Re: Wheel bearing tool
Another way to do it on the cheap is to cut a slit into an old bearing race of the same size and use it as a drift to insert your new race. Once it’s seated correctly it is easy to remove the drift because of the slit in it. It looks like the tool in the photo is the correct tool for the job and wou...

Re: New to boating/fishing - Help!
Thanks! I guess I’ll start to demand a 4 stroke then 😂 there are just not many that we’ve found at that price point, so naturally I figured that in my range, I would only be able to get a 2 stroke. “Demand” may have been a poor choice of words. What I meant was that a 4 stroke engine should be very...

Re: Trailer bearing replacement
Be careful when pumping the grease into the BB’s. If you overdo it it will blow past the rear seal and make a horrible mess. I run BB on one side of my trailer and regular caps on the other side because some bastard stole the BBs from that side. I’m not convinced they are that much better, if I had ...

Re: New to boating/fishing - Help!
No reason (I can think of) not to demand a 4 stroke in that size and that price range. $30k will get you a good boat in the lower 5 meter range second hand. Make sure to check the trailer is in good nick too as it’s often overlooked and can add quite. Bit extra if you need to replace it later. If yo...

Re: Westernport deep water berley bucket.
For a heavy burley bucket I just bought a regular wire one from the tackle shop and then took the steel weight off the bottom, put the bottom of the cage in an old stainless dogs bowl and then Filled it with molten lead and let it set. It popped out no problem and weighs about 10 bloody Kilo. It wor...

Re: Soft plastics from piers
Soft plastics and squid jigs will work off the piers. Best to find a quiet pier though so you can cover plenty of ground. Snapper might be a little difficult but flatties, trevally, tailor, salmon will have a go. Squid jig under a float works if over the weed, or you can work your jig egi style.

Re: noobie to bream
Unweighted prawn left to drift down under a moored boat, pier, pylon, etc. it’s fun fishing but you gotta hang on and use a tight drag. Gotta fish light for good presentation but you’ll likely lose a few fish to bust offs if you’re not really quick. Can even sight cast to them on a perfect day (and ...
Re: grab n go
2500 reel (CI4). 2-4kg graphite rod (I like team Daiwa black series at the moment). 1/6 Oz jig head with a 25mm Zman grub in motor oil. Seems to work on bream and flatties consistently and is my basic go to in a new location to get a feel for a place.
