 Worms all the way through the fillets like a coutta. Shame, having good meal from that fish would have been the perfect end to a good fishing story.
Had that in a bluenose too. Only 1 of 4 had the worms, but they were all through it :puke:

Re: Daiwa lexa

I really liked my Lexa, until it fell apart lol.

Currently use a couple of Catch reels now days.
If I wanted one to do strayline, slow jig and light mechanical jigging, I prefer my JGX2000 lever drag over the baitcasters I have.

Re: Faulty FF, or just me?

I’ve taken my 7X HOOK2 off the stealth before I sold it due to the thing showing the screen like that. Even tried it off the wharf with the transducer on a stick , no better. It’s never worked properly since the first time I used it. Marine Deals have $600 off me for nothing but an expensive box th...

Re: Paddle pants

Off the back end of Hainesy's "shell suit comeback" comment... Where is a good place to get some new paddle pants on a budget? Are Rasdax still king, if so where from. I can only find them at Hunting and Fishing but not exactly what I'm after. What other options are out there and where from? Any th...

Re: New Boat Taking On Water

Thankfully you noticed before you left!
My boat has 6 bungs (not all of which I actually open), so I have to go through and check them all before launching. Water moves through them damn quick

Re: Musings on kingfish

Nice one mate - I think kingfish are some of the most fun fish to catch. I've always done better with Jigs personally, but in close like you were, the livies seem like a good plan.

Re: Kayak Fishfinder - GPS - Sounder Recommendations

Thanks for the advice. :y: Can I ask, what is it about the Lowrances you don't like? Re: The GT52 and the GT51 yes, but as my Kayak is not really an offshore model, I'm not likely to need the extra grunt of the 51 as I'm unlikely to get to fish, in much more than 100~200 feet let alone 500 or 750, ...

Re: Kayak Fishfinder - GPS - Sounder Recommendations

Nice research! My second Garmin on my jetski was an echomap 95sv and I put in the GT51M transducer. It's a FANTASTIC transducer, although expensive. So much so, that when I bought my boat, I got another one. I've also put in a low chirp 1kw transducer for the deep stuff. If you can upgrade the trans...

Re: Kayak Fishfinder - GPS - Sounder Recommendations

Nice choice of FF. I've run 3 or 4 Lowrances, and since then 3 Garmins. I always found mapping to be quite good, although for some time I used my phone. Does the Striker Plus come with QuickDraw? If so, that, along with Navionics on the phone would be fine. Syncing with the phone is also very nice, ...

Lowrance and Garmin are both good. Just make sure you know where you'll put your transducer and that it'll fit
