    Yeah, sorry Tugger (and everyone). John's been dragging the chain for a long time now. We just have to wait for him to get to it.

    You can upload to the Google Photos AFO page and then share the link/s if you like. Not ideal, but at least we get to see the pics.

    Let me know if you need a hand.

    i have only muff flushed it as yet no sign of sand

    If you're sure it has a belly full of sand, then drop off the leg as said and check the impeller.

    thanks why is that

    It will make it easier to line things up when you put it back together.

    Are you getting water from the tell tale ?

    If not, pull the bottom of the leg off. Clean out sand from the impeller housing. Replace. See if water now comes from the tell tale. If not, try connecting s hose to the tell tale hose and back wash. Continue until the sand stops coming out. Further, you can remove the thermostat to see if the water is flowing.

    I'm currently testing out the new Daiwa Expedition braid.

    So far I've only used the 15lb, but find it is super fine, smooth and casts a long way with little effort.

    I have some 10lb, 20lb and 40lb to try out yet. Based on the 15lb I'm expecting a positive experience.

    Okay. Just joined. I’m sure you’re all shaking in your boots now. 
     

    @ellicat, I didn’t seem to need any pin?

    It could be your year. As long as you beat Kelvin, I'll be happy.

    As for the pin, I think it's not necessary if you follow the link.

    Headed out with Darren (@Allnighter) today, and @Leosonfire tagged along in his new boat too. Got to my mark around 7am in time for the start of the run in. Things were looking crook when the first half a dozen fish were grinners. We were bottom fishing while waiting for the pillie under a float to entice a schoolie or two.

    Soon enough the mack rod screamed off. I was playing it in when Darren's rod went off. He brought his in close enough to see it was vermin in the shape of a fairly hefty Leopard shark. Pretty fish, but it was in the macks way, so Darren tucked it out of the way and slid the net under the schoolie. 64cm. A good start to the esky deposits.

    A few more grinners, then a decent grassie, then it went a bit quiet, so we shifted 50 metres or so. I was getting bites here, but not Darren. Then another schoolie came in. We shifted a little again and, down 3/Nil, Darren was onto something heavy. Up popped a 45cm Blackspot Tuskfish. Very well received and straight on ice.

    Not long after he was on again. This one took him to the reef. After a patient 2 minutes or so it came back out and I slid the net under another bluey about the same size as the first. Then he caught another Leopard shark about 7 - 8 foot long!

    I got another mackerel and another grassie for the esky before the toads chased us away. A quick stop back at my first mark and my line screamed off. It was no toad. Ended up being a 4-5 foot shovellie. A bit disappointing but it had me puffing for a bit. @Old Scaley dropped in and said g'day then anchored not far away. We left soon after.

    Back to the ramp at 2, happy with a top day on the water. It's always beautiful at the Rous on a sunny day.

    out of curiosity, what jackets are you guys running?

    I run a Crewsaver manual inflate. A bit pricey if not on special, but super comfy. I wear it when I boat solo and I don't even notice it.

    You'll be loving the electric in no time.

    This fella did a mounting plate for a few of the AFO members -

    No affiliation with him, just a good job at a good price. Mounted the electric for me too.
