Yeah, Ive been a bit slack. Really need to do an update video on the setup. its been working out great on the rear. I've done up all the wiring too to make it more reliable as well. Had the switches get corroded and burn out twice now on the water so changed it all over to a relay driven setup. means i can use waterproof toggle switches that done need to handle 20Amps and don't cost $30 each.

Thanks mate, Really appreciate you dropping me a message! I'm glad your getting into fishing 😁 It's been the best way to get me out of my shell and start to live a bit more. Unfortunately i had to leave the Bundaberg area last year. I miss the fishing up there. Less pressured water's around Bundy. I've recently just started getting back into my fishing after a big break. I'll be back for sure. I've been fortunate enough to meet up with nice bloke i actually met in Bundy, on one of my videos no less. He's been taking me out offshore and showing me the ropes out there. I've been making video for his channel lately. call it a bit of a collaboration effort. @EndlessWeekendlife " The endless Weekend" here on TH-cam. I'll start posting my own content back on my channel when i get my self sorted a bit more. All the best out there mate. wish you good luck fishing the water up there!!! have fun and enjoy yourself mate!!!

50ah Lifepo4 it weighs 6.9KG (15lbs) It lasts about 2 - 2.5 hours full speed and can get me approx. 14km (8.6miles). hope that helps :D

Thanks mate, Appreciate it. I'm not up in Bundy anymore. i had to move back down to Brissy. Thanks for the offer mate. hope to see you out on the water one day :P

No, not personally, I should really give it a go one time. However i have seen it done like that before. Would go really well around pontoons in canals and such. or even eddies. Great suggestion mate. Thanks for watching. Appreciate you 😀

that tube is for my outriggers / stabilizers, its has no functional use for the trolling motor. Hope that helps. Also though i haven't made a video on it. I 100% recommend trying to rear mount the trolling motor, iv been using it like that for quite some time, but only if you have an option to steer it, and i used the rudder foot controls to steer the trolling motor on the back.

Directly across from the marina at Burnett heads mate, you can't see it very well just from looking on the other side. but trust me its there. :P

yeah, great if you are getting into soft plastics. from bait. I like to call them Bio Baits. No action required. Hope they worked well for ya

No the use alligator clips on the end, i cut them off and used a Anderson plug instead but that still isn't waterproof. if your looking for a cheap waterproof connection that can handle the Amps. look into Solar panel MC4 connectors. I'm using those now.

@@CastingAwayDepression thank you I will look at them now cause my alligator clips are rusting already and I haven't even took my kayak out yet I've just been getting it ready thanks for your help i will look at them now

yeah, you do get that, but if you time it right when the tides down low, boats cant make it over the rocks so you have a little peace for a few hours :P

@@CastingAwayDepression I really enjoy your videos! My friend and I do land based fishing and i had no idea where I could fish from until I watched your channel. So a huge thank you!!!!!

@@crazycarnolady2323 Aww Thank you! That just made my day mate. I'm prepping myself to get back into making videos again. Life happened and things got bad for me. But i miss it and Fishing has given me some of best days over the last couple years. Good luck out there, Should be some big breambo's hanging out down near the rock walls at the mouth of the Burnett River right now.

Thanks Martin, I've not been doing well. Though I'm really trying to get out of this Rut, i went for a flick for the first time in around a year just last week. I'm keen to get back into it. Just Mentally I'm just not that present... my videos would just be me not very talkative.. Thanks for your kind words mate.

sorry i didn't see this earlier mate. hopefully yours turned out great. 3lbs Isn't that bad at all mate.

nope it just perfect, and there is two speeds on it anyways, so depending on current you all good. also people to PWM mods to the controls so you can dial in the speed.

Thanks mate, not to bad for a cheapie. done some good mods to her over the years. one day i hope to make a video about it.

nah not down this far south.. it is possible but highly unlikely.

That's the way, hope its fishing well! last time i was there i saw a young lad in a tinny, dropping unweighted whole prawns just of the edge of the rock wall. pulled bream after bream.

I've never tried, But I've been told they go alright. So I'm definitely keen to try next time i get a nice pan sized one :D

Cheers @the_dingo_show. slowly turning around. Getting back into the fishing after 7-8 months. Hope i can get some content out in the next couple months. Thanks for your kind words :D

@@CastingAwayDepression mate, go fishing don't pressure yourself with content. I know how much extra effort it takes and you should not put that on yourself if it's holding you back from getting out there. It'll come when you're ready don't force it or feel guilty for not filming. PS I'm down @ Innes Park for a few days, what's on the bite this time of year and where's a good spot for land based with a dog if you have any tips please?

@@the_dingo_show i got out for my first flick since Xmas last week. Felt really good. i did record it all, but will take some time to edit etc. and in the future instead of the pressure of trying to bang out a weekly video. I'm going to work on some longer videos but more spaced apart. Have a crack around Palmers Creek. near jennifer young park. Great for talking out the Dog, i'd be aiming for couple hours either side of the high tide. couple soft plastics near the entrance for some Flatties. or try flicking the outgoing tide off Kellys beach a little further up. Taylor, Bream and Flatties and if your fishing light.. maybe some whiting. Good luck out there :) I like the Berkley Gulp stuff. (Bio Baits) the new turbo shrimp go alright. 👍

@@CastingAwayDepression thanks heaps I'll give it a shot. I'm taking a 8lb and a 15lb see what I can find!

@@the_dingo_show That's the way mate!! Good luck out there. 8lb's = 👌

Thanks Mate, i'll be making a come back soon. I'll definitely be covering the rear mounted trolling motor setup. I don't have a PC to edit videos on anymore, So it might be a little while. Thanks for your comments👍

@@CastingAwayDepression Good to hear you're coming back mate! Love seeing the fishing/kayak content :-) Take care!

@@AustralianShootingChannel 🙌 Yes, I'm excited too. I missed it a lot... I can happily report that the rear mount is going strong.. even after it slept in the shed for the last 8 months.

Very kind of you to say :D Thank-you Very much 👍

Thanks @Jnig593. Appreciate you saying that. I've been struggling a lot. But i have been working over the last month to get back into TH-cam and making some new videos. all will be explained soon hopefully. Cheers mate :D

@@CastingAwayDepression I understand it can be tough, but I look forward to seeing the updates and changes! Keeping all secrets on for the new videos. Need to know the good spots and where they're biting!

@@Jnig593 👌even though it might be awhile till i actually get the videos edited and posted. i'm trying hard to motivate myself.. Starting with WBHFC 2023!!!

@@CastingAwayDepression yeah sweet times, loved that video of last years, keen to see how you go with WBHFC - its not far till the competition now. Are you feeling fighting fit for a big ass fish? Ever wondered what might happen if a big ol' shark grabs your hook, does it just pull your kayak like a little boat. I'm would be afraid of being pulled in the water and loosing the kayak.

@@Jnig593 Yeah I'm super pumped for it. meeting someone who i met through the channel there to have a flick. i'll be most likely land based fishing the event this year so we can fish together. challenge myself a bit doing it all by foot... (Maybe ill bring the yak out) haha see if i can take out 1st place flattie again. I think most sharks would just cut though my line, though it would 100% tow my yak. Never get too stressed thinking about the sharks... I've had a couple go right by me. although it'll only take one aggressive one to ruin my fun.

Yes i plan to eventually, Thanks for you Interest. 😉

Local knowledge is hard to beat. cheers mate 👍

Hey John. Glad you enjoyed the Vid. On an Average high tide I would say there is easily 1 Meter of clearance as you cross the rock wall. however you window will be limited. low tide is unpassable via boat. That hole though is at least a couple meters deep and you could just leave you boat anchored on the shoreline just inside the rock wall and catch it on the next high tide. 100% that is the cut through for Skyringville. It's a beautiful little spot. I've considered a night camp/fish right there. Good Luck mate. 👍

Many thanks for your reply. I'd looked at the satellite and seemed like it dried just wasn't sure how much there might be at high. 18" should give me clearance. I can pick a time for entering and leaving on high. I'll just anchor bow to shore and stern anchor so I can toss a line if I feel like it. Also.can have a beer without being bothered lol. Again many thanks

mostly just chunks of cooked prawn 😁

Thanks Mate, at some stage I plan on making a video.

I cant quite remember, i want to say it was a white poly-craft. Been awhile. may have been just a nice low sided white tinny about 4 meters long. I didn't want to include the footage of him helping me, as he had a younger son onboard. if it was you, or someone you know... tell them thanks for me 😉

@@CastingAwayDepression my old mans got an white polycraft, wouldve been my younger brother onboard with him. thats sick!

@@napes_online small world aye. All i kept thinking when it all went down was "The kindness of strangers" it's random acts of kindness like that, that keeps my faith in Humanity. All the best to you and your family. Cheers to your Father :)

Welcome Mate 👍I believe in this video I was using some Squid. But you cant go wrong with some Mullet Fillet or another personal favorite is cooked prawns cut into chunks ( about 4 pieces per prawn). Good Luck out there!

@@CastingAwayDepression cheers mate you too 👍🏻🎣

50aH Lifepo4 is all I need. 😁

Cheers Dream Path. 👍

Very Interesting. I'll have to look up anti-ventilation plate. Since this video the trolling motor is now located on the rear. It sits much lower in the water now which has helped it greatly. But I'm always keen to seen if I can improve things. 👍

Hey Thomas, Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Hope you had a good day out fishing. 👍

Hey Martin, Thanks Very much for your message. Very kind words. I've been out a couple times in December and had some good intentions of producing some more content. Unfortunately Both those times were incredibly windy and I didn't have much luck catching anything. Since then I've fallen on some hard times which has made it very difficult to get out for a fish. Believe me when I say I'm itching to get back out there... Fishing and making videos has been one of the only things I look forward to doing. Right Now I'm just trying to get through this rough patch. I have some unfinished video projects I should try to get done. Just been a bit hard on my Mental Health lately. I cant wait to get back out there. Thanks for checking in on me. Makes me feel good knowing that there are people who care and enjoy my content and look forward to more. Fingers crossed I can get back out there soon. Cheers Mate 👍

@@CastingAwayDepression Sorry to hear that mate. Would you be interested in coming out on my little 3.4m tinny sometime? Not to make a video but just for company. I can see that you have a real passion for fishing so if it would help make your day a bit better I would love to have your company on a trip one day. As I said I have a small tinny which my wife & I enjoy going on the water as often as weather & health permit. We are planning on going to Winfield on Monday. I only feel comfortable with 2 people in our size boat so if you would like a day out one day my wife said she will happily sit the day out. Let me know mate Cheers.

@@martinland333 Wow! Martin That's incredibly Generous of you. That made me smile. Unfortunately I have a very sick family member that I'm looking after closely. I appreciate the offer so much mate. I hope that maybe one day in the near future I can take you up on that offer. I'm always happy to to share some time chatting and casting a line with a fellow Fisho. Again Big Thanks to you and your wife for thinking of me. The kindness of strangers will never cease to amaze me. Best of luck up in Winfield mate. I hope you catch a Jack or two. I've heard of some large Lizards and Grunter up that way. 😁

@@CastingAwayDepression That is Ok mate. Please keep in touch as that offer does not have an end date. I hope you have access to any help with caring for your sick family member. I have been my wife's carer since 2019 when she broke her knee in 3 places stepping out of a boat at Monduran Dam. She was unable to walk on it until August last year when she had a what the surgeons describe as a Extremely Difficult knee replacement which took 5 1/2 hours on the operating table. Well since then we try to get out on our smaller boat now as often as possible. We haven't had much luck , only Grunters so far. We have tried Elliot Heads after watching your video, Walkers Point, Burnett Heads, Miara. My main one I am after is Flathead. My boat is only an old tinny with just a 3.3 HP Mariner with a 33LB thrust electric, It is not flash or fast but it suits us because I don't see the need to be travelling at great speeds. Ok mate take care & I hope things improve for you & your family member.

Awesome 😁 I'm Happy you got some inspiration from this. Cheers Mate 👍
