Excellent, thank you guys

I’m house sitting in Manly for a couple of weeks. I want to take the young fella out fishing somewhere we can catch easily. Not looking for trophy fish, just somewhere to him happy.  We have 4.2 tinny. 

Any locals who can recommend some spots? 

Cheers 

Looks like a great trip. Was talking to a mate from Cooktown the other day and he said the access to Cape Melville has been closed. 

Which is a shame, amazing spot.

Just an update that might help people in the future. I called "minnrepairs" as recommended by elicat and it was suggested I get the battery tested first up. Turns out the battery was screwed, not enough amps to perform two functions at once.

Cheers

cheers deggee12g ill give them a call

Will do, thanks

Anyone used a mobile marine mechanic in the Brisbane area they can recommend?

My Minn Kota Terrova has developed a problem, if someone can point me in the right direction I will have go at fixing it before paying for repair.

The steering has stopped working when the prop is spinning. Stop the prop and steering works. The problem appears to be triggered by turning right??

Cheers

Thanks.

yeah, thinking of a new trailer and used boat. Went to see a "Mackay KRX Trailer" today they look pretty tough. 

We have just travelled in caravan for a couple of years. Now the van is up for sale and we are going to take off again with a trailer boat and a tent/swag. Im looking for people thoughts on what boat, size, what trailer ect

My current candidates are Reneagde 420 or 440 with a Mackay off road Trailer. Im inexperienced with boats having only owned a Port-a-bote with 6hp so don't have much to go on!

We will be using it mainly Northern half of Australia and often remote areas,  so need something small enough to be nimble on the tracks and easy to launch anywhere. There are 3 of us, 2 adults and an 8 year old. We want to fish river/creek and get out to off shore islands and reef when the weather is good.

I would like the trailer to have a decent payload to carry additional fuel, water, gas ect and ideally run on 16" rims.

Keen to hear any tips from people who have done long trips with a boat

Cheers

Not yet been to NT, WA or Tas and only seen half of SA. We have stopped and worked for a 2 months or so a couple of times. We want to actually see the country. Met some folk going around the country in 4 months, seeing a lot of bitumen I reckon.

Im currently traveling Australia in a van with my wife and young fella. Been on the road for 2 years. I enjoy trying out as many different styles of Aussie fishing as I can, which means im below average at chasing lots of different species using lots of different techniques.

Potentially very exciting  change coming up for us and will need the help for this forum. More later.

Cheers

only 10, its already 9pm, what up with ya!

Chasing a travel rod in about 3-5. Budget is tight at the moment.

Short list is

Shimano Maikuro online $109, sea guides and no case

Shimano Revolution 30% off $150 at Anaconda, so 100 bucks, feel nice and no case

Samaki Zing Gen 2 at $160 with a case (and a free fishing shirt)!

I have a zing bait caster which I really like but not used the others, any opinns on them?

Cheers

Thanks Tiotony

Ill be down near Tully next week so will have a look, that was on my list.

Hopefully I get chance to up for a look up the Gilles Range before we leave Cairns area.

Cheers

Hi All

Thanks to "Andy Fishing" on youtube my Son wants to do an overnight "Jungle" hike and camp to find some sooties ect. Ive scoured the net for locations but all I get is "Google Earth is your friend" 

Turns out, Google earth is not my friend and I can't find anything with it. Im not asking for your secret spots but maybe a tip in the right direction, we are prepared to do the leg work.

We travel full time and are currently in Cairns based and moving to Macaky over the next couple of months and will be in Mackay till February.

Cheers
