Twinfishers

Dear all

Have moved to Karratha about a year ago and I am thinking about the Wesbster twinfisher. Spoke to J Burgess and he loves his. Anybody out there been there and done it.

Yes i have the same idea Brad, but the better half is as much of a fishing nut as me but gets wobbly legs when the boat is still, ie stability is everything!!

Go the center console models

Fri, 2008-10-31 18:58

Go the center console models if fishing is going to be it's main use, they certainly are a good stable, capable rig. Thats spot on Irish.

Never been in one but I hear

Fri, 2008-10-31 19:18

Never been in one but I hear the twinfisher CCs are pretty wet, perhaps even wetter than monohulls, which makes the runabouts models a bit more popular.

I've ridden in a fair few monohulls and the difference is negligible. I wouldn't say that they are any more wetter than equivalent sized mono hulls.

My mate had a 4.9m runabout

Sat, 2008-11-01 06:52

My mate had a 4.9m runabout when I lived in SA and it was a awesome inshore boat. He had a full set of clears and canpoy, when it was rough (15-20kts)and the sea was to the sides a bit of spray landed on the clears but you stayed dry. Heaps of room, planed so easily, VERY stable and an all round good fishing boat. He had a 90hp Yammy on the back and would easily get above 30kts. Probably wouldn't want a smaller motor if you're carrying a few blokes and gear but a 75hp would be as low as I'd go.
If you're chasing the ability to fish from the bow the windscreen can be opened (as for anchoring) and you can cast from the gap. Pretty good compromise over a CC I reckon.

Clears

Sat, 2008-11-01 10:11

Whats the point of having clears if you don't take them with you BRAD!! 2.25 hours without clears into a northerly going to the murions ISNT FUN.  Definately have to go walkaround, big big big advantage for any type of fishing up north.
