Fishing Victoria Forum

So the great white hunter went to catch a tuna today. Launched Queenscliff and the car park was chockas, I don't know, a lot of sickies today ? I had planned an RDO since watching the weather last week. As soon as I got outside the heads and realised the swell was rockin from the SW I knew I was in ...

Hi Christian, Barwon bar and PP Heads/The Rip are quite different in that Barwon has a surf break out the front, whereas The Rip is a HUGE volume of water passing through a deep skinny channel that can have all sorts of influences. Tide, wind, swell, big ships, underwater terrain - causing whirlpool...

So actual usability 85%, not 100%? That matches my research on lipo Hi Kenny, yes that’s about it, This quote from redarc in my 2nd post on this topic :” Each is built from nominally 3.2 volt cells - four provide 12.8 volts at about 97% charge falling to about 12.7 volts at 20% SoC and then falling...

Wow looks like it's raining snapper !!!
Nice pic.

I was looking at the 50odd ah lithium battery at the fundraiser and the claim was its usable current was equivalent to a 100ah battery due to being able to run them to zero. Didn’t look into whether that’s true or not but even if it’s a half truth there’s not that big a stretch to get one. Perfect ...

Some lithium batteries have built in features for charging requirements and some don't. Either way it seems that there is a certain way LiFePo batteries need to be charged to get the best out of them.
Just some general info.

A bit of friendly banter back at the cleaning table ...

How deep were you fishing?

Hi Seb, we got the gummies in 9 meters out from Altona.

Cheers fellas, yep gummies are always fun to catch and great eating. Was going to try getting some whiting on the way home but the it really did bow up late in the afternoon. I don't usually get around Werribee way so I'm a bit lost knowing where to target whiting.

4 of us went out in my tub yesterday (2couples) was going to launch from Altona but got diverted towards Geelong as the city bound lanes were closed. So Werribee was an easy answer. Launched at 12 - beautiful conditions, cruised towards my usual spot. Ended up with 6 flatties and 3 good size gummies...
