Hiring a tinny at mornington

Post by bigwatkins » Wed Nov 19, 2014 8:24 pm

Hey all. Ive hired a tinny for a few hours on saturday morning.

Just wondering if anyone has been fishing there recently?

Are there still squid around? Any whitings? Or should i just target my first big red?

Cheers guys

Cant fkn wait to get back out on the water

Are you going alone? Is it hard if you are by youself in terms of keeping the boat steady and getting your rods ready?

Thanks spudtrans

Im going with my brother on saturday but i have gone a few times by my self.

Its pretty easy the boats are stable, just dont jump
Around and only run 2 maybe mac 3 rods at once and you should be fine.
