Another Wazza

Hi there @Rooster69, I haven’t used the Thermolite composite boards before, but they do look the goods.

Are you able to get them at a wholesale or trade price? as the cost per sheet when compared to form ply of the same thickness is 4 or 5 times more expensive, that’s the only real downside I can see.

As for carpeting the Thermolite, it’s personal preference really, you could carpet, or paint (polyurethane), or just leave as is, the finish on the boards might be a bit slippery when wet though?

Now, now. In my defence I did have to wait in line behind four southsliders when buying those fish. 

Yes Greg, however, the south siders you speak of were only purchasing fish for consumption, not for the purpose of trying to edge their way on to the leader board

Great work Hamish!, they are both good fish

I’ve  seen a few squid lurking around the back of the boat at night, you could throw a jig at them if you want, but for the purpose of bait gathering, the squid & pilly’s provided will catch everything you need, plenty of iodine Bream & other species available to use as flesh baits if you desire

I stumbled onto this last week, it’s pretty interesting, good on George for making it happen, by the looks of it, the boat is a beast, looking forward to seeing the end product

Not in my area, I would call stocks somewhere between scarce & extinct 

I see what’s going on now, @GregN70 is trying to throw us off the scent by saying there’s a lack of fish around Yeppoon, wink wink,

Hoping he can keep us southerners at bay, rather than heading up that way and giving them a good old fashioned seeing to, Hahahaha

But if your heart is set on a Stella, go for it!, you won’t be disappointed. 

Hey Bob, have you considered the Daiwa Certate?, they seem to be a very capable nice reel, saving you quite a few $$$ compared to the Stella

A mate of mine has one, a 4.9 Brumby I think?, it’s alright, does the job, a little truck really, 

As far as not really taking off, the only poly boats I know of are Smartwave & Polycraft, compare that to the numerous manufacturers of pressed ally, and even more in glass, the market would be fairly well sewn up, even though they can cop a good old fashioned hiding, the fact that they’re plastic, and require a bigger motor compared to a similar sized ally or glass boat, probably puts a few people off?

Hi Steve, if by gyzmos you are referring to (steering/spot lock/ speed control) I use all of them! Hahaha, I haven’t yet found the need to over complicate my style of fishing with all the other wizardry these things are capable of, sure they can do some interesting things, but let’s be real, its just a glorified anchor for most of us, with the ability to reposition with relative ease.

ps, don’t you go worrying about what the “cool kids” are into, save your 400 bucks and just run your own race

Yep, it’s a good looking deck, but a bad looking finger, I can see that causing some discomfort 

Good report Hamish, you did have me when you said your old man hooked something!, Hahahaha, nice

Longhorn Cowfish, terrible Brian, just terrible 

If the steaks are “high”, they should probably lay off the weed, mooooving right along, it appears we’ve all hit an all time low, and yes, I do agree with Kat

IGFA approved, , that’s one hell of a Bass, good on him

Hey @Hweebe, have you factored in import duty & GST?
