Live Bait - In my experience, I've only ever had larger fish on larger live baits
Would love to use live baits but still new to fishing moreton bay, any bait grounds from Manly to mud?
If i get on to some small winteries I know this is gun live bait. But would be good to find herring or yakkas. Outside of the beacons, I'm not sure where i can sabiki herring or yakkas for livies.
Anyone tried grinners either live or as cut bait?

Been there done that
. Over time I’ve changed my pre boating routine from always turning over the motor the night before to avoid ramp embarrassment to investing in a Ctek trickle charger as I don’t get to use the boat as often as I’d like. I now also have a cheap eBay Bluetooth battery monitor that I can pair to my phone and check the battery Is charging from my lounge chair. As a final strategy When launching I always start her up before She is off the trailer (one less thing to do if she doesn’t start). If I see someone struggling to start their boat I’ll always offer some reassuring words, simple things like kill switch, neutral gear, fuel bulb. Sometimes in the panic at the ramp people forget the basics.

I headed out to mud from manly on Saturday after a detour from rous to try and get onto some whiting. After Nothing but grinners and baby grasslip we legged it to mud around 9am to try our luck. We were using squid, fishing 8-12m but got mostly small pickers. 3 tuskfish, 1 legal and 2 let go just under. Back at the ramp around 2pm where it was busy but not a long wait. Any tips on avoiding the pickers at mud?

Boat Ramp Chaos
in Saltwater

I wouldn't be without a trickle charger for my boat because i only get out once per month. What the trickle charger does in summary:
1) Bulk charge your batteries post a session out.
2) Once it charges the battery to about 90%-95% capacity it transitions to a slow rate (trickle) charge to 100%
3) Once it hits 100% the charger will stop charging (to prevent overcharging)
4) A lead acid battery typically loses ~2% capacity per week (sitting isolated) once the capacity drops below 90-95% the trickle charge kicks in and repeats the cycle.
Thereby always leaving your boat battery topped up between 90%-100% without overcharging.
