    Thanks hooked4life i was stoked with my first Jew, at least it was leagel size. Yes the crashpad is great but a bit thirsty on fuel, twin 165hp to keep the crashpad moving, 40L/hour @ 20knots but great to have a bit of space. Its a Bertram 25 Corsair, not the fly bridge. Cheers

    Hi All, Hit the water for new years eve, decided to bring the rods as the and i were staying on the boat for a few days after new years and what a good idea that was. We dropped anchor between Fort Denison and the Zoo about 7.30pm and had a few My mate Neil decided to wet a line and in went the bait jig, one baby snapper and then a livie ..... yee haa I grabbed the Penn 850 and attached the leader, Neil attached the sinker and on went the livie and sent him down to 800mm off the bottom. About 40 mins later i am checking the line and the livie was still going strong .......... 5 mins later Neil yells "the rod" and i grab it and we call it as a Jewie, a few runs and he was boated. Here are the details: My first Jew 65cm Caught on a livie 30 mins after sunset Was verry nice with some lemon, garlic and butter
  11. Hi all, Went for a lazy afternoon fish at Cockatoo island and to my surprise i landed a rat king on a pillie. I caught a 40cm plus Trevor there a few weeks ago and that got me thinking maybe i could get a king and today i did, although it was a rat i was happy to see them so far this side of the bridge. Good news for me because it is only 10mins from my mooring on my way to the main harbour, looks like i will be fishing there on my way home each time Sorry no pic, cant find the cable for my phone Cheers Ben
  12. Great catch and it sounds like you had a great day on the water Cheers
  13. mmmmm tackle room, will have to put that in the plans for the reno on the house. Nice outfits
  14. Was fishing from the boat with no weight and i am a bit of a lazy fisherman to tell you the truth and just drop it straight down ..... or float down the burley trail in this case. My rods spend most of there time in the back of my ute so that will give you some idea of how much care i take of them ....... want to chase some YFT and kings this summer so i better get serious and rig up the new TLD25
  15. Very true Baz good eyes, i was counting on not catching a king or a jew
