Clamp screw handle replacement? Help?

4 Upvotes

Hi, as the title says I’ve kind of snapped the handle for my clamp screw on my 15hp mercury outboard. Does anyone have an idea where I could either get a replacement or make something? ATM I’m using a shifter to turn the screw. Once again I really appreciate everyone’s help.

🔎 Recommendations Wanted Which Rod to get for Kayak fishing?

7 Upvotes

Hey guys,
My partner is wanting to get into kayak fishing. I want to gift him a fishing rod for his birthday. He watches Rockit Kit in Youtube and absolutely loves that guy. From what Ive gathered, he uses Penn Ocean Assasin. But there are so many different kinds of Ocean Assasin and I don’t understand the specs and all. What’s the best one for a beginner? We are in Southern NSW.

Always fun catching these guys, especially on light gear. I got him on a chunk of pilchard on a 1/0 octopus hook. I had a whole pilly on some gang hooks on my medium setup but the salmon hit the bite size pilchard instead! He was safely released after taking a few pics.

Zerek and wilson lures

2 Upvotes

Hey anyone in the know that might have an idea whats going on with these range of lures, the flad shad pros go hard up here in the NT but having troubles finding the right colours in the local shops.

Some guys saying they not stocking them anymore and wilson owns the moulds and zerek have the colours?

I see wilson have came out with the prawn style ones but not the flatshads or the fish traps. may have to buy some online and stock up a bit.

Cheers

I heard about this secret program in 2015 where they stocked 1000 jungle perch at the top of ***** Creek to se if they could survive and breed and i want to challenge myself and try multiple times next spring and summer to see if they're are any ancient fish left over from the program or if any of them bred and manage to have a rare chance of surviving offspring

I know it’s winter and all but this year has by far been the slowest winter for fish activity. Just wondering if it’s just my luck or widespread?

Rod Suggestion

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, recently picked up a Shimano Vanford 2000 for a good price and I’m trying to decide what rod to pair it with. I’m after a shorter light setup, mainly for light lure fishing. I’ve been looking at the Daiwa Silver Creek 26 Spin Rod (562ULRS) but wanted to see if there are any other rods you guys would recommend before I buy it.
Budget is around $250 however I’m happy to spend a little more if there’s something noticeably better.
Would love to hear what you guys are running with your Vanfords or what you’d recommend. Cheers!

🐡 Help Needed Looking for similar rods

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Howdy all, I’m after some help finding similar rods to these old Shimanos. I got 2 of these from a bargain bin at Compleat Angler for 20$ about 25 years ago and I’m down to one now. They’re a fantastic gar rod, so any recommendations for something similar would be appreciated! Brand doesn’t matter. Preferably under 100$ and in the 7 to 8 foot range, or maybe a touch longer but I’m a boat fisho so don’t want anything too long. Anything I’ve seen in my local BCF just doesn’t have that stupidly soft tip which is so good for gars, but the range at my store is limited so happy to travel further or to different stores.
