yellow buoy there now....on the way out stay inside & close to the buoy.   also the ramp I used fri night had heaps of sand and I almost didn't get out even in 4WD.  Going to stick to Pt Peron even though my best spots are past coventry. 

on the postive picked up heaps of big skippy. a large foxfish & my first sambo which almost got me over the side before i got my belt on.  Beauty day for such a late start.

thanks wrass & Ben, i haven't used that ramp beacuse of the sand...i think Tern Island is causing the sand build up and the shallows.

I used to go out to coventry and the back of the sisters all the time but the ramp sux.

used the ramp when I had a smaller tinny and it sucks to have to launch out of peron to travel out to coventry especially when the winds are up like yesterday.  fished to almost sunset & on the way back actually had a wave break over the top of my 6.7 metre chivers!!!  wouldn't have looked forward to having had to go all the way back to peron but getting stuck at the ramp in wet sand after dark isnt any fun either.  That was definately my last launch at bent st.
