Sweet tin. Ive got an old 14ft trimcraft im trying to modify.just need the missus to let me pull the trigger on a mig.doubt the rivets will hold up.your well area at the transom gave me a gd idea. I can get stuff fabbed like gunnels and floor braces as middle seat doesnt want to have any more butts on it, just need a welder. Cmon wifey let me out to play😅😅😅😅
Just wondering about those scope mate is worth saving for.. hope you had a sneaky fish there too mate one of my favourite creek to fish and the little reefs are not bad either out the front
Hey mate, cheers for the video plenty of good ideas & info. Any idea where you got that fold out cup holder? I like the Harpax jigheads, have to be the best I've come across.
Ive had my similar size tinny for a similar amount of time. I bought new but I could easily spend $10-20k to make it better. Electronics, trailer upgrades, rod holders and storage, the list goes on.
Love your run down of your rig. Just moved back here after 25yrs. I have a 4.1m Ally craft and a 5.75m cruise craft. Only thing missing is some good marks, and hints as to where I can start looking 50~60km offshore?
I rarely fish marks these days, get your sounder setup so it reads at speed and drive over contour lines on your chart to find new spots every trip. All the good marks are loaded with sharks these days 😅
Hey man you’ve come a long way from the days of fishing under the tally back highway bridge 😁🐸, be good to see you again one day, I’ve learned a heap from watching your vids brother, thank you 😁
G'day Mick, Like the setup. ? The fold away drink holder, Where did you get it from please I can' find one like it with the stainless pin through the pivot point Cheers Stevo
Great vid mick. Super thought out. Love it. Quick question. You said you were in the surf industry on the goldy. So I’m guessing you are a surfer also. Living up north now do you surf much at all still ? Or has fishing just replaced surfing for you? I ask because I’ve grown up surfing on the Gold Coast and since I started fishing 5 ish years ago I barely think about surfing at all. Never thought I would stop surfing when I was growing up but now all I think about and do is fish. Funny how it works hey. Jacks have left me shaking harder than any barrel I’ve ever had hahahah 🤙🤙🔥🔥
Still get out surfing when there’s swell, usually cyclone season but fishing has all but replaced my surfing addiction… I used to fish a lot when I was surfing also though..
@@geoffstein3896 yeah man it’s a good thing! I used to do a lot offshore in it when I got it, but I do have a second bigger boat for dedicated offshore stuff.
@Micksgonefishing thanks for that mate. I have a glass boat that needs some work so was looking at one of these to fill the void while I work on the other boat, but I do like offshore fishing so if I could do a bit on the good days that would be great
Sweet set up,I got an old quinny I'm setting up so thanks for the walk through, cheers.
No problem 👍 glad ya liked it 🍻
Looking good I wish I had a tinny like that
Thanks mate, this has been a real project to get it dialed as I worked out what I wanted. Just chip away and upgrade as you can 👌🏻
Thanks
No problem, thank you 🙏🏼
Very Nice setup Mate. Looks great.
Thanks 👍
Hey mick like the little upgrades . You've got lures there than your shop you work at
Haha yeah there’s a bit going on 😂😂
Mint set up mate
Thanks man 🍻
Gee, I remember watching when you first bought the boat looking good mate
Thanks mate!! She’s done some work since then!
Good set up mate
Thanks mate ✌🏻
Great video Mick but what size motor are you running
60 Yamaha with a 70 gearbox
Great vid mate !
Thanks!

It’s worth the money, but it doesn’t make fish jump in the boat, it’s another skill that needs to be mastered before it’ll improve your fishing…
Hey mate, cheers for the video plenty of good ideas & info. Any idea where you got that fold out cup holder? I like the Harpax jigheads, have to be the best I've come across.
It’s the original one from Telwater that came with the boat! And yeah Harpax are the bomb!!

It doesn’t end does it 😅😂

Holy shit! Frog man, stoked you found me bro! If you’re up here one day hit me up
You forgot to give us a rundown on the rod locker it’s set up nice👌🏻
I realized that 😅 but I did cover it in a previous video when I did the first lot of mods 👌🏻
Yeah that’s all good man I seen that they’re a sick boat I bought mine because of your first review cheers
Hey Mick, is there a particular model of Invicta Lithium that you used/recommend? Also how did you go with insurance with the lithium’s?
Just the old 100 amp hour invicta mate, haven’t updated insurance yet 😅
Hi Mick , where did you say we can get the Minn kota remote holder from please
Dinkums_world on insta 👌🏻
The man!
Love the set up, just to clarify.. youd rather not have a welded side mount console to have your sounder on, UHF flush mounted into etc?
Nah ya lose space with any console and I can maneuver the boat better in tight places as tiller steer…
No I completely agree, I’ve decided tiller but more of a sounder box rather then a side console if that makes sense?
Farrr out those self centering rollers. Where do ya get those? Its a nightmare trying to load solo in abit of current
Bucket mouths are awesome. I have 2
They’re the best tackle system going hey!!
Ive pretty much got the exact same setup but on a 3.5m tinny and 10” instead of 16”.
Can’t complain with that aye 👌🏻
@ i can because i just stripped it out to get the hull cracks welded up 😂😂 definately push it hard.
G'day Mick, Like the setup.
? The fold away drink holder, Where did you get it from please
I can' find one like it with the stainless pin through the pivot point
Cheers Stevo
This was the factory one from Telwater 👌🏻
@@Micksgonefishing
Thanks Mick,
Cheers
What is the shaft length on your Minn Kota?
60”
Mick - please tell us where you got that Minn Kota bracket. I really want to order one snap to it. Thanks.
Dinkums_world on insta bro, he will make it when you order
MICK. Does the min Kota cable deteriorate over a couple of years? As the motor guide only has lasted three years. ?
Nah I haven’t had any problems with deteriorating, they just stretch from bouncing if they’re not looked after

Hey mate, are you still rating the boat, you much if any offshore fishing? New to your channel so you probably do. Cheers mate
@@geoffstein3896 yeah man it’s a good thing! I used to do a lot offshore in it when I got it, but I do have a second bigger boat for dedicated offshore stuff.

What’s the tackle tray that was in the side pocket with all the lures in it called. I can’t find it
It’s a versus bucketmouth stocker 👌🏻
does the Mickybird have better transducer side scan or no?
It was slightly better in the shallows but not enough to change me back just yet, I’ll change if I feel like I’m missing out.
What's the minimum amount of water you need Mick?
It planes in 30-40cm and then I can skull drag it through around half that 👌🏻
Very nice set up. Was the rodlocker part of the original build
Yes it was, it’s the factory rod locker 👌🏻
@Micksgonefishing Cheers
$$$
Yep 😅 but have you seen my other boat 😂
Hey Mick, Please tell me where you got your Minn Kota remote holder bracket. Thanks.
My mate makes them, he is Dinkums_World on instagram, hit him up ✌🏻
