i have a 21 foot Donzi centre consol, but lately ive been doing a fair bait of surf fishing.

one of my fish from last year

it took a whole 40cm mullet down its gob.

dang, thats impressive... never caught anything that big ;\

My old man bought an older model 16 foot cruisecraft last year, powered by johnson 140hp outboard motor. thing fkn flies! Could prolly use it as a ski boat!

But anyhow, yes - took it out just down north haven last time, picked up some decent snapper, whiting and flathead. I personally love fishing for squid. We cleaned up heaps off the peninsula last yr around moonta - cant remember what the exact area was. Wallaroo i think?

Yeah I always drop a couple crab nets and take some squid jigs up to moonta. Even from the jetty you can pull a nice phat haul in

We have family property up at Hogswash near Waikerie. In my youth we used to catch lots of Redfin, Callop, the occasional Murray Cod (70cm is my biggest), and plenty of carp. But in the last 15 years fishing has been shite with 99% carp. Imagine my great surprise last weekend when we caught about 50 fish between 2 of us in a 24 hour period. One beautiful 50cm 1.5kg Callop we ate for dinner Friday night. A couple of 2kg carp, a couple of 1kg carp, 1 x 14cm redfin, and a large assortment of 10-20cm Callop and Bream. Amazing - the Murray is so healthy above lock 1 - best it has been for decades!

Went fishing often when I lived in Darwin and caught many 1m+ Jewfish (Mulloway), 1m+ Spanish Mackerel (best fighting fish I have ever encountered), and have even landed a 1m Barracuda - took well over an hour and he bent the 2ft wire tracer about 20 times!

Have also caught large Salmon off the beach at 7 mile beach Coffin Bay, and a host of other fish over there from boat and beach including a group of us catching about 40 30-40cm Trevally off the beach in one sitting! We have friends own an oyster lease in Coffins, so we also caught a chook basket full of fresh oysters and cooked them up kilpatrick, chilli and cheese, mushroom gravy, and various other varieties one night - we put away about 20 dozen between us!

Some pics attached

Last one is of me sitting on top of a F#$k off size sandhill in the Coffin Bay National Park - to give some reference see the 10yo lad about 15 metres below me .... was awesome!

Thats making me hungry again Andrew.

My dad goes between Brighton & Noarlunga between 6am & 8am most mornings off the beach and usually gets a good feed each time.

He got 18 average size mullet and 1 big gar this morning.... I went over for lunch and helped them eat the things....nothing like fresh fish.

Moonta SAU trip on the 24th - 27th April... myself, a couple others going there so far.... should be enough blue swimmers and squiddies to keep people interested, let alone whatever fish is biting... any takers? More the merrier :action-smiley-069:

-Doh

I might well be keen for that Ben. I will have to beg the +1 and 5 month old child for a leave pass. Where are you staying? Is that a public holiday weekend, or are you just taking a few days off work? Will anyone be bringing a boat?

Its the Anzac day long weekend, aka Friday Public Hol... I'll be going up there on the thurs night after work and staying till Sun arvo... nobody so far is taking a boat, but if you want to take one, port hughes is less than 5 km away and has a boat launch,... would be great to have some boaties up there too!

-Doh

mmm i have a 18ft nerues where abouts was you planning on staying?.

the gps is loaded with pt huges fishing marks the guy i brought the boat from lived there and left all his spots still loaded in it :-).

havent had a chance to try any of them yet

Moonta Bay Caravan park... its right on the Moonta Bay jetty.... Pt Hughes is a 5 minute drive and has a boat launch :P

-D

I used to fish a hell of a lot (mostly on the Bay in Melb but numerous trips too) from pier and on the boat (family sold it years ago now), been up to Yorke's twice since moving here but nothing to write home about, mostly crabs and unless someone else is peeling them I ain't interested. :ermm:

Used to do pretty much the lot, lure, troll, live, but mostly bait. Never fly tho.

Best efforts would have to be John Dory off the wharf and a brace of Tailor in the estuary round Merimbula (NSW), lotsa Flathead at Mallacoota (VIC), my first Murray Cod was fun (nothing huge in size), but these days I think I'm just too impatient.

Good pics Skippy, don't ya hate those port jacksons?!

We fished for snapper out of Cowell and in Lucky Bay where my mates cousin owns shack No 1, and we lost count the amount of times we pulled up those sharks......I reckon he was the same one each time lol.

yeah sharks are annoying, but 1). they are great fun to catch and give a hell of a fight, and 2). make good bait :laugh:

If I go to Moonta, you should drive over for a fish even if you don't camp Pete! Especially if mid life crisis brings his boat!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
