How many amps is the battery ? You'll be wanting at least 100 amps. No soldering required.

@AUS-BNE-FISHO, @Thorbjorn Hale may have the answer, being river regulars.

Anything but housework !

No secret signal/symbol this month, due to the late decision to extend the comp. Keep an eye out for next month though. If you have a picture of the Jack on a measuring device it will qualify as a submission. Well done on your first. I bet it played up deluxe on the bream gear. If you are having any trouble sorting out how to upload the pics shoot me a PM. Either that, or wait a week and the site's pic issue should be fixed.

Well, North is ahead this month...

You've got all year now !

True, but I was thinking after the December comp, so somewhere in January ?? If the comp is a tie, we could have a fish-off. haha

Hey @Neil Stratford, We went to the Rous this morning and the bay was brown. Lost the only decent fish and got menaced by green sea toads. We had a shocker. Looks like you did alright. Grassies are the favoured table fair from the bay at our place. 20lb and scull dragging them in may be the only option until the sharks go a little quieter in Autumn/Winter. Did you happen to get a photo on a measure of any of your fish ? I've extended the North Vs South comp to be monthly. No secret signal for February. Submission thread -

Done.

I was thinking the grand prize could be bragging rights at a Sausage sizzle get together at year's end. What are your thoughts on that ?

* U P D A T E * The comp is being extended to being a monthly competition with a winner for each month. Most months won takes away a grand prize at the end of the year. Also, I have introduced a "Trophy Fish of any Species not covered above" category. This will be for something like a pb Barra or Mangrove Jack that is somewhat remarkable.

Thanks for the update. I'm heading there Saturday arvo/evening, so good to know. The bay was brown today, right over to near the SP Bar. Post the links to your fish and I'll update the leaderboard.

OK. I'm making an executive decision. We'll run the comp monthly from now on, and include all of February. February token - None this month, just a pic on a measure.

We could do it monthly, Tony. See what people say. Were you in the river by any chance ? What was the water like ?

Oh, I just saw the Google photos. Very nice.

? It was only a one month comp. Pics of anything would be good to share though. Especially after a donut day in the bay. Would everyone like to make it the best of three one month long comps during the year, say Jan, Apr, Aug ??

Yeah, they don't eat all day every day. Barometer play any part, do you think ? With the Livescope, the river threadies and jew will be praying for you to go on holidays again.

Yeah, I see them. How cool is that. It would make the no bites more frustrating. What were you throwing at them ?

Youtube ?

Video of the Livescope in action would be good.
