  1. No idea about the Pathfinder and can only say I have not had any issues with a Forester (petrol) version
  2. Don't suppose you have seen a white 435 Brooker Getabout in the same area?

    Tow Car

    Hey Squidboy, I had a 4.35 Brooker and use to tow it behind a AH Astra 1.8L. I now have a 2.5 XT just like yours and am looking at buying a tinny upto 5 metres. I would be interested in knowing how your Foz tows your boat when you get it. Best of luck Jase
  4. I am sure Elwood Blues & I will be there..... I am not allowed to go by myself anymore as I usually end up throwing a tantrum cause I want all the boats and get removed by security. The missus refuses to take me.... God I can't wait to get another boat
  5. Thanks Raiders, I appreciate the comments, and can only hope that these dropkicks are caught before they get to anyone elses boat. These guys are quiet, they removed it from a quiet dead end st, neighbours didn't hear a thing. If I ever get to replace it one day, I will ramset the boat into the driveway, behind a barricade, fit a motion alarm, electrify the tow bar and weld up a spike strip in front of it... That might slow these ba$tards down a bit. At least I know these scumbags are not fisho's! There is no way a true fisho could ever commit such a low act, in particular at the beginning of what should hopefully be a great 2011 Kingy season. Thanks for keeping an eye out Jason
  6. Dear fellow Raiders, I just thought I would share a quick rant and vent session on the above topic. Some worthless waste of humanity has decided that they needed to steal my tinny, obviously because these human rejects are too useless and lazy to get off their backsides and actually do an honest day's work. I really do hope I run into these useless excrement eaters in the near future, so that I may inpart to them the moral benefits of being a hard working member of society.. . Anyway guys. The details of my boat are: Brooker 4.35 Getabout White with a blue bimini - rego IDR094N Brooker trailer - rego U-85720 Suzuki 40 2 stroke on the back. I have added a pic of the boat just in case, the pic is old now, the boat has a small rocket launcher attached to the bimini and fish finder etc. The boat also has some distinctive marks that will be impossible to cover up. I imagine it is sitting in someone's shed or on it's way to qld by now.. It was stolen between 5pm Sunday 26th and 3pm Monday 27th from Croydon inner west area. If you do see the A holes with the boat... Please let me or the cops know. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak to these turds. Cheers and please keep your boats safe!. Jase

  8. Hey Raiders. Just a quick report to share one of the greatest experiences of my life..thinking about it, it does not say a lot for me... I was lucky enough to accompany Dave (Elwood Blues) on a trip to Port Mac last weekend to test out some new gear. We arrive at our mate's place for the obligatory meet & greet catch up, checking our watches and staring at the water in the canal behind his house. With true kindness our mate could see our pain, he let us head straight to the water with four new rods between us. One of the set ups I had taken included a Sedona 1000 and 1-3 Sic stick, which I was desperate to test......I tie on the leader, tie on a orange big eye blade and sailed out my first cast. For a pretty basic combo I was really impressed by how smoothly the line peeled off the spool.. I clicked over the bail arm very pleased with my purchase, you could feel the vibration of the blade through the rod tip. THEN SMACK, the rod loads up, a couple of short runs and boom lands a legal flattie. To say I was stoked would be a massive understatement, the first time I have blooded a new combo on the first cast "awesome". The rest of weekend went well except the baby flatties that were in plague proportions, we couldn't keep them off our lines. I ended the weekend watching a bloke in the canal score a huge taylor on a popper & I had a great fight with my PB Trevally who measured in at 43cm.. That little combo & and blade is quickly becoming my new favourite outfit hehe, Cheers for reading my incoherent ravings & hope you have good luck this weekend. Dave thanks againg for a top weekend mate. Great fishing, plenty of bacon for brekky & top company ...does it get any better than that! Jase
  9. Hey Reggie, Good to hear from you mate, hope your doing well. I am very excited about the trip & every website of Vanuatu fishing I see if driving me nuts haha. We are looking at a place just five minutes out of Port Villa, so I will chase you up later next week buddy. I have to send you some pic's of the mods Elwood Blues & I made to the Brooker, taking out that back seat made a heap of room. Best regards mate Catch you soon. Jase
  10. Brillant. Thanks for the info mate, will pack the err imodium?? haha, Hell I am so desperate for a good fish, i need a fix! Thanks again John. Jase
  11. HAHAHAHA Since when did you require a damn invitation mate! 9th Sept Dave book your time off, I hear it is Marlin season??? don't know if that is true A nice Marlin would ensure the safety of my sanity (from the inlaws HAHA)
  12. At least you were on the water & having fun mate. Good report & cheers for Maritime info Jase
  13. Hey All, Scored a bonus from the missus for putting up with her lovely family (wonderful people). A quick trip to Vanuatu is on the cards mid next month, my bonus is an uninterrupted fishing charter while we are there. I know there have been mentions of Vanuatu trips on the site before & was hoping if anyone had recommendations they might pass them on? I still have to sort out the accommodation too, so any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Jase
  14. Wow good question.. Three spring to mind. 1, My first legal Jewie in the Georges river. (peeled prawn on very light spin gear)... now to crack the magic 100cm. 2, My longest fish, a lovely Fijian Barracuda, caught just off the island they filmed "Castaway" on. (hard body diver) 3, I guess the best catches of all, happen when you put a kid onto their first fish.. Makes me smile everytime! Have a good one Raiders. Jase
  15. Hey, Hope your daughter has a great day with heaps of fish. My suggestions would be Narabeen lakes if you can get to it, found an area near "woolies" bridge? south of the pool. There was plenty of parking & right next to the water. Lots of sand, shallow edges & fish.. Flatties, bream, whiting. Balls head (maybe not for kids?) Lavender Bay? Clifton Gardens? around Spit Bridge? I am sure the Raiders will have tons of places for you to try. Have fun.
  16. Fantastic effort mate. Well done Jas
  17. Thanks Bubba I will give it a go. Jas
  18. Hi All, Having a big clean out of the tinny this weekend & I noticed some of the lifejackets ( just the standard big blocky PFD's) There appears to be like a dirt residue which my mate informed me might be mould. I am just wondering is there a preferred method to cleaning lifejackets without damaging them? Obviously, I could just spray on some mould killer but not sure if that would bleach them or breakdown the material? Is washing with soapy water an alternative?? Thanks in advance Jason
  19. Hey, Where abouts were you fishing? Some mates brought in some very nice whiting off the sand just down from Tom Ugly's. Bait was bits of prawn & sand worms. Might be worth giving a try... not to far from the boat ramp. Cheers & good luck Jason
  20. Hi Mate, I would jump at the chance but have booked in the Saturday to make some much needed alterations to my boat. Not sure if you would be up for a run on Sunday? Cheers Jas
  21. Hell mate, There are not enough foul words in the world to describe these mongrels. First, I hope you get your boat back she is a stunner. Secondly, I hope these #*@^'s find themselves in a world of hurt.. perhaps if found you should take them "fishing"
