Thank you brother

Hey mate Sorry I wouldn't know.

Thanks

Hey mate. The brand is L&R from memory

Thanks mate I fitted one yesterday hopefully will try it on the weekend 👍

Sorry for the late reply The older style Shimano 4500

Bellambi boat ramp. The boat we were on is a south wind and being fibreglass has a completely different feel to the formosa as Plate Aluminium boat.

thank you. I have subscribed to your channel.

Hi Mate This was at Balmain east ferry wharf

Thanks mate.@@fishingactiontv

Sorry about that George. I got sea sick on that day and couldn't man the camera. It was one of my first videos. I will make sure based on your feedback that all fish will be filmed coming over the gunnels. thanks mate

Send me a PM and I will share tips on how to get them

@@fishingactiontv lately got a barcrusher 585ht need people like you and your tips.lucky man. I respect 🙏

Good stuff. How was the water temp yesterday, I had 22.9 degrees down south.

the reel handle can't be interchanged with the Torium. I'm not sure if you can buy a left hand model

@@fishingactiontv ok thanks

Thanks for your feedback Chris much appreciated.

30hp which is max hp, but i would recommend a 40hp

Hey Mate. This is at Crowdy Head NSW. Send me a private message on FB and I'll give you some tips on how to get them. And pearl perch which are my favourite.

@Fishing Action thank you very much! Havent seen a catch like that in years good work!

@@HB-oe4dg Thanks H B

both. float lining with bait and soft plastics. Some on anchor and others on the drift. Mostly 30 to 60m.

Bollywood production :)

Thank you

Thank you so much for your support

Hi Mike. Thanks mate. I will definitely be doing more squiding videos. Would you prefer land based or from the boat?

@@fishingactiontvno problems👍 i mostly fish land base but i just love squid fishing in general id appreciate either video

I will definitely do more squid videos

Hi JT, I purchased those on Ebay. Here is the link to the ebay seller. www.ebay.com.au/itm/253869707368

@@fishingactiontv are they screwed on? If it is now do you avoid corrosion in particular if you are using stainless steel because it does play nice with alloy. Thanks

@@JT-jy2sy After drilling the holes, I coated the drilled holes with some paint. Then I applied duralac to the the stainless bolts where they will make contact. I used nylon washers before the nut as an extra level of seperation. i placed a sheet of eva foam between the coaming rack and the side pocket as further separation and to reduce vibration. Please share your thoughts on this. hope this helps.

@@fishingactiontv hi, I am trying to figure out how you screw mount this. There is not a vertical flat sheet with mount holes. I would appreciate it if you could please give me some photos. Thanks

Hi Mate Sorry for the delay. Will you be mounting them in the same location? I used 100mm bolts. You need to drill holes through the rod holder and through the side pocket on the boat. I will try to take some close up pics for you

Hi Jack, Thanks for the interest. When i have a chance I will do a review on my boat and the modifications I made..

Hi Jack The swell height is not the main issue. The biggest factor is the period between swells and wind chop. A slow rolling 2m swell is ok for example without wind chop. It really comes down to whether the conditions are fishable or not. Hope this helps

Hi Jack I dint know the BMT weight but the dry hull weight is around 700kg and with.motor and trailer I would assume it would be between 1 and 1.5 tonne.

Hi Mate It's a 1999 model. The stringers are timber. Even until today whittley still use timber stringers.

Thanks. It's a Formosa SRT 520 Centre Console.

Hi Jack. Being a fibreglass boat it is a completely different feeling than the formosa in terms of ride and stability. Hands down the best riding 5.5m cabin boat i have been in. However the formosa is exceptional for a centre console aluminium plate boat. It slices nicely and is very stable at rest. Like all centre consoles though, you get a bit wet on those cross winds.

@@fishingactiontv is alloy boat easier to maintenance compare to fibreglass?

@@JT-jy2sy both have their pros and cons. Aluminium is easier to maintain, however they have corrosion issues and harder to repair dents. Fibreglass is stronger and easier to repair, however you need to keep the gelcoat in good condition by regular polishing. Hope this helps.

Hey Abdul. Harrington coast.

Thanks 😁

Thank you. It's an awesome boat.

@@fishingactiontv My wife and kids wants a boat I said no don't want to know the maintenance costs🤣😂

Hey Patrick. I haven't had any major issues. It used to leak a bit, so i add extra seal around the opening. It would be better if it was mounted lower, however that would kill the extra storage space I have in the transom and you can't have enough dry storage space in a centre console. It's just a pain when I'm bait fishing and keeping livies together. So I'm thinking of removing the existing bait board and replacing it with three sections, so I don't mess everything up when opening the lid to get the livies.

Yep I wondered about that. Everything with boats is a compromise!

Thanks Martin, I'm still getting a hang of recording my fishing trips, but i'm enjoying it and trying to improve the content. On this day, the snapper were showing on the sounder, however they were not really on the bite. Long reef is tough at the best of times. In deeper water that is how they look on my 1kw narrow beam transducer. As soon as we went over them, I landed the 50cm fish. I have some upcoming trips up the coast and hopefully will bring back some nice footage.

it's a beast

it was choppy and very windy.

Hi Adi, I arrived around 9pm and stayed until around 12am, only due to when I could get there. Night is best, however just be mindful of the Ferries. The best times would be around tide changes and I found that around the slack tide is pretty good. But with squid, there are no rules. I will make a video soon on some of the techniques that have worked for me, but I'm always learning and most importantly having fun.

Hi, I will release a video soon on this. Most harbour ferry wharfs fish similarly. Small jigs seem to work best and natural colours work well at night, and always have a black jig in your tackle box. Some times I cast between the light and shadow line and other times just drop the jig to the bottom. Then slow lifts of the rod until I feel weight on the rod. It is important once you hook up to keep tension on the line. others might have different techniques, but hope this helps.
