  1. I cannot understand the people who want to release the forkys in NPD when you consider the damage to the fishery they cause, They have no natural predators in the dam,eat the fingerlings ad compete for the food chain in the dam.
  2. I run dura hubs so if an unlikely seal failure happens the leaked oil is easily visible. Apart from that I have a yearly birthday schedule I jack up the wheel and pull off drums to check brake linings and refresh the oil, change house smoke detector batterys , buy couple bottles of Buichladdich to last till xmas when I can get more to last till birthday.
  3. Adult golden perch can reach a maximum weight of 23 kilograms and 76 centimetres in length, however, they are most commonly caught under 5 kilograms and 40-50 centimetres in length.Adult golden perch can reach a maximum weight of 23 kilograms and 76 centimetres in length, however, they are most commonly caught under 5 kilograms and 40-50 centimetres in length. I personally Have not seen many over 60cm in npd as they get older they just get rounder the larger ones seem to come from southern states, the growing conditions must suit them more.
  4. I run both motors at 9.9 if you use 10 it bypasses the maximiser the lower setting make no difference to top speed.
  5. Thanks Brian Rick and I will fix it tomorrow. Cheers Ray
  6. Good day at NPD today with Rick and Neil Had to work a bit harder than last trip ending up with 99 bass,couple of good yellas and one lone forky. Would have caught a lot more but Neil wished to tag some bass. He was not up to the task at one stage he had 4 fish queued up in the landing net so Rick and I had to stop while he caught up. Best bass was around 47cm and Neils yella went a respectable 61cm and Ricks only 56cm Bit of a drama on the way home as axle on trailer slipped backwards and jammed the tyre into the mudguard so the boat came home on the back of a tilt tray so looks like I have a project tomorrow.
  7. buy a 10 inch jockey wheel it sits a lot higher and also easier to move. I got a solid one as i found that with the pneumatic ones the tubes are ratshit.Cheers Ray
  8. if it is a swivel mount jockey wheel the mounting is adjustable for height
  9. which one displays green zones the best?
  10. we have had a couple of sessions better than that shoulder letting me know about it now. Could have done with this in the boat.
  11. Was not once about 4 times think I will have to tape a bike tube to it and run the tube down my trouser leg.
  12. It was not one it was about 4, might have to tape a bike tube to it and run it down my trouser leg.
  13. WE ignored the forecast and braved the cold and wind. It was cold enough but multi layers of clothing kept me warm but was a challenge with negotiating PFD, rain coat, rainpants, trackydaks,shorts and undies when it came time for a widdle. No one told the fish about the crook weather with both Ray Hughes and Mark upgrading their PBs with fish over 50cm. The quality of the fish was excellent with several over 50 and lots over 45. I was the only one that did not crack a 50. We boated 20 bass by 7am half way down Koala Straight finishing up with 60 bass and 2 tandans from that location. We left there and did the shrimp traps and tried one other spot opposite koala straight before moving to Andrews drop off where we increased the tally clicker to 163 bass finishing up at 1pm. Cheers Ray

  17. Whitworths too small i run a 4500 lb ebay one and it can pull my boat up from the ground ok. My boat probably weighs more than yours it is 17ft plus 2 X 24volt battery banks.Do not get steel cable one go for the dyneema rope, Look for one with 2 remotes. If you wish I have 3 powerwinches in the shed motors are good but have rusty steel cables so you would have to replace with dyneema, also replace thrust bearings ( lance carry these I think or he can get them in for you) The power winch has the advantage of having a back up handle if someone else has to tow your boat and they have o anderson plug. You can convert the power winches to wireless remote he kit costs around $20 plus a solenoid. The disadvantage of the power winch is that it does not have a power out facality and if you stuff up when retrieving solo you have to get up to the winch and manually let the boat back off the trailer . I will try to remember to take a few photos tomorrow.ps power winches are free
  18. Congrats. Now we know why the garage clean out. Are you donating the force to the maritime museum?
  19. Went to western arm this morning with Rick. Only small bass final tally was 69 fish of which I only caught 24 and of the 24 only 8 were legal, Cheers Ray.
  20. Good day again at NPD. I had a full crew with Hai,Stew and stews mate Guy.Took a few spots before we found a good school in 50 feet of water near the fad opposite the fig tree.Hai increased his pb with a good trophy bass whilst Guy got a workout with a couple of forkies, Stew being a gentleman said I will release it for you and promptly got spiked in the hand for his trouble. When Guy caught the next one he was told to look after it himself. Both forkies were too big for percy and the eagles. We knocked off with the counter showing 107 bass and 2 forkies. Cheers Ray
  21. It was a bit cool first up and was nice until that breeze sprung up. Cheers Ray
  22. You could enjoy a session like that if you could give up a durrie or three for a few hours.
