ive got body bags.... maybe ill carry one for that 150kg tuna when it shows up!

rarely fish for tuna from my boat and if I was and got 1 over a meter id be racing to shore to show it off! mostly will be used for snapper, flatties and kings.. Thanks

what size did you go?? Im thinking the 1m would be big enough, 1.5m is fairly big.

Anyone using these? Always get the shits with the esky in the way in the boat whereas these could get thrown anywhere, up in cabin or under v berth, bendable and squashable to get them out of the cockpit. How well do they keep Ice? Are there other brands around? The ****************** are designed to store your fish catch in a hygienic environment ensuring fresher, long lasting fish.

I don't think it will be flash unfortunately Give them a call and check they were not flooded? As for crookhaven follow Zacnoels advice on that area, When you head over to husky, as he said the eastern edge of the basin you can wade through the water and scoop them.. Years ago we also used to go up Currembean creek in the boat of a night and scoop them up using lights and nets.

We need a like button on posts!

Good to hear, I have a noisey line bearing on a stradic 4000 I was thinking of fixing myself, maybe its worth the postage to send it down..

Have not used it, but there is a new simrad that probably fits the bill, I use a bigger model but the budget model might be ok!

crookhaven is a bit away from the bay, where are you staying?

My dad is at Sussex but house is surrounded but clear of water at this stage, unbelievable amount of water! Ill try and get some pics off my phone

i think there was 1000 in travel cover and them rear curtain so if you only wated the bimini launcher and from clear $1500 wold easily cover it. I needed the travel cover cause of the miles i tow boat, and the curtain provides security for overnight stays. As i said, im wrapped with it and if you want to talk to the guys who did mine look for someone who does "mobile" boat covers

Depending on what nexus you have? I have a Nereus 1000 (its probably 5yr old now) and also a 1000 sienna and the nereus is a much smoother reel. I have had no issues with it myself. its possible that some water has gotten in? When you say its not smooth what exactly do you mean? the drag or when you wind the reel? It may be worth sending it back to the factory if its only a few months old. I have a few of the Viva reels including the nereus, some browning baitrunners, a Nereus baitrunner two metaliums and some of the new crusis range. While not in league of the high end shimano stuff its also a lot cheaper.

Description The fish catching ability of the Jig-Em rig is widely known amongst the fishing community and has claimed fish such as flathead, dolphin fish, Coral trout, Mackerel, Salmon and many other species. Jig-em rigs come rigged with 3 baits, hooks and trace... ready to be tied to your main line & fished! The variety of colours results in a versatile range of lures that are suitable for most species in salt and fresh water. Due to the versatility of the range they can be fished in numerous ways in unlimited conditions. The classic way of fishing the Jig-Em rigs was to attach a snapper sinker and let the rig drop to the bottom, once on the bottom use a jerking action to give the lures action. However with the introduction of soft baits such as prawn, stick bait and shad the Jig-Em Rigs can be fished mid water, slow trolled or even retrieved slowly along the bottom. Available in 7 colours, in 9cm or 13cm versions.

Was there more of them? Think I need some too!
