bream. I'm so happy with them I've upgraded everything from bream gear and blades right up to the game lures. Its so much easier setting one hook than 3. And dehooking is also a breeze. Cheers Leo

G'day I use decoy sergeants. Cheers Leo

G'day I've used them on offshore flathead for a while, and are now my go to hooks Cheers Leo

G'dayI've got a side loader and can honestly say I wouldn't be able to load the yak solo without it due to a bad back. Cheers Leo

G'day the marlin should be showing up around cape bowling green south of Townsville around then. Mostly juveniles to 10-15kgs. But good fun on light gear. If your keen for night fishing the fingermark will be around the headlands. The best bait being live squid which you can catch with small jigs 1.8-2, in the lights from the boat or even better a light in the water. Not to mention coral trout if your willing to make the run out to the reef. And as always mud crabs in the creeks. Cheers Leo

Yeah being a contortionist would definitely help. Cheers Leo

Oh and to route the cables I made a grommet out of sikaflex I pretty much laid a big glob around the cable and after it had skinned over, half an hour or so I shaped it with wet fingers. I had to cover a 20mm hole for the plug, and didn't think silicone had enough strength to hold it. Let me know if you want pictures. Cheers Leo

G'day. I mounted my tranny just about under my seat in the keel, and it has worked fine. I was thinking that there would rarely be any air that far under the yak. I mounted mine with sellys all clear that I left in a tub of hot water to 10 mins, to make it runnier, which helps to encourage any air bubbles to float to the surface, and keep the nozzle of the silicone the head of the tube submerged in the glob and you shouldn't get any bubbles. To prep before gluing I gave the position where I was mounting a sand with some 80grit sandpaper, and cleaned it well with metho. After you glue it don't touch the kayak for at least a week as silicone takes that long to fully harden when it's in a big glob, I had a mate that left it for 3 days and the silicone and tranny peeled off after about a month and we had to redo it. Hope this helps. Cheers Leo

G'day I don't think it would be. I've got a dsi model and it runs on 455/800 hertz instead of the traditional 80/200 Cheers Leo

G'day mate Great to see, keep up the good work Cheers Leo

If you add bait you can only have 3 hooks Cheers Leo

G'day I've fished of the ferry wharf a few years ago with butterfied yakkas for not a touch, but got a few bream on prawns. Personally I wouldn't eat a thing from there. Cheers Leo

G'day I've upgraded my hooks from trebles to inline singles (the eyes parallel to the hook) on all my lures and have definitely had an increased hookup rate. But the biggest plus is hook removal from undersized or fish I intend to release. Cheers Leo

I think you will find it's arsenic and tin they use to give them higher tensile strength. Cheers Leo

G'day Should be fine, I read an article somewhere that the heat of cooking kills nearly every parasite in fish as they can't handle temperature changes as much as us land dwelling folk Cheers Leo

G'day No problems casting with that reel, you will learn him much to thumb the spool with practice, I think wearing gloves you wouldn't have enough sensitivity. Cheers Leo

G'day Most fish will feed up before and after a storm and seek cover during. They have the weather forecasts worked out better than us so it's definitely worth a shot. Cheers Leo

G'day You can get livies around balmoral wharf/swimming enclosure. I got a few yakkas last week, but plenty of sweep in between Cheers Leo

G'day I've got a miah epoch x8hp and it's great. It has the jigging function but we haven't had any success with jigging so far. But it's a great reel and had no problems pulling up a double header of blue eye. Cheers Leo

G'day I've heard that some Fluro leaders aren't suitable with blood knots due to the fact they are smoother than mono, try a rapala or polmar knot. All I can think of. Cheers Leo

Every time I've been to Oberon I've caught a few Redfin. Cheers Leo
