Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

yea 6 years is good service for any battery and I wouldn't let my boat battery get that old regardless of how reliable it may seem.
To be fair though when I am using my boat you often can't see land for most of the trip so a bit harder to call up a tow.

and a house battery is a good option to consider if you have room,charging capacity etc.
Can have more light,sounds ,whatever without having the concern of running starting battery flat.

FYI, just bought a couple of new batteries for my cruiser from battery cell ,couriered to my door for about 2/3 price from battery shops

Yeah Beaker will do. I will also turn off the sounder when the motor is off until I get an auxiliary battery.
All I can say is yay for those Lithium ion jump starter packs

pb trevally 5.5kg on the scales

Nice travers
That is about the size of the one we lost at the boat they make pretty good Sashimi . I remember the day most people thought they were only good for bait.

Bloody good start to 2021

Well done. Great fun those little bullets.

What a beauty , well done

Awesome MB, looks like your gonna need a bigger tape measure
That must have put up quite a fight

Nice going MB.

Trolling lures?

Yeah, full on blue water trolling. We were actually targeting them, albeit in a small trailer boat that isn't really setup for game fishing. Mate and I agreed that we'd rather catch a yellowfin than a marlin, so we pulled some small lures about and got lucky. Fight was insane. We had a double hook-up and chaos ensued. As two novice game anglers, I think we did well to land both fish with no major dramas.

Awesome well done.

Well done MB!!

Thanks to the good guy @Got-ya, we got the target species and some small by catch

Great result Beaker was the other anchor stuck on a rock or just lost overboard by someone and sticking into the sand
