Not so new, new guy
Hi all,
Been a member now for a month or so, haven't had the time to sit down and say Hi yet, there's some great reading for sure ...
I don't have a fishing or boating background so it's been a hard slog to get this far; I've been fishing freshwater since my late teens and bought my first boat in 2007. Recently upgraded to the Revival from a 32yr old Mustang half cab and love the confidence she brings to my boating efforts.
My wife can't always make it, and the lad's just got his P's so there's often a seat or 2 free if anyones interested ... I'm into long walks by the beach, puppies and sunsets ...
I'd love to try some offshore fishing sometime but really ... I just love being out on the water :victory:
Thanks for having me and talk to you all again soon.

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish

Welcome aboard captain, I also like long walks by the beach, puppies and sunsets although I like sunrises much more especially when I'm on the ocean.Geoff Walledge wrote:Hi all,

Heading over to Hastings tomorrow, wife in tow and maybe the lad. The tides don't fit with some afternoon plans so we can keep our launch to gentlemans hours at least.

Re: Not so new, new guy
Trying for some whiting but who know's what else will have a chomp. Taking some pillies, Pippies and a bit o' squid. 1/0 to 3/0 hooks. We'll be fishing the incoming tide.rb85 wrote:Should be a nice day on the water what are you targeting?
Figured I'd start North of Lysaghts and make my way down thru 3 or 4 marks to Tortoise Head before heading back around midday.
