Yes it was. Thanks for watching. Cheers Z

Thanks mate … long time no speak. No cuda on this trip. Only gemfish and the blue eye. Or were you referring to the old rig - barrycuda?

@@zk8241 Yes been a while, hope all is well with you & the family. No just me getting my species & video's mixed up 🙄. But I have heard the cuda do make great bait? Enjoy the fish, especially that blue eye, such a great eating fish 🙂

Thanks Antony. It was M that did the good work!

Thanks Ian .... if you look at some of my other vids you'll see I fished Browns for many years with an Alvey King, great upper body workout ! ... In my youth I've even done it with my Penn overheads ... but only managed 6 drops ... 700 lifts of a 2.5kg sinker to change the bait was just too much 😅 .

@@zk8241 🤣🤣💪💪💪

Actually on plastic!! 😂… my first ever hairtail were caught at FnS … 6 on livies at top of incoming tide 1988 … they were still there last week 😂

@@zk8241 Would have thought they wouldn’t like the current , I have caught them in Jerusalem bay but my mate got one in the mouth of Cowan in January.

Top of tide … current slows. Yes caught many in Jerusalem and Cowan. But in January I caught one 3km offshore drifting for flatties ! They’ve been prolific this year.

@@zk8241 Definitely has something to do with the floods , I have never seen so many Mulloway in the Hawkesbury and they’re still there mid winter .

Thanks Ian. We’ve been boating for decades so included space and access for storing a large lump of boat as key requirements when looking for a home. Helps when the wife is a boatie! Cheers

Hi C.B. I personally don't fish with it... my wife does as she has arthritis in her hands - this reel helps keep her fishing 👍. She has landed a 4.5ft Mako with it. The reel holds 440m of 40lb braid and has 10kg drag.

Thanks Adrian… it had to be a special rig to replace barrycuda. This one ticks all the boxes. Hope you’re well mate. Cheers Z

Thanks TG. Interesting. What is the issue with pumping? I can understand there is no need to pump my bigger Tanacom Bulls which have 27kg of drag (they are more like a winch), but the little Banax is constructed very much like a small overhead reel. Would you grind in a fish with a small overhead or pump it up?? Anyway, the Banax has held up well with how my wife uses it - pumped up a 4.5ft mako recently no issues. Cheers Z

@@zk8241 because u loose more fish by pumping by pulling the hook out as I said ask a charter boat that specializes in deep drop fastest way to loose the fish

Here we’re fishing 60m … not deep dropping. My wife has arthritis in hands but loves fishing. The small electric removes the need to wind but everything else remains the same. The reel was not designed to skull drag - you use it just like other small overheads. When we deep drop around 500m with the tanacoms then agree 100% - no pumping.

Because, when people pump, they tend to drop the rod tip before they wind, leaving slack line. Most electric reels will do a far better job of keeping the line tight than any angler when used as intended

I think you have answered your own question - you are supposed to wind as you drop the rod tip (taking up the slack line) then you pump up ... that's exactly what the electric is doing !!! ... it is switched on - winding line - the moment you lower the rod tip - line is wound on the spool - no slack line.

I recorded this video for a mate who wanted to know how loud the new 4 stroke was. If you watch to the end you'll see 70km/h at 5800rpm from memory. The ride and offshore handling are exceptional - I often fished the shelf and took the family on whale watching trips from Sydney to Avoca. The150 delivered a 4second hole shot and the top speed that I recorded was 74km/h at around 5900rpm. If you want insight into ride I suggest you check out my other videos. Also refer to the following post for all the stats on performance and fuel consumption : www.fishraider.com.au/topic/91455-repower-of-haines-635l-with-mercury-150hp-proxs-4stroke/

Yep and you get a cleaner flush. Cheers

Thanks... It was a great rig... now with a new owner up in Mackay !! Cheers

Outboard motors exhaust through the propeller. When used in the water, the propeller is submerged and the surrounding water acts as the sound baffle. I have used that principle. The Muffler is just sewer pipe, pushed into the propeller exhaust and held in place by bungee straps. Look at the video starting 0:26. You will see that the water hose is connected to both the earmuffs (providing cooling water to the motor), and also to the Muffler. The water fills the Muffler - and that column of water acts as the sound baffle as the exhaust gasses bubble through the water - just like what happens when the motor is in the water. I have screwed a plastic cap ontop of the sewer pipe, to prevent the exhaust gasses expelling all the water when the motor kicks over at start up. After starting, the motor settles to a much lower, and more consistent idle RPM which is not strong enough to expel the water in the pipe.

@@zk8241 Thank you so much for replying, this helps a lot! Very much appreciated :)

Thanks Adrian. Was a while ago now. Cheers

Coz the world doesn't revolve around you ! BTW, I notice you have ZERO video contributions on your channel, so I'll just take your reply here as having the same ZERO cred. Get a life !

Bahaha... spoken with such conviction and credibility by an armchair troll with zero original content. Enjoy your day loser.

You know nothing about me odd job muffle man.

Well I know that you have no original content, have made no effort, hence have no credibility to make judgmental comments … back to your cave troll … until you learn some respect

Yes we can all laugh now !

Hi. Thanks. No real issue, I use a hose garden sprayer (shower head type) to wash down the boat and trailer after each trip. During that process I open the anchor hatch and run water over the chain, rope and winch - this runs out through the anchor well drain. Having said that, most of my anchoring is when fishing in 50-60m offshore (>100m of rope out) so very little mud. When I anchor in estuaries (mud) they are much shallower and I typically only have 20-30m of rope out - so its the top few layers of rope on the drum which are easy to rinse with hose. If I'm not happy with result, I just pull off that rope, wash and rewind. The Stressfree winch is waterproof and the manufacturer recommends a fresh water rinse after use and an occasional spray on the exposed faces with WD40. Cheers

Thanks !

Thanks Fab ! ... missed the marlin but deep drop saved the day.

Can't disagree at all ... wish they had more plant based options though 😋 !!

Glad it helps. These Haines are a great offshore hull ... no wonder they are considered classics. Cheers Z

It was a custom job completed about 5yrs ago. The guy is no longer in that line of work as far as I know as he told me mine was the last one. Cheers.

@@zk8241 bugger that's a shame, thanks for the info all the same, great to see the same boat ripping along. I've got 225 on the back and it's amazing, see you out on broken bay maybe?

@@lancejansen7378 I had a 225 Yam 2st, then went to 200 Merc EFI 2st, and now the Merc 150 4st ... with the 150 I have halved my fuel bill and have better performance up to 60km/h ... BTW, I'm on www.fishraider.com.au/ with all my fishing posts. This video was made for a fishraider colleague who wanted to know how loud the new 150 was. Cheers Z

It's no different than the motor being in the water I don't see what harm anything

Yes of cause mate. Very bad idea. Anchor well must be sealed off completely away from cabin

Yes wait until u take a greenie over the wave . Very bad idea to have an open bow. In a closed off cabin. Thats how many ships sink through the chain locker doors left open. U will get caught one day. ! Centre console is centre console. They are either flush deck . Or a good bulge system. Csbons are ment to stay dry . Eindows are for air vent.

My concern as well.

@@zk8241 bit of water doesnt matter, thats what boating is for, if people dont like water, stay on land

zmk1962 Haha, yes I know but I couldn't resist my fun comment. Cheers
