Re: New boat to fish portland vic?

And one more thing, size shouldn't matter. You want a strong hull that has cover at the front to keep you dry and a reliable powerful engine to bring you home quick if the weather turns.

Towing shouldn't be an issue. A 4L Falcon will tow a 6m boat without any problems whatsoever.
Storage as well, you can store it at a marina for about $350-$400 per meter per year

Re: Boat finance - Suggestions

Unfortunately I dont have a mortgage yet, so that is not an option.

Is that how majority of people I see at the boat ramp with big expensive boats afford them?

Boat finance - Suggestions

I've just sold my 14ft boat and I am in the market for a bigger one that I can take off-shore too. As I don't want to pay cash for a high value depreciating asset, I'll have to finance it. I have been given several quotes from various finance companies, however I am unsure if I am getting a good dea...

Re: french island

The only marine park is on the Northern part of the Island. You can fish anywhere else!

Westernport wind

Just wondering if anyone knows how to read the wind direction in Westernport and what wind provides the least swell.

I want to fish the Cowes - Cat Bay - Flinders area this week but unsure if I should head out there tomorrow (southerly) or Monday (northerly).

Re: Looking for regular fishing partner

That's why I bought a kayak. My mates who "like" fishing never want to come out and I have to break their b@lls to head out. I'm same age and my wife isn't into the water. Daughter is 3 and I've got another on the way.... We're doomed :rofl: I'm out west though... Like Vinh Yeah I've already had tw...

Re: Boat storage around Westernport bay?

Actually I've spoken to Yaringa marina and I reckon $2100 for a 6m boat is a VERY good deal. It ends up being $40 per week. If you go out on the water twice a week, thats $20 per trip. Considering boat ramp fees are around $15/day, as well as the fact that you waste more petrol towing the boat from ...
