2Dans Fishing – Show 7 19th September 2010
Boat Bits – Don’t come up short this season.
With the water warming up around the country what better time to make sure our boats are fully equipped and ready to go. The interesting thing about fishing is that no matter what your fishing for or whereyour fishing that one small piece of equipment you forgot seems to be the key to the puzzle of fish catching. I’ll give you an example, for years I chased Jewfish out of my tinnie, I had a kit of gear that I would throw in the boat each time I went which included a small hand gaff. Unfortunately I had limited success and had never actually used the gaff, the fish I caught were not big enough to warrant it! One lazy afternoon I felt like some salt and pepper squid to go with my beer so off I went with some squid jigs in hand and a light rod, and out of habit also took a slightly heavier bait rod. After a good squid session I got stuck into the laborious task of cleaning the inkers. The first gut bait I pulled from the fresh squid tube went out on my bait rod while I cleaned the other squid. By now you probably have realized the end of the story so I wont go through the pains of that afternoon blow by blow, needless to say I lost the XOS jewfish I had been hunting for years because I didn’t keep one small piece of equipment in the boat, a hand gaff. I infact had it stored with my fishing gear….big mistake! Now I have a gear tub that is always ready and goes in the boat every time I fish even if I am only chasing goldfish from a bowl.
So here is the list of must have items for this season:
- Hand Gaff – for obvious reasons!!
- Net – Have you ever tried to land a large flathead without one…..your hands will never forgive you
- Handline orgy- a strange one I know but hear me out. If you have an enormous boat with many rod holders you probably have enough room to have outfits for everything rigged and ready to go, most people don’t own this boat. So handlines are a great option to tick a few of theses mandatory ‘rigged n ready’ outfits off the list. So a 6-8lb hnadline with a small bait hook for when the perfect bait fish come up the berley trail. A 20lb handline rigged with a squidjig for when they follow your baits to the boat. And an 80lb handline with a big hook on it for when the monster king appears behind the squid that just followed the bait up to the back of oyur boat
- Berley bucket and a berley bomb or as I have a small container which I just mush up bread and pillies in
- A spare bucket and rope – these are just so handy on a boat and almost as good as wd-40
- WD -40
- A baitboard (old bit of timber) and bait knife (old bit of metal)
-
They are all the essentials I have for my tinnie but here are some more elements that are great to have if you want to really make your boat a fishing weapon.
- As many rod holders as you can fit. I have called my tinnie the hedghog for obvious reasons.
- Live bait tank. Ideally a fully plumbed one or if you want to go the other end of the spectrum a fish bin or esky and a spare bucket combined with some elbow grease can do the job.
- Lowarnce sounder/GPS combo unit, these are amazing for fishing offshore
- Anchors – regular and para anchor
- Gimbal if your chasing bluewater species
- And a downrigger if you really want to make good use of those livebaits.
Remember thisw does not include all the safety gear which IS A NECESSITY without question. Check your local state based regulations for this. Have fun out there.

Like any game, when we stay within the rules, we score, and when we play outside the rules there of course is a penalty.
At the same time, web games seemed like the future of gaming, and we wanted to be a part of it.
If you want to be able to hit the ball further and harder,
you should keep in mind to keep your grip on
the bat loose, your swing should begin with your legs
and hips, and finally, you must always follow your bat through.

Say you're doing as well at Chemistry, and as you are doing at Maths Extension 2, then instead of splitting your study time equally between the two (just because they are both worth 2 units each), you should spend more time on Extension 2, simply because it scales higher. t love the unself-conscious little boy or girl, the undaunted miniature explorer who moves with unbridled enthusiasm to experience life.
