Welcome back.

Tsunami raider... 

I dont own the big girl any more. Nor do I own a tow vehicle. All my fishing gear also got flogged with the truck. 😞

I just use a hot smoker, then smoke my fish for 4 hours. I bought it from a BBQ shop and it is quite tall. You put the hot beads at the bottom, then there is a dish for water to control the temp. I smoke at about 60F and use chunks of wood for my smoking material.

Before I smoke the fish I put it in a salt water and soy sauce brine for an hour then dry this for another hour.

When I do my batch tomorrow night I can post up my guide with pics if you like?

The flavour is soooooo nice!

Spot on advice Dropbear. The formula posted was used in the old days before GPS... Handy with old school piloting. 

Hey Vince. Welcome to AFO.
Its a good question but my answer is a bit lame sorry. Hopefully someone with better info will answer you soon. 
A bit more info would help too. 
Size of boat and how heavy?
4 stroke or 2 stroke?
Age of engine. 
The best I can do is say go for a good run with a full tank (with a spare tank just in case). Work out how far you have gone on your GPS or just on a map. Then top up the tank to work out how much you used. That is what I do as my fuel gauge is rubbish. 
Hope that helps. I ALWAYS have a small spare tank that is big enough to get me home from pretty much anywhere. They don't take up much room and it makes me feel better.
 

He is rovering. Some sort of stomach ailment. Treatment over there was intesne intibiotics so by the time we got him back to Australia to a hospital we could not pin point the cause. Also since he was so sick and immune system low and not able to take tablets he also got malaria 🤨 Anyway that is also being treated and he is well on his way to recovery. Already asked me when we are going back for revenge 😛

Whoops forgot spot tails! In particular Chris's cracker...

What a trip!
Not exactly the one I wanted but there are stories none the less. To explain briefly without going into to much personal detail 1.5 days into the triup and my dad got extrmely sick forcing me to leave and take him back to Kimbe for care. Gutted. I was happy to write it off as I have enjoyed the experience before. I was devastated for him as he was having such a good time. He managed one small black bass for his efforts. Thus I am left with not a lot to report except images. I am sure @John would be happy to fill in many details.
Points of interest were the bass were challenging to target due to an early arrival of white bait but some creative use of soft plastics enticed many to bite.
As far as hard bodies go trends moved back to my first trip experience with FCL Labo lures killing.
I do not have heaps of time to write paragraphs so will add some pictures now and more text later or reply to questions as they come.
Visit to the village:

Black  Bass (Have so many more but how many can you see?):


 
Other Lutjanus species for the trip:

Trevally:



 
Questions? I have so many more pictures of bass, cod, randoms, jacks... just trying to choose highlights.

When you pick it up let me know and I will be your decky any time that suits. I will need to take out a loan to pay for half the fuel however. #worthit .
