Re: battery questions for electric trolling motor

I run 125 amp hour deep cycle batteries for my 55lb bow mount.
Should get all day in most conditions.
I did have 2 batteries for trips away to make sure I had plenty.
If your planning on trolling all day with it you would be pushing the limits.

Re: Coral Bay 2016

Cheers all. 14 people in the group and fillets were evened out through all so everyone got a good pile to take home. 1st for me were the ruby red snapper and the big grey banded cod which are top shelf on the plate too. Cobia were thick as usual but were only kept a few. They go nuts when boated and...

Coral Bay 2016

Went back for the annual trip with the boys to travel 1400 km's north and get some warm weather and hot fishing action. 3 boats in tow and 8 days booked. The weather kept us down to 3 days to fish but we managed to make the most of them. 1 day in 60-80 mtrs 1 day in the 100's and 1 in the 340's resu...

Re: Is 20lb braid overkill for a 3-5kg rod?

Just need to remember that when the equipment is under stress the weakest point will break so if your line is way heavier than the gear, the gear m...

Re: WA Salmon

They head back there in summer. They migrate north with the winter currents. If you go there in winter they'll all be gone. But a top Mullaway spot on the beaches (all year) with plenty of 20kg models landed frequently. Hit up the rocks next to deep water all along the south coast for Big Snapper, Y...

Re: WA Salmon

Peak time is around Easter for planning trips. If you want to dodge the crowds then either before or after (depending on School Holidays). dunsborough/Yallingup would be the prime spots south as you can range day trips from there to chase them. Searching WA Forums will give you plenty of ideas. If y...
