I dropped 4 pots round mud island a couple of days ago... only thing I saw with claws was a really good sized jenny which of course went back. Some days are diamonds, some days are donuts.
To improve the horrible feel of the remote buttons, fill the button cavities with epoxy, it removes the squishy feeling, and makes the remote feel as good as a minn kota remote. The heading sensor puck is also a must imo.
Looking like a reasonable choice, once you factor the price difference in. I don't mind replacing a module or two myself... and at several thousand less than the competitors it's a no brainer. Was leaning toward the motorguideds just becauser I have a Lowrance sounder and they'll network together, but I can't see me really wanting to control the motor from the sounder when I have a remote for it.
@@SandmannOZ Yeah the price definitely lures people in. One guy commented saying he’s had it for three years with no problems so I think it’s just unlucky if something goes wrong.
@@jradventures693 If every second one was having problems they'd be out of business by now. Like usual you only tend to hear about the bad ones, the good ones go uncommented.
Use Cruise Control mode for better speed control... you can adjust speed by 0.2kmh. Use course or bearing mode to track along a bank when fishing. I didn''t do this when I first got mine, recommend taking the time to learn how to use these modes it makes it so much easier to fish, I now use it all the time. The GPS module also makes a huge difference. It should be part of the motor and not an additional accessory.
@@trevorho9589 We appreciate the tips, I’ll try it out next time. Thank you for commenting, I hope people watching also read your comment to get some more info. I might look into getting the module. Thanks again, Josh.
Thanks for the review on this mate. I’m one of the guys that’s asked about it in your other videos. I think I’m sold on the water snake too. They seem like a solid choice for the price even with a few issues
@@chalkelectrical1795 No worries mate, I hoped it helped you out. Yeah go for it. Another guy commented saying he’s had it for 3 years with no problems at all so.. I guess it’s just unlucky if something happens.
Part of the whole ecosystem, just like earth worms. Everything works together. WE need the best bait to use in all areas, off land, in boats, in estuaries & surf, all SPECIES…..LOVE eating beach Worms. You never have to wait long for a big bite, using beach worms 👍🏻✔️
Well done guy's a good video to watch , the pillies you bought looked great, something to try instead of putting your hooks through the side of the bait bring them up from under and put the top hook in the jaw of the pillie, they look better in the water and you get a good hook up, PS I also troll them the same way. Again love the vid, and a top crew. Cheers Chris
Tough one with those bloody sharks that’s for sure. How’s the water snake going too? Is this its first issue it’s had? What was the problem do you know yet? I’m thinking about getting a water snake gps too very soon as their price is hard to beat. I’d probably use mine maybe 2 times a month weather permitting
@@chalkelectrical1795 It’s been good for about a year but the last month I’ve had a couple problems. First thing was I lost steering which ended up being the turning motor and second thing was the gps module. It was playing up and not staying in position. The Customer support is pretty good but they just end up sending you a new part to replace so if your not to handy with the tools then it might be an issue. We’ve used it a lot though probably more then your average fisho. I hope this helps, Josh.
@@jradventures693 thanks mate. Really appreciate that honest review on it. One of my mates has had his fair share of issues with his minn kota too (his was double the price of a water snake) so I’m just not sold that more expensive is better at this point. He also uses his a few times a week so had to say hey! Cheers mate
@@chalkelectrical1795 No worries mate. Yeah I’ve heard of some problems with the Motor Guide as well regarding the remote. There quite expensive as well. I feel like it’s just luck if you get a good one or not haha.
I enjoy your videos simply because we see a different view of these areas even when in Moreton bay it was always different angles. Or. Perspective . Thanks
Better luck next time mate, bloody sharks! going to go out on a limb here and say an early congrats by the looks, hopefully I am right and haven't made a fool of myself, keen to see how your homemade lures go, cheers Jay
never move a fish backwards in the water, it closes the gills and you are making it a lot worse for the fish to recover. The baits work well so that is cool:)
We dropped four crab pots at north stradbroke island in Moreton Bay and went and did some fishing we went back to check our pots and the tide was going so fast it pulled the float so hard it dragged the crab pot with it so we lost the pot and never found it again
Well done Guys, good to see a few fillets for the table, keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one, P.S the Bro has been a bit quiet also, hope all is good, cheers Jay
Thanks mate. I’ve had good experiences with motor guide. That’s my brothers one and he hasn’t had any issues apart from the Anderson plug connection but that just needs cleaning. I do know one person who had issues with the remote. Was getting water inside.
