Hi fished Rompin, last july with my son. We had a great trip and the guy we dealt with was excellent, a Singaporean guy who was very organised. Check out my TA review http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attractions-g664083-Activities-Kuala_Rompin_Rompin_District_Pahang.html We'll def go again.

I tried a new way of cooking Dollie fillets the other day (for me anyway) and they came up a treat. Thanks to Neil Perry for this one,,,, These ingredient quantities were used on 2 x 70cm filleted dollies , so vary amount according to your fish size Dollie fillets are best cooked with skin ON, easier to cook and better for you. SIMPLE MARINADE: Zest a lemon (use a zester - not a grater) Zest a lime zest a clove of garlic or two if you can manage that without zesting your fingers.. chop a chillie 3 TBS of good olive oil Mix together and rub marinade over the fillets and leave for 20 mins (30 max, as Dollies have delicate flesh and even the zest will soften the fillets if left too long). Leaving the fish to marinade out of the fridge will bring your fish to room temp for cooking, Before cooking, sprinkle fillets with salt flakes. On a hot BBQ plate, cook SKIN DOWN for a couple of minutes, then SKIN UP for another couple. Vary times according to your fillet thickness. This worked a treat on Kingfish fillets too - even better actually. Bob

THANKS 'EmptyHooks' 2nd opinion appreciated, will rethink my needs. Figured 60 would be heaps, but maybe not eh..Am still coming to terms with the bung left out and bow in the air dragging a wakeboarder....

Thanks Huey for yr prompt response, I figured my burley trail would bring out some good advice. I was planning a run up the Hwy to check yr place out anyway, but will call first. I was thinking more of an unpainted no fuss hull like the seahorse model, no front windscreen, just the bare boat.

Hi to the Tinny Raiders out there.....hope you can give me some experienced advice?! Im a long time fisho, but a newbie on FR so here goes.. Im looking for my best option in a large tinny, say 4.8-5.2m range, a centre or side console, STACER or HORIZON, with either a Yamaha or Suzuki 60 4 stroke. My needs are 75% inshore (Lower Hawkesb, Pittwater, Syd Harbour) and 25% offshore (Palmy-Long Reef) with the occasional run out to the FADs in guaranteed good weather. I also want to whack a ski pole of some kind on there, for wakeboarding and keeping the older son interested and on the water (he hates fishing, can u believe!) In the past, I had a heavy horrible fibreglass cuddy, this time Im after a lightish, no-fuss open boat with room for casting lures, crab traps, transporting surfboards to Box Head ...abit of everything really, get the drift? My initial impression is that Stacer is more popular, but is that just due to better marketing I wonder? Horizon seems pretty tough and design seems fine, with plenty of options, but why arent there more of them out there? Is it just down to marketing? IF ANYONE'S HAD EXPERIENCE OF BOTH STACER AND HORIZON tinnies in the larger size range - Id be grateful for some pros and cons on both. Thanks.
