North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

does any one here fish alone out of the boat if they can't find a deckie even if if going offshore?

Nah, I've never done it alone. But I think I'll have to start soon. I'm going on a 4 on 4 off roster in November and that means my fishing times wont always align to the mate's fishing times.

Good thing I have a sound system on board. Speaking of which. There has been a bit of chatter going around about music set ups. This is my set:

GME GR100 Radio Head and a couple of GME Waterproof Speakers. Then I have an MP3 player that is loaded up with a few of me favourite tunes. The MP3 Player has a built in FM Transmitter(FM Tx). So all I need to do is tune the Radio to the FM Tx and hey presto. This way I can keep the MP3 Player well protected in a cushioned and waterproof housing.

The speakers I use aren't nightclub quality but they do the trick when listening to the footy and a bit of background music while fishing. Sounds like Walkabout's Boat will be a party on water That's a good thing because he is about to sell the Party Pontoon ??:

Maybe when I save enough lunch money to afford the 7 Meter Pacific Sportfish Centre Cuddie, I'll have a pimping entertainment system

I do 90% of the time.Probably will be my undoing one day,but ah well. I usually go better when I'm by myself,as i keep moving,do my own thing,etc.Don't have to worry about what others want to do in the boat.When I take out others I tend to sit back a bit more and joke around,if I'm going to do that,I might as well be at the pub,haha.So if I'm fishing seriously,it's by myself generally.

yeah I used to go by myself all the time when I had my smaller boat but rarely do now with the bigger one ,a bit tricky at some ramps although I have a few times.
