Hi fellow fisher folk, just a short note to introduce myself. long time reader first time contributor. now i've got my baby (610 trailblazer from the good people at trailcraft) i'm hoping to be able to get out amongst fish like i've seen posted on here. still working on going out miles yet, 5 fathom is as far as i've got so far and no gps so a bit hit and miss but all good fun eh, plus it's my first boat and it didn't come with sea legs lol. this site rocks so hopefully i will have some pics to show soon. see you out there.

Well steve, we all start
Well steve, we all start somewhere. Was a while before we started to find fish, but I'm sure some SOR people will help you out with general Directions. Heard that South/west bank can fish good for mackies at the right time and further west of there you can start to find some good ground.
Other than that five fathom can fish good for pinks and dhuies if you know where to go or anchor and burley. South/west Rotto has some good spots but is probably heavily fished, went out with an angling club boat in that direction and did well on different species.

Welcome Aboard
G'Day Steve!
Welcome aboard matey. I'm south of the river too. VERY south though - Mount Barker - not much fishing water here - so we head out of Albany.
'The Five' can certainley be productive, just look around. You can always take bearings off identifying markers on your horizon. Caught plenty of fish off 'The Five' - good on the outside for trolling skirts etc and getting the lil 'Tna Song' on the reels. (Just look for 'bird sign' on the right day).
There's a unique combination of ample knowledge and a wilingness to unjudgementally help in here - so you'll be well looked after.
Tight Lines!
