the wind was up when we were there so not much out side.

inside when the tide drops, jacks,samon,fingrmark,trevelly.

found the best if you can stay in one of the large pools once the tides out fishs best!

just have to wait till the tide comes back in to get home.

dont forget the sand fly repelent lol!!

profish, i added daul axel to the trailer (so now a tandem) also added a spare set of leaf spings on the front of the trailer.

the solid springs break esay if you push them on the corrigations (snaped one on the cape leveque road, what a pain!) lernt from that.just take it esay dont push it.

will be back there this august & cape leveque.great part of the would

easy launch an retreve with that boat an trailer,if no water there to retrive just push trailer into the water buy hand .

tye a rope around trailer and pull it up till you can secure it to your car.

the road into cape leveque is

Thu, 2011-06-30 11:51

the road into cape leveque is now 1/2 gravel sh%t and 1/2 bitumin. normaly they wont let you/advise against any think bigger than 6m towed in.

if you take it easy over the corrigations you would be right.

once at the cape is only beach launching , and at high tide can get quite boggy .low tide is hard as .(just use the run up to get through) all tiers including trailer down to 18psi.

or anchor your boat .
