We went at the end of November and weather was mint!

thanks for the heads up we might try that next time

Thanks for your kind words! The military has now paved a lot of it but there is still big sections of dirt road.

There was a little ‘editing magic’ involved to make it more entertaining but the situation was real. We hit the rocks with the boat just in gear but the waves pushed us into the other rocks, we then got stuck and were very close to being there for a good 6hrs or more. I’m glad you liked the video, we have some more stanage content coming if you want to subscribe 👍🏻

There was a little ‘editing’ to make it exciting but yes mistake were made 🤦

Thanks for the kind words. We were getting cut off by the reef, if your not quick enough the trout can get back in their homes and cut you off.

When you get them at about 40cm long they are great on the chew!

I will admit mistakes were made 😂

@@FishSource all good lads Ep2 was great 👍

@@simonkiegerl7061 thanks for watching! I'll admit we aren't the best crabbers but we sometimes get lucky and find fish.

Coffs is fantastic for both yes but we don’t get coral trout or other northern species here in Coffs. This day the weather wasn’t great offshore so our backup plan was crabbing. Watch the next episode and you’ll see why we went north!

@@FishSource I live in Rockhampton. Fish out around the Keppels, never caught a coral trout ever. As for crabs, I go to Yamba every Christmas as the crabbing there, Mud and sandcrabs is way better than anything I can find around Central Qld. NSW also has spanish mackerel. I cant find these off yeppoon anywhere.

@@AnthonyLeavey-j1q I can't speak for Rocky but there's a heap of trout off the islands around stanage, watch our second episode (and the rest) as we find a lot of trout! We don't really travel up north to catch the same stuff we get here so we don't usually chase crabs or spanish macs. But I agree the mid north coast is a fantastic location for all fishing!

@@FishSource Still a bit far to the islands for my 4m boat. I cant afford a bigger one as I don't work in mining or construction. So i'm restricted to about 15km

Yeah a bigger boat does help! I took my boat once and it was 4.6m, did hexham, marble and percy in some pretty windy and wet weather but we made it. Not sure i'd try in a 4m boat though!

100% agree 😂 not the best situation. The next trip we did up there we all bought shoes!

@FishSource sorry forgot to say new sub here too! Yew 🤙🏽

Thanks heaps! We also have a new video every Friday at 6:30pm for the next four weeks! 5 total for the Stanage Bay Trip 👍🏻

We only crabbed because the wind offshore was too strong, the next episode we spent offshore and it was awesome.

Its definitely very very very overrated

Yes we use relief shading but it doesn't have estuaries. Afterwards we did noticed its marked as a hazard on the normal maps, we honestly just didn't check it. Our biggest problem was the rocks were not out of the water when we hit them and the rocks out of the water were about 20m away. Really just a poor decision all round.

As Dayne said they were almost done because they were worn out. We would have been heading home after dark!

Old Vonny that used to be at the bait and tackle shop had hand drawn maps of all the rock bars. Look on google earth and you’ll see them all, then picture the tide 6 metres lower and there are rocks everywhere.

We tested it to 50m that day. I’ve been told it will work over 70m upto about 120m from memory.

Keep an eye out on Facebook Market place 😉

Yes it will but we have tried at slow speeds using the electric motor

It is just long enough on Daynes 4.95m boat. He is however getting the new Kraken model that has a longer shaft. They just came out and would be worth a look!

I will Lotte!

Hi Mark, we use the Robbie Payne Live Scope pole, you can find it here www.transducerpoles.com.au/options/garmin-transducer-poles/

@@FishSource sweet thanks! Does it bang around when cruising offshore or do you have to take it off the rail when underway?

@@kane1928 we were driving very slow when looking for fish, basically just in gear and it would angle a little bit if not really tightened up. Remember it’s on a Ram mount that can move. Once tightened and just in gear it was ok though. I have seen it permanently mounted at the back on American boats and they said it’s works fine. I like the Ram mount because you can move it around to better aim it at fish.

Sorry I didn't really answer your question lol. It didn't bang for us, we loosened the Ram mount, pulled it out of the water and then retightened.

Its next level!...We used the normal Live scope at Monduran for barra and it was great, this is the one made for salt / deeper water and it was super helpful to find where the fish were!... Next we want to dial it in deeper water and try it on pelagics.

@@FishSource for sure keen to see it

I've been thinking about how this could apply to pelagics with perspective mode looking forward while trolling 😍

@@FishSource Or even have it facing out the back watching your spread of lures or live baits being trawled behind the boat & seeing pelagics come in for a look or byte 🤯

@@NorthCoastBoatingCentre Great idea!

Mad video Dayne and fish source crew ! (I'm guessing it wasn't Dayne who put it together, no offence!)

You would be correct Jordan but Dayne's skill shines in front of the camera and spotting fish on live scope for the rest of us to catch! 😆

Wasn’t even that close, it’s a fair way from the sanctuary. We were hoping it was bigger than 91cms as that’s Dale’s longest but he thinks it felt heavier that fish. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Thanks Tom!

🍻

It hurts the wallet! 🤣🤣

Hey Jason, Its called Relief Shading and its available on all good sounders. You can get it as a download from Navionics Platinum cards, C-Map Reveal Cards or Garmin Bluechart G3 cards which is what your seeing in the video. I'll be honest its great!... but it still needs more mapping. It shows the shelf really well and most inshore reefs but some middle to deep ground before the shelf isn't mapped yet.

Thanks mate it was the best weekend!
