top setup. The only thing I would probably do is put a 90deg bend on the inlet hose so the water has a circular motion. Livies love it.

Can be used with all types of anchors. Biggest factor is the actual size of your buoy that you use and the size of the ring. The buoy must be heavy enough to hold your anchor and chain. The ring must be big enough to slide over our shackles at least. I don't like using the clips. Good in theory but in practice they are a pain in the butt.

You must be one of the lucky ones mate. All the johnsons I had clapped out well within 12 months

Have you checked if its picked up a bit of crap that could be causing it to be noisy? Rule are the best pumps IMO.

Agreed. Catching squire when you know the big boys are down there gets the stress levels up a bit.

Still will get floaters down when current is running. Regularly floatline in depths of 100m. What ever works for you I suppose.........

Forget the paternoster IMO , you'll catch squat. 1st option would be to anchor up near a pinacle or bomby and berly like mad. Then float some baits down, using as little weight as you can to get the bait down. 2nd option would be to drift the area, again floatlining your baits down the water column.

The entrance has closed up totally a couple of times actually. If left eventually it would open up, most likely during a storm with a flood.

Micks still chuggin along, get emails from him regularly.

Top fish mate. You also forgot to add, and bigger than Heaths, Andy's, Lance's, JB's, Robs & Willo's best as well We've all got some catching up to do now Makes the 15lber we got on the weekend look small at that size. Willo will be spewin

From the local tackle shop mate at Tweed Heads. I have seen these types of holder systems in many a tackle shop. Particularly the bigger shops.

He has a bit of foam up the front as well to protect the tips. The system works very well, should see the hardware he carries in there now. Worth more than his boat..LOL

This is a pic of my mates boat. A 4.2 Dory. His system works well.

What model baitrunners? A , B or Triton Sea Spin ?? I've got several BTR6500's and the youngest an "A" model is by far the worst for maintenance. Give me an old Triton Sea Spin anyday. The roller runs on a bush & thats half its problem. If you keep them lubed, that is with a bit of grease they are fine, I don't use mine on the beach however. Once you throw sand in the mix your just asking for trouble no matter the reel IMO.

C'mon you blokes!!! As responsible holders of a NSW recreational fishing permit, you would have gotten a letter with a copy of the new size limits and bag limits. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZSCHNAFFFLECKKKKKKKKKCHCCHHCH Oh whats that! Damn, I just woke up! Rest assured they'll sting you if they catch ya' With their highly publicised media campagn, they would have reached hundreds of thousands licence holders, wouldn't they.......
