  1. Good luck guys , hope you have great success. Love to see some photos.?
  2. I have bern using a handheld vhf for years offshore. Easy peasy.
  3. Fished coffs inshore up near split solitary thismorning . Alas no snapper. I did hook and land a hefty longtail which kept me busy for 15 mins so the day wasnt a total loss.☺
  4. Well done matey. Ive never caught a snapper. So tomorrow im going out and not coming home till i get one.
  5. Terrible place . No fish there. Best to go elsewhere ?

    Quintrex 420 Busta .Yamaha 40 fourstroke. .mmmmmmmm
  7. Fished the Kalang river on Saturday for 1 measly undersized bream .couldnt get a fresh mullet or nippers so had to use servo pillies and sp's. Mabye it was the full moon ? Have never had much luck in that river over the years though. Wil try south west rocks next outing.
  8. A 14 footer with a 30 on the back will do almost anything using a bit of commonsense. Light to tow and push around , skinny water deep water , no worries. Heaps on the market . Ive got a quintrex busta 420 ( my second , shouldnt have sold the first one) Best boat ever ! Go a four stroke if you can .quite and not smelly.

    Fuel lines

    Hi Raiders Im going to move my 25 lt fuel tank forward so it sits just aft of the front thwart . (Shes a bit stern heavy at slow speeds.) Can anyone see a problem with having to extend the fuel line by 2 metres more.?? Cheers all.

    Nice.! A serious boat indeed.?
  12. Alloy ' Alloy ' Alloy .its the future and the answer .
  13. Thanks everyone. Have gone to manual settings and all went well today. I also realised that i had downscan frequency set on 455 khz not 800 khz although not sure if that would cause my problem. Bonus today was catching 8 nice bream . Nup. Really shallow readings. I just read somewhere that i should take it off the auto sensitivity setting so will try that next time im out.
  14. Go alloy if you can. Brst move i ever made.

  16. I have a lowrance elite 7 hook with chirp that works pretty well although lately it has been losing the depth reading at speed, which doesnt worry me too much , however when i slow down it gives me ridiculous readings which does worry me. As well , when this happens i dont get the sonar picture back. Any ideas ? Cheers Brian.
  17. Bought a Nirey 198 electric sharpener the other day after many attempts with stones . So simple to use and gives a brilliant edge. Cost was $200 from the kitchen shop. Do yourself a favor. These units are great and worth the bucks.?
  18. Looks great without the rails . What do you need them for anyway. Goid decision i reckon
  19. Thinking of gettong one myself would you recomend this motor ?Cheers
  20. Im taking the tinny for a fish at Macksville later this week. After flatties or bream / jacks . Has anyone fished here lately and want to help with some spots o should concentratr on .
  21. Super cumfy. I used to have these on my renegade 460. I ended up buying a plastic padded seatand swivel base from motackle on coffs harbour. (worlds largest fishing store 2 mins from my place ). Have carpeted the bench seats to cut down on glare and provide non slip. New lowrance hook 7 installed. All ready to go now.?.hows yours coming along ?
  22. Great idea. I will be doing the same to my new Busta . I beleive acetone is good to clean the alloy before glueing.?
  23. Great idea !! Looks solid as !
