    An ali floor is a good idea, and Seajay have one that is fitted like that.. To me that's the issue with a quintrex, it has a ply floor. I thinkthe waveriders look pretty good, but also consider, if you can find one, a Borger Cat from Ingham. Also McLay aren't a bad little boat. What ever you go with, you won't get one that does everything. You have to go around the 5 mark ali (iight and strong and able to lift off banks etc and not get scratches from rocks bars etc) for inshore work and creeks etc then a glass boat for offshore work, preferably 6m plus. My advice would be buy the inshore boat then hire or borrow for the offshore otherwise you'll have a boat for neither situation.$0.02

    I feel your pain. I had checked the tides and had a trip planned to central Qld but that's now off. Imagine having planned for the ekka and now it's off, that would be a massive blow formany people too.

    Yep, somepeople learn quickly, some learn slowly and some l ike me don't seem to learn at all. I have caught the odd fish aorund the pine but tough going. There are a lot of boats around so maybe sneaking around the corner into Bramble Bay might give you some better territory. Your man Peter Jung has done some videos of fishing on the pine with plastics if you can find him on the youtubes. But Grmby's advice is sound obviously and I can't help you much at all sorry.

    The trim should only change the position of the prow v the stern Baz, not the line of the boat from left to right. That lean to port or starboard normally has something to do with the weight distribution in the hull. For example, if the fuel tank and the battery are on one side it can lead to a definite lean.

    Yes, you need to have some grunt to get them away from structure if you're talking jack or barra, but threadies is very much lead them to the boat, wait for them to explode, get them back to the boat. They don't go into structure as a general rule, or at least where I fish for them.

    They're restricted at the moment along with pearlies? or am I deluded?

    Sounds great, good luck.

    Painted sweetlip, related to blackall (mother in law or slatey bream.) Can also be called a morwong in some areas. OK eaten fresh and can pull like blazes. At least I think that's what it is.

    Plenty of people eat tilapia, fillet with crumbs in oil or batter.

    I've had issues and just bought a flat plug ofr mounting on the car from superchop which has little LED's at the connection. When the wire is active the LED comes on. So if for example the left blinker LED light flashes when you put the blinker but there's no blinking at the trailer light then there's an issue between the plug and the light, or at the light itself. If the blinker is on and the LED isn't flashing at the 7 pin connection, then the problem is from the car, and is not the trailer. Just helps a little with isolating any issues and wasn't any more expensive than other mounts.

    Outstanding comments thanks Neil.

    Or get a railblaza one with a starport. Alternatively a good headlight is the $50 rechargeable from Jaycar. Thrws a good beam and lasts an hour or so between recharges.

    I think their spinning and baitcaster reels are made overseas to Alvey specifications but I could be wrong.

    Wipper weport centuwion!

    I agree, I have a thunnus and two D series baitrunners, and the thunnus is a class above the baitrunners. Not that the baitrunners aren't a good reel. I have a 6 and also a 12 and I use them especially for threadies. I use the 12 out on the reef and it's got good drag. Nice and smooth. They're complicated to replace parts but I had to change the main drive gear in the 12 which was interesting. Ordered the part from shimano and that worked out fine. Thunnus is a really smooth reel.

    Those are a cod lure I think? Freshwater lures tend to have a violent action more so than saltwater lures which tend to shimmer more.

    They should be there. It's funny how some rivers seem to be full of jacks and some (like the mary in qld) they're quite rare. It might have to do with access to reefs as they migrate from creek and river mouths out to inshore and offshore reefs to mature and breed. This is possibly why north qld jacks caught in the rivers and creeks are much smaller than those in southern qld, and gold coast jacks are amongst the biggest. Just a thought.

    Yep and sometimes you'll find the low profile reels carry less than the others. Also for jigging some of the reels don't have the level wind which annoys the hell out of me but some love it, so watch for that. You also need to consider whether it will be used only for dropping or whether you want to cross over with it to do some casting as well, as some reels just won't cast at all well.

    That's outstanding economy

    I have read that about the thermostat, but then what does that say about the flushing option that yammies and others have to just run water through without starting the motor. Have read a few diverging opinions on this over the years. INteresting though, thanks for bringing that up.

    I think this was the issue I had with my 90 Johnson 4S, (rebadged Suzie 90) but managed to catch it in time. When I took it to the outboard machanic he knew what the problem was strgaight away, and fixed it with a weld maybe? Put me off suzies TBH.
