Hi Everyone

Sorry for not replying sooner. Been busier than a busy thing lately...

Horse,

Thanks, I have to say she exceeded my expectations. And they were pretty high!

Seadog 2,

Thanks Daryl and good work as Chef! Looking for a rematch...

Reel Scream,

Thanks Scott, really happy so far - and yes Troy is making a habit of falling asleep on the way home!

Vindicator,

Thanks. I did stress about getting her dirty, but I remembered I got *crew* ...

Spiro,

I'm old fashioned and don't usually talk dollars, but if you're really interested in getting one, PM me.

Cactus Jack,

Sorry those keys are more closely guarded than Fort Knox!

Fishbait,

Thanks. Troy got some photos up now. Great start, bagging out on first session!

Skipalong,

Thanks!

Two Dogs

Thanks, the front deck is great for bean bags!

Adrian,

Thanks, and yes 7" Nuke Chooks are hard to get past ... we only vary the head weights.

MarkDiver,

The space up front is great on the drift when its not blowing too hard but the real benefit is the cabin down below. We have a single and a double berth, refrigerator, kitchen sink, microwave, flushing head, hot showers and ... airconditioning ...

SleepyGreg

Thanks! We are most certainly entering into the Redcliffe Comp. Daryl has already bought the rum...

See you all on the water,
Nigel

Shit,, real nice boat there.

So what size jighead weight does one use in 90 mtrs? must take forever to get down.

90m with no current/wind on 7" = 1oz
90m with some current/wind on 7" = 1.5oz
90m with lots of wind/current = go elsewhere ...

Thanks Mrs Benno1!
