Got my new boat last year after 20 years owning my last tinnie. So I talked the wife into an upgrade and bought a 651 Mclay hardtop.
I got straight into getting some good mojo for the boat with a few trips offshore brisvegas and a trip out on the bunker group up north.
I very happy with it so far and here is a few pictures now we can load them up again on AFO.

Nice boat Mark - I've seen Ted's and they're a good design, plenty of room and also shade/shelter from the elements. Good to see you've transferred the mojo over to the new rig, not that that was in doubt ...... 🙂.

Very nice boat.  Looks like you definitely have got it's mojo on track too! Congratulations. One day.... One day I'll be able to get a bigger boat 🤔😕

Hello fellow anglers,
I'm Andy, originally from Hong Kong, and currently residing in this vibrant city. By profession, I'm a product manager, but my passion lies in the world of fishing. You can also catch me as a part-time fishing video blogger.
As I journey through middle age, I've found solace and excitement in the art of fishing. My interests primarily revolve around freshwater and saltwater lure fishing, where I find immense joy in the thrill of the catch.
In terms of my professional endeavors, I am involved in a business that specializes in products related to deep drop fishing, particularly focusing on battery packs tailored for electric fishing reels from renowned brands such as Daiwa and Shimano. If you're interested, you can find more about our offerings at www.batterysmith.com.
Here, in this forum, I hope to exchange insights, experiences, and techniques with fellow anglers. I am eager to learn from the vast pool of knowledge present in this community and contribute in any way I can.
Cheers,
Andy

What a great holiday for the boys

Decided to brave the 12 knot SE wind forecast with @Old Scaley today. I thought the Rainbow would be a bit sheltered and launched from Manly and headed across a pretty lumpy bay until we got in behind Peel. Ahhh.
Steve put a trolling board with a 3" spoon out and I put a 6M Laser Pro out. First line over a previously successful spot and Steve was on. A grinner. A grinner that ran across my line and gave us an almighty tangle that required a bit of cutting. After sorting that out we proceeded and Steve picked up a nice schoolie, going 56cm. I changed down to a 2.5M Laser Pro with a smaller profile. Caught weed.
Changed my rig to a trolling board as well. We passed over a bait ball and we were on alert. Double hookup and they were both thumping in the opposite direction, giving a good account of themselves. Steve's got off, but I managed to land mine, going 62 with a bit of missing tail. Steve then picked up another good one.
Then we got another big tangle that required more cutting. During that time the macks moved and we couldn't relocate them. We trolled on but our luck had run out, so we retired the trolling gear and headed down to SE Peel to find the 'Hole in the Wall'. We found it, but being more exposed, was a bit rough for fishing so we headed back to Green Island. Conditions were pretty lumpy still, but not too bad boating in the same direction as the waves.
By the time we got to Green things were looking ordinary, so we called it and headed back to Manly for a 12.30 finish, an hour earlier than planned.
Thanks for braving the conditions, mate.

 

What a great holiday for the boys

My boys came up for Christmas. They where supposed to fly into cairns the day Jasper hit the coast but they managed to fly in on the Thursday before the airport flooded.  
 
We sat around the house for a week watching the rain and the mould grow and we head out on the first day we could get out. The almanac was telling us it was going to be good and boy we could not go wrong. We hit the known grounds for the first two days landing several Nannies and an awesome dogtooth tuna on a light 20lb outfit. 
 
For the  third day out Declan wanted to chase some Reds. Not having any ground off Cairns, we went prospecting and we found some incredible ground  

Top haul.
Well done Team.

Now that is a great shot. Great sized trout for a feed
