Safety Bay-Bent Street Ramp. Just about closed in with Tern Island.
Submitted by Moking on Thu, 2013-08-22 18:12
Just giving the heads up,as I've seen boats all this week getting stuck when leaving the boat ramp/jetty.
Tern Island has just about closed in on the RH side/corner as you are leaving the jetty, it's that shallow that you will need to get out and push your boat off the weed banks/sand.
Those in the know are turning left(port)when you depart the jetty,and are following in very close along the shoreline until you get past the weed bank,then head out.
I wonder when the so called dredging is going to start?

Yes-That was me pushing the
Yes-That was me pushing the Ski off the weed bank,as the jetpump clogged up with weed.
I thought I would do the right thing and try to give that guy who was standing in the water fishing a bit of respect,and go out wide around him.(As Jetski's have such a bad image)
That didn't work to well,as it put me on the weed bank, I had to strip off and clear the weed out of the jetpump,the water is getting bloody cold!
It wasn't the best way to finish a great day out fishing.
