I can answer that as l was
I can answer that as l was on the boat. A bloody long time. It helped being able to do 28knt on the way home. My first time fishing bunbury. Its a barron waste land out there and along way to the 50s.
Was good to find the fish for the miles travelled.
Dhu pics dont do it justice. Big fat fish.

1 km out = 1 meter Deep OFF Bunbury
Once your out about 10 to 15 km it works out about 1 for 1 so 35km = 35meters or there abouts as a guide.

The
scale damage is from the esky and also a bit of slime off of the King George. We had tried a few bits of ground on the way out but I've only been out from Bunbury a few times and we headed out so far cause id caught nice fish off of it before. What I would say is we fished the ground not any sort of large fish showings. Every time I've been out in close get a few pinks but heaps of undersized dhu's do only the odd size one but at least it looks good for the future . Unfortunately for me my company is moving me to Esperance so will have to start learning all over again.
