wagon as in stag or 4wd? got surf popper rig? good luck with it!! how many days you camping down there?

Stagea. If I can't find a box in time I'll be driving mates Land Rover troopie. Grabbing a couple of poppers tonight and some new line, 10-15kg should be fine yeah? what sort of rig setup would you suggest for beach casting?

We're leaving Thursday and coming back Tuesday :banana:

10-15 is fine. did you already get poppers...not just any old popper will do :closedeyes: get the geoff wilson surf popper rig if you havent already. and dont forget to change hooks.

got 18kms yesterday and today from cape riche and 30 from bremer bay. bloody boss booked me into jerramungup pub and not bremer. i was spewing. had all my gear packed ready. didnt have time to trek down there at all. im going down next week for a few days once most people go back to work. 3 days annual leave to get 10 off total :thumbsup:

the hook through the popper isnt the strongest but with a bit of drag usually dont have any dramas. they are well worth the effort. be funny as if your the only one in your group who cleans up. heard of heaps caught at cheneys beach right next to cape rich so you should have plenty around ya.

went to yallingup today but was blowing its ass off. couldnt see anything. went back to dunsborough and was calm. but only couple herring and no salmon. didnt see anyone else catching anything either. going to windy harbour for 3 days from thursday so hopefully hook into em

There was bugger all, fishing from the beach and the rocks all our group caught was a couple of small whiting and a baby flathead. Most of the time the wind was too crazy to cast into :(

'sok, learnt how to ride a quad instead :banana:

well last year couldnt have gone much worse. my first year in about 15,16 years i havent caught a Salmon. although after a mate lost one off his hook i jumped on it and caught it by hand :thumbsup:

heading down to Malimup this weekend for a look. friend saw salmon heads on the beach at Yeagurup at new years so must be a couple around. either way the beer will be cold :cheers:

have been using these poppers for the past 5 years with great success apart from the fact they are too weak sometimes. however i get about 19/20 on the popper and only 1/20 on gangs with mulies. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fishing-Surf-Poppers-10-Pack-Green-Rig-Master-Tackle-/270898384028?pt=AU_Sport_Fishing_Tackle&hash=item3f12cd4c9c

have just bought 6 blue and 6 pink of these new/bigger/stronger ones and they look awesome. good size and very strong hook compared. not available in green unfortunately. hopefully they will be just as good :thumbsup:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/6-X-New-Generation-Quality-Medium-Surf-Poppers-Fishing-Lure-New-Exciting-Colours-/110812431086?pt=AU_Sport_Fishing_Tackle&hash=item19ccef82ee

you know i do :merli:

Youll need 4wd, personal accomadation (Swag, tent, back of ute), fishing gear, 3 tanks of fuel, food for as many days as you plan to be there.

And beer is sacred! You can use another mans fishing equiptment, you may even sneak a slice of bread or 2 and a piece of bacon....but on that beach, you touch another mans brew...you may not leave the beach. Just sayin.

Ill keep you informed of dates once i know....but most likely, end March

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
