I guess the dye covers the thief, What's stopping it from covering you, Also make sure it's biodegradable dye or the greenies will hunt you down, That could be even more annoying than the thief's. "Legally" I doubt you could use it or sell it, So be careful.
Good Luck.

Great fish mate, glad to see you got a reward for your considerable effort, well done!

Some nice fish Dino, Thanks for sharing.
 

Thanks mate, it took me a minute to work out about old mate, I'm a bit slow some days,  nice one, lmao

I've tried all winter to catch my first Mulloway fishing every Wednesday night from from 8.30pm to 5am on the Tweed River in my Quinnie, with no luck what so ever, I've tried live mullet, live whiting, hard bodies and plastics, Every deep hole I could find, Even at the river mouth.
I was told the start of September is getting a bit to late in the season for the Tweed so I give up until next year, I go down to the old Chinderah bridge with a bit of mullet fillet, no sinker, and I drop it down on a fast incoming tide, 2 min's later I was getting little soft bites I thought were bream and I give it a tug,  My line takes off , A large bend in my rod and the real screams. my next thought was a stingray, 10 min's later it surfaces, To my surprise its a big Jewy,  I was and still very happy with that catch, I had to walk it down to the rivers edge then run down to the water and drag it on to the sand, Yippee, I picked it up and the hooks fell out, Lucky night for me,
Here is the photo. 100cm Jewy for my first ever, now I need a bigger esky.

G/Day Mate, You might get better results if you can post some photos so people can see the windscreen and boat from a couple of angles.. Cheers

Thanks everyone, Gave 1/2 to a mate who has been doing the allnighters with me. Very nice eating, still got 9 big serves cryovac'ed in the freezer.
I guess the moral of the story is never give up. Cheers.

Hello, 
Wanting an electric bow mount motor on my 4.2m aluminium boat so I don't have to put the anchor out as much. 
Looks like I need something with the spot lock feature, but don't think I can splash out a few thousand on a new minn kota. 
Are there any decent brands out there under $2000 that have the GPS spot lock feature? 
And also, how much can I expect to pay for a battery? 
 
Cheers 

I have a 4.2m Quintrex Renegade and recently self installed a Minn Kota Riptide I Pilot with spot lock.
It was under 2K complete with a 120ah battery.
I have never used the anchor since.
The advantages of using it when fishing or even exploring are mind blowing , lash out and spend the extra coin.....
Actually i would go as far to say that it would be more important to me, if i was on a budget, to spend the coin on an Ipilot,
instead of spending more on a flash tinny and a flash motor
It's like i've been born again... and i"m an atheist lol
gives me a boner every time i go out and deploy the electric ......
 

Such a good result for all your hard work. Well done

Ok, one of the highlights was hooking a Barra and the fight was strange. When we got a look at it a croc had the Barra in its mouth!
I was not impressed,  Brett started the motor and while I played it back to us and then finally got it beneath the boat. ( we were only in 1.2m of water) As the Barra came up Brett gave the Croc a little tickle with a pole and it released its grip. Much to our surprise the Barra took off in a flash only, he was still connected to the line. Very quickly I played it back to the boat knowing the Croc would be right back on it and our hoots of excitement rangout when we netted the biggest Barra for the trip landed at 90cm. Lost estimated 4 meter plus Barra's between us.
We got it all on video so I will edit it and post it for you to see for yourselves.
Here's the photo of the big girl. Unfortunately the croc had done some damage and you can see between the Gills and the wing fins. Otherwise it was in fairly good nick after the croc did the death roll with it in its mouth.

More to come.

Great fish mate well done. You will be eating well for ages! That is a huge effort fishing all night. Keep at it mate and you will be a master one day. 
Thanks for posting up the pics and stories. I hope we get a stack more soon 🙂
 

Nice one. Even old mate on the brag mat was impressed 👍

Excellent, your first Mullaway will be one you won't ever forget.👏. They can be elusive, took me over 6 months to catch my first, after that for some reason or other they became easier to catch then.

Ripper !
Nice fish and congratulations. Persistence pays off.
