    bjorn2fish reacted to __matt__ in Battery powered aerator   
    I have been through a few aerators now and the best one I've had for the cash so far has been one of the jarvis walker ones. Unlike most things with their name on it, its been really good. It's just over a year old and still going strong. Been dunked a couple times but the gasket seperating the two halves of the body and sealed switches seemed to do the job and it hasn't shorted or shat itself. Battery life is good, and terminals haven't started to corrode yet (again probably because of the gasket). The plastic of the body itself is pretty sturdy, its been smacked around and dropped/stepped on heaps of times and is still sweet. The cord that comes with it is long enough (aerator I had before this one was way too short) and doesn't leak air. That's one of the biggest things I've found with cheap aerators is if the tube is too hard it doesn't seal and air leaks. Only main criticism is that it kinks because its so soft but aside from that I reckon you couldn't go far wrong with it. Reckon it was about $15 bucks.Here's the link;http://www.jarviswalker.com.au/tec-2-speed-aerator.html

    have had a couple of jarvis walker ones in the past and personally would not buy another. from the start the amount of air coming out was pathetic couldnt keep about 20 small trumpeters alive in an esky for twenty minutes .have just bought one from ebay (12v adapter plus 2 batteries) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260682960758amount of air pumped is great on 12v and batteries keep trumpeters alive and happy all day on jetty (about 5 hours) without any noticable drop in air supplyas to the issue of only being able to use d and not rechargeable batterieshttp://www.thebatterywizard.com/prod52.htm we have used these successfully in lots of devices from kids toys to torches and work well most battery type places should have or be able to get them

I bought the canoe second hand Des , and most of the mods are in my photos .Bjorn2fish and Bluegoose , the camera i use is a GO PRO HERO HEADCAM which is actually advertised on this site between or at the end of pages . I got mine through my wifes work , which are about $340 i think . Top camera 10m drop resistant and 30m water proof . Highly recommended . Yes Ranger she is a keeper and considering she took 3 years to land I'm not about to throw her back . Banger , yes i did have to mention it but knowing my luck Sian will probably catch the meter plus before me . Aldingabeachfisho , hopefully i wont need them netting skills but you never know . Rooney , it was good to catch the fish before dark and the video turned out heaps better . With the foot controls i had looked into it but it was going to be almost double and i'm a cheep b:c d . What you dont see in the video Samboman is the five minutes of footage i have off me breathing it before release and almost ripping my arm off ( and me swearing at it) so i new it was time to release but mrs JJ was taking photos . cheers every one jimbo

    bjorn2fish got a reaction from afishyfish in Fishing phone apps...   
    Not sure how iPhone and Android apps work but I know alot of Windows Phone 7 apps use Online maps, bing and google maps etc which are loaded dynamically not stored as far as I know. So every time you use them they would use data.Also depends how your phone gets it's GPS data. Different phones/apps get their data using different systems... Can be GPS or AGPS (Assisted GPS using data from phone networks). My dad's iPhone was cranking through his data with his AGPS app until he got a different app using standard GPS.As long as you know how your app gets its data you'll be right.
