Re: Sounder advice please

I have the Lowrance Elite 7 Ti2 which has both sidescan and down imaging and i absolutely love it for the type of fishing i do which is in PPB in mostly less than 20m of water. While you can use sidescan to see fish i find it way more useful for searching for structure that might hold fish. And i ha...

Re: Savage Gear Swim Squid

Well i decided to go for a run down to BCF and pick some up before waiting for replies :tu: They were $5 each (or $2.50 each for the smaller ones that come in a twin pack), so i got 8 lures for of various sizes and colours for $25 which would normally be $75 worth of stuff. Ive certainly wasted a lo...

Re: Warmies Trash

People who leave their **** laying around is almost right up their with theives in my book. It is something i hate, whether i am fishing or camping or doing whatever else!

Re: Another local closes its doors..

I am also a big fan of Hook On in Hoppers Crossing, but as someone else said it can be hard when there is a BCF right across the road and Anaconda one block further up. I like to support the little guy as much as possible, but i am not made of money and quite often the prices offered at BCF and Anac...

Re: Boating newbie needs opinion on engine running

Just to backup up others. It sounds fine and the flow rate looks very good. As for how long, at my last service i had to have the thermostat replaced and i was told i was not flushing for long enough. I used to let it run for about 3 to 5mins but the mechanic said i need to let it run for 10mins to ...

Re: Anyone can tell me what these holes are for?

Anyone can tell me what these holes are for? When i returned to boat ramp the other day i was wondering why the bilge was full of water. Those holes on left and right go straight into the bilge. It was quite a choppy day and some water may have got in from outside. Are those holes supposed to be th...

Got my own boat by the time i was 21 etc etc. A couple of years ago i bought a tiller steer tinny, havi...

V Tackle in the west was selling them for around $230 each which I found pretty expensive though. Anyone know of anywhere else that sells the adjustable ones for a better price?
Whitworths $85 each
CH Smith $135 for the pair
