new dinghy

Well my brother and I finally chipped in to get a slightly larger boat than the tub to take up to Exmouth tomorrow. We ended up with a 12 footer which was in pretty average cosmetic form, however made it up with reliability. We took it out on Monday arvo to test it out after we had added a new bung, 9 hod holers, a bait board, a glove box, a cleat and heaps of smaller things. It handled the mix of massive tidal swell and 80ft Sunseaker wake and got us out the heads and into the calm open ocean,

We left the heads around 4 so we didn’t have much time for travelling so we just stayed off north mole. To catch some bait for exxy and let my g/f catch a few squid. The weather was perfect and the fish were seriously on the bite and after half an hour we headed back to the ramp with a decent bag of bait and a few nice size squid.

When we get back home I think we'll treat her to a fresh coat of paint, and then a gps/sonar, sound system and a flat floor.

Cheers Miles

All looks the part and inshore it is all you need, and if the days is good even could venture a little further, but with care.

Cheers and have fun

If the conditions are good I can put you onto some great fishing off the ocean side - beach launch through light surf / wave action - big spanglies, trout, cod, spaniards and even the occasional billy which is real fun out of a tinny.

But only if the swell is down !
