[mikooh]

Mikooh ...... Have I got a thread for you Check out "Barra Masterclass"
you really dont want to waste posts here

Chris

Ahh the gamesmanship has begun.. its interesting to see a few have developed accute lockjaw over the past 24 hrs..

personally I would trade 5 trays of lures and my blue dog for a leave pass in two weeks time

Mike,

respooled all reels with Tufline...so far so good, landed a few fish...casts BRILLIANT. Had some really stiff line called powerpro on a spin reel, soaked it in cuddly fabric softner....great!! Havent caught a fish yet but I doubt its weakened it. re-trebbled a few favourite lures. Got a newies. Flaps is one! (I will post a photo soon). Cleaned my guides on all rods...you would be suprised how much gunk builds up..

Finally, I have 'aquired' a set of spotties from work......soon to be mounted to the nose of the boat for night travel down the dam.....WARNING they may melt retinas of anyone looking at them!!

I am sure all the other guys have been doing bits and pieces too...interesting to see.

cheers steve

PS Chris, Stop try to divert traffic....I think mikes question is very timely!!! things were slowing up !! Ha Ha

No traffic cops here Steve

Hey , I was thinking about the spotty under the bowsprit area too ........ Just unsure where to score the right type of light ....... needs to be salt resistant ..... probably keep the bugs out of the eyes & mouth

I was thinking of doing something similar, but after going for a run in a mates boat with spotties fitted under the bow I decided to stick with my handheld lightforce spotty(work supplied) and installed a 12V outlet in the side of the console to power it up. The reason i went this way is that I find I am scanning out to the sides as much as forward when travelling at night, and with the fixed lights it felt like we had blinkers on (like a racehorse)

chewy,

mate Not me!! I didnt have TD sensor..I think Brian bought some. I had Nitlon PE and Yamatoyo. Got rid of nitlon....it was great too. I just got a good deal, and good reports on Tufline so I tried it instead.

Chris and Mike.

I agree mike about the blinkers. I actually have 2 square spotties (off a car) I have the perfect spot up under the bow where they can mount and be pointed at angles to view forward/outwards slightly...they are also adjustable....It will be trial and error, It cant make things worse. I also have a handheld. I find the glare refelcting back of the decks is blinding even if you hold it up high....then theres the bugs...yuk!!

I will take photos when I mount them. I tried to get an old set of ambulance flashing red/blue lights as prank....boss caught me!!

cheers steve

Thanks Steve

We struck a very chilly night last Oct at Cania ........ I might take the winter bag regardless
Still way too cold down this way

I've just checked Nagg's Tinaroo video for any highlights or lowlights and it seems his preferred method is "go hard with your tip in the water". Good thing he wasn't in the salt with a few crocs around.
