im saving for a bout.. some nice half cabin 16 footers going for about 5k atm

im old enough for a rec boating license.. so why not?

i love surf fishing!

when i lived in perth. we went cottesloe and i happened to cast a popper into a school of tailor. each fish was about 60cm L

went fkn off. reeling in a fish at every cast

i just keep all my fishing gear in the wife's car and if we are cruising along the coast we just pull over and pick a sopt to fish...

some fave spots are: portarlington, point lonsdale, queenscliff, port fairy (all land based)

my families beach house is at ocean grove so we are noramlly fishing at either queenscliff or point lonsdale

but lately wether from the piers or even on our boat we havnt caught overly much

and the weather was good when we were out

what are you guys catching?

im yet to catch a pinky/snapper from land =/

might head up to elwood on firday or saturday and spend an all nighter there.

my uncle got a 1.5kg pinky off the rocks and surf

well last saturday morning on the boat we got a garfish, trevelly, a few bluethroats and and a banjo shark

then sunday was dead not even a nibble

Ahhh good old relaxing fishing.

ummm a good spot is schnapper point in mornington peninusla.......just a right turn off nepean highway; its a looooong jetty which extends into the bay.

fish caught there are garfish which you can use as live bait for kingfish, pinkies are plentiful during the season and you will always see plenty of squid/cuttlefish

Pilchards are the best bait for snapper/pinkies by far if anyone is thinking of going.

Bream is pretty much dead in the yarra/marribyrnong

last week i went to seaford pier didn't get a bite for 2h's then moved on to mornington pier stayed there for 5h's and didn't catch a thing! there was about 30 rods in the water and i didn't see a single decent fish.

turned me off going again!

hate land base fising. love going out deep :P

but i back rock area and brighton is pretty good. and up frankston way its really rocky to get down there but when your there a nice cast and ye you will get some good fish up that way. forget the exact location. heading out saturday early morning around 3 am for some snappers. cant wait :)

king fish?

how big? where!?

im not into the gars. mostly into bream, whiting and snapper. but i do enjoy having a fight with the bigger fish.

the old man might buy a boat. a 5.1m half cabin cruiser so we might start troling lures if we buy it :P

edit: ashneel i might go out saturday morning to st kilda.. around 10ish with a mate to just play around and try catch some bait.

might even let a live one swim for a bit. maybe ill catch a shark

Off snapper point, during the day actually; basically use the float, tiny long shank hook and a type of white bait fish off a float to catch the gars then hook the gar through the back and again use a float.

The kings will come to the surface, generally in packs and grab em.........watch the line screeeem so set the drag just right

BTW were talking way over 40cm.

On another note, i hate the pier.......grab a boat for real fishing; even 100meters off the shore will increase the chance of grabbing a snapper rather than a pinkie.

Ummm for bream, yarra river near the burnley tunnel at the rivers bend at night is best for bream. Bait: yabbies are no1 or if you have access to low tide you can hunt for small mudcrabs in the rocks.

Salmon when in season are a plenty off Wild Dog creek about 2-3km before Apollo Bay.

You'll see where i mean when you get there, there are people there virtually every day of the year for various other fish etc.

station pier right at the end when its open to the public. you will never be disapointed. get there early in the morning at around 5am-9am and enjoy gummy shark galore. they love blue bait/pilchards.

sometimes you get a banjo shark which i hate catching as they are ugly bastards. some salmon and pinkies can be caught there too.

ohh mann! of a pier?

i've never caught a gar before so i reckon ill give it a shot

any gars there?

what time do the kings come out to play?

looks like its time to load up that overhead reel with the 37kg braid...

also, wouldnt the garfish die?

Yeah i was as shocked as anything! i always though that fish dont like to been seen from the top of the water during the day but hey the bloke caught 2 at the same time (they seem to travel in packs)

gar fishing was a breeze, easier than i though, small hook though and the white fish was bought at a tackle store closeby (not whitebait, they look like albino tadpoles)

This is during the day btw, so plentiful that they have an set amount u can take.

ummm if you hook the garfish through the back, they dont die and continue to swim (for a few hours lolz)

when i say say pier, it really extends out into the bay so dont get put off until you see it.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
