    The snapper measure was a piss take. However, snapper is about $40 a kg.... so could be related back to fuel burn version food.

    I don't want to do that true calc though......
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    I think the average boat (or even jetski) owner spends way more than they could ever hope (or would want) to get in the value of fish. Boat value, insurance, servicing, fuel, trailer WOF etc, but it's not about that. If you want bang for your buck, buy a kayak.

    There are some things that should remain unsaid - and you just said a lot of them....

    If I took fuel/bait/burly on that 40 bucks a kilo(fillet weight?) I would definitely be WAY ahead....well if I kept it that is, but if you added in purchase cost of boat and maintenance things dont look so flash but in theory I would be paying off my snapper boat, my flounder boat would probably have already payed for itself.
    In practice of course things dont work like that as there is only so much fish you can eat. It is illegal to sell fish without holding quota and both boats run at a loss.
    Thats ok I like fishing,I like eating fish and I like giving fish away.

    All the fish were really well conditioned and only caught 2 undersized and they were only just.

    Anyone have light bars on their boats? I'm after ideas. I mounted one on mine and get to much reflection off the front rails - to the point of not being able to see.

    Definitely a trawler? There has been a small longliner/netter working that line about 1km off for a while targeting rig I am told.

    Some nice pannies there.
    Where did you mount it? if you mount it on the hardtop but move it back untill the front of the hard top just shadows the bow you should be good?

    Thats true and most of the other guys commercial wise are either dainish seining or towing for "flats" and from what I have seen they have their headline tied down to less than 1 m opening trying to avoid catching a bag of snapper as most have no significant quota so keep what they have for bycatch.
    If you see the guys dainish seining call them up and find out what / where their gear is as setting long lines in their nets path makes for angry people on both ends

    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    I wouldnt have thought any of the inshore guys would be actively targeting snapper untill the quota year ticks over which is 1stOCT? from memory?

    Yeah no huge fish. But all good for a feed. And was cracking action, on a day that was meant to be crap ....

    As for light, yes i need to play with the forward and back bit, however i think if i get it back far enough to miss the rails, they wont be doing f all for actually lighting the way.

    You dont need to see the 3 or 4 meters in front of the boat at 20knt...if you see it there you have already hit it before you can react.
    If needing that light forad for docking and trailering maby you could mount a small light under the bowsprit ankor thing or one each side just under the rub rail at the bow facing down?

    Even after the 1st they won't be actively chasing it, theres too much of it

    As it should be!
    But Im sure gytons etc put in orders for a few early snaps obviously not the whole inshore fleet but maybe a boat or two fishing the big guys quota do a few shots here and there to fill specific orders etc.
