what exactly is your setup mate. If you have a good enough setup and can stop some of these fish i might recommend a few spots but it requires some pretty serious gear. I fish there with an egrells "BEAR" Barra stick and a Stellar 5000 with 50lb braid and cant stop them every now and then. Barra fishing can be a pretty demanding thing.

well barra and nice eating fish simply do not go into the same sentence. Id be looking for some jacks man. Go scouting the rivers around you and look for snaggy areas or rock ledges. Go back with said gear and a few slabs of FRESHLY caught mullet and some gear and hang on, also post pics. Jack are a bloody good eating fish, and to be honest, i prefer bream over barra lol

contrary to the name, no it doesnt. And as for loosing lures, practice your throwing technique in the backyard with a bucket and get better. If you are loosing lures to the bottom, get a better choice of lure, look for a shallow diver, also use your commonsense when selecting lures. You dont use a lure that will dive to 4m+ if you are fishing a snag with 5 feet of water ofer it. Hardbody lure fishing is by far the most expensive way to fish the creeks as good hard bodies are worth upwards of $20 each(eg. Rapala X-Rap's, Predatek Vipers, Stiffy's, Bombers, Tilsons)

Alot of the jack i catch in the river are hanging out in the submerged trees or along rock ledges, they are an ambush predator and will usually only hit bait if they have somewhere to run to, like the snag or rocks. They can sometimes patrol the mangroves but they are usually very easily spooked when they are out in the open.

Yeah snags are evil. I've got a Tilsan 8cm gold herring and am going to buy a couple of River2sea mid dives around the same size. Apparently flatty's have a crack at anything that passes within a few feet of them. Going to start looking for a small tinny.

i've decided to sell my boat. 3.6m tinny, crappy trailer and early 80's suzuki 8hp (runs well). all registered. i just never use it. haven't used it since australia day 2010 (other than ocassionally starting the motor in a drum of water to give it a run)

fknlol

I dropped a beauty last night at the river, didnt even get a look at it, took me for a ride and near on spooled me on 50lb braid. It took a 6 inch long or so live mullet, felt like a barra, went like a barra but yeah, never got a look. I was cranky after that and left lol. Going back tomorow night with some serious gear as the moon phases are primo at the moment up here. Hoping for a few metre plus fish in this session, i had a few massive hits so i know they are there :)

so went out last night, not even a look at a bait or lure. After doing some digging i found out that the government let the pro's net the barra further upstream than they normally do, and let them net them out of season.......for research purposes? Bullshit. Bastards should have never come that far up the river to the spawning point

went out last night after the flood water receeded from the river barrage and threw a lure around, was rewarded with 3 metre plus fish in 2 hours, got a new PB fish ill post a pick up of, he went 1570mm! too big for my brag mat even lol. Poor thing was sick as a dog, had quiet a few lesions on him and a bit of bark missing off him from the floods id say. Apparently the pro's arent coming up the river anymore after they lost a couple of hundred grands worth of nets somewhere. Couple of the locals must have thought enough was enough and handed out some vigilante justice

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
