Looking for a fishing buddy, should anybody be wanting to go out fishing and does not have anybody to go with, drop me a line. I launch from Balmain whenever I get the chance.

Let it sit about 10min then rinse off

What colour you looking for

Hi all. Checked search but couldn't locate anything in direct response or otherwise fairly old. Just wondering how to go about selecting 3dss vs 3in1 for those who ideally have used both, but either/or would undoubtedly shed some light. What I have been told is 3in1 will provide better picture but shorter range, whereas 3d has longer range I think 800khz v 455khz. Obviously 3in1 doesn't have 3d, but both have side and down imaging The questions arising from this include (but certainly not limited to) What kind of depths in reality are we talking about effectiveness and usability with each unit What kind of distance to the sides Are fish able to be identified on either How useful is the 3d and in what circumstances while fishing If you are looking at a wreck just as an example, would both not show where it is in relation to boat, its orientation etc... just trying to understand the fundamental benefits or use cases one has over the other What kind of criteria should be used in deciding between the two

Yeh I try stay a little loose otherwise becomes tedious to maintain. So long as types are together like sinking stick baits, shallow and deep divers that's alright. I guess from there you can easily extract any type for any fish for a day trip etc

Yeah 100% trick is to avoid any temp extremes either way. I am lucky in that while in storage its shaded and there is good general ventilation etc

Depends what's being targeted and what action there is I guess, but agree in principle. That is the reason I might just keep a few trays on the boat one for a different species at any time, keep what I like and discard what I don't. Then rotate lures every few sessions and repeat.

Thanks for that. You have a benefit of having trailer boat, in that you can keep everything in garage and just stock what you need and drive off. Having boat stored means more lugging around and becomes impractical and a pain. So I'd rather have a selection permanently on boat for sure, but just trying to figure out a system. I want to rotate use of different lures rather than letting them get dust in a cupboard, but at same time don't want to store loads on the boat or lug too much around and force myself to different lures and techniques, rather than spending half my time deciding what to throw out next

Yeh fair enough. All my fishing is from boat and not limited to 1 or 2 species, so have a lot of variety. That's why was thinking of keeping broad handful selection permanently on boat divided by species. Then have all else at home by type, that I just take whatever may be relevant for a given day. That way more space on boat and less clutter on mind. Still trying to work out best solution.

Yeh but how many containers? Do you sort by style I.e surface, sinking etc or by species or otherwise? Do you take all your lures to the boat or only what you think you'll need? It's never a problem if all fit in a handful of containers, but when too many to practically store etc then...

Yeah I learned that lesson the hard way. My plastics live on the boat, my post related mainly to hard bodies. I keep plastics organised together in some fashion or another, but all remain in their original packs, except for the gulp variety i put in those special made plano tubs full of liquid and put a mix in there.

I know this is an age old discussion and have checked these forums too. The issue of too many lures and how to sort them out. For any boat owners who have way too many lures, what is your organisation and storage solution? I currently take everything and leave it on the boat, but find it leads to paralysis as to what to use, or too many to try out etc. Boat is not trailered its in dry docks. Was thinking of leaving a handful of plano 3700s on boat permanently as a broad selection of lures divided by species. Leave the bulk at home divided by type and then just take what I think will be useful on a trip by trip basis to supplement and have only a manageable amount. It sounds like it would free up storage and declutter every compartment I have while still being practical. Thoughts?

Maybe an odd query but has anybody tried mounting an action style type camera to their remote controlled search light for panning functionality? If so how did you do it?

Just a follow up... anybody got any recommendations on one 12inc vs two 9inch displays... preferences? Pros /cons?

Can I just ask if anybody knows Re simrad ducers. As I understand it the 3 in 1 does Sid and down scan and 2d sonar. The 3d structure scan does 3d and down and side scan like the 3 in 1 but doesn't have 2d. So ultimately by Pairing the 3d and airmar tm275lhw I'm not missing anything at all and have no need for 5100 module as structure scan is via Ethernet?
