Whats a PLB worth and whats the cost of an EPIRB?

I bought my PLB for $280 and I think EPIRB is slightly more.

I think, along with Squid, Snapper are one of the stupidest fish there is. And surprisingly one of the easiest to catch, if you know the simple things of what "stupid" does. It's just trying to find that what works and doing it. They are Scavengers more than they are Predators. If they are on the ch...

There,s one big bugger that i have hooked up on the last two season but keep,s breaking the braid on the rock,s might get him this year . I've seen jewies cruising there at night. They were small like 60cm ones. So could easily be them. I have also seen some monster flathead landed there. Only one ...

Thx for the heads up Robbie ! :tu: https://www.gonefishin.net.au/product-category/great-fis...

Fellas, Had my 4th trip for the season and for the first time i took my boat for a change. it wasnt a good start though as i lost gps lock on the trolling motor and because of that i couldnt anchor, which was a shame cause i sounded up some real nice arches early in the day. eventually we got it to ...

Nice one mate! It can be a frustrating game, that's fore sure.

O know the feeling
Happy for u bud
