1st Boat!
Submitted by beau on Thu, 2012-10-18 22:29
Yep thats right, the most seasick-prone person in the country has a bought a boat! Picked up this Bluefin Weekender 475 from a fellow FW member today. Went halves with a good mate and boy are we excited, we giggled like school girls all the way home with the boat in tow from Bunbury. Has been an exciting past 24hrs for myself after our offer on me and my partners first home was accepted just last night, Yay!
Ben and I will be heading out on Saturday morning from Woodies Point so come say Hi if you recognise the boat! We will probably have a blue bimini up.
Very exciting times ahead!!

ps. I'm still keeping the ski for solo/spur of the moment sessions so I havent totally joined the darkside, YET.

Good boat to start with mate, I have fished for years out of a simular sized rig and caught plenty of big fish, pick your days and head out, plus you know the sound pretty good so tight lines bro. Look forward to some picture and reports .

Nice Work
Good stuff Beau, only thing that will save the snapper now is the demersal ban, after that there as good as dead!
Have fun, I'll be heading out from Point Peron Sat AM, not likely to stray your way but good luck.
And my tip for the sea sickness = Ginger Nut Biscuits. At least when you spew it tastes good!

It's a good little boat mate and I'm glad it's gone to someone who will use it. I've drunk many a beer beside it!
