I go offshore in my 4.3 tinnie out of Lakes entrance It is an old quintrex with 30hp. The most i have onboard offshore is 2 but sometimes take 4 around the lake. One up, mine does 21knts about 19knts two up. Offshore it is rare to get a day you can do much over 15knts. That is fine really, 7-8nm off...

in my opinion, If this is your first time boating, i suggest go for aluminium. Quintrex 420 getaway (something like this)is something you should look at. Easy to launch and retrieve and quite stable on the water. Get one with yamaha 40 at the back. Normally smaller boat has lesser hour life, cleaner...

Hey all So I would say the lakes entrance fishing trip was a very successful trip to my standards. The main goal of this trip was to to get some prawns. And I did it!!! Yes they were tiny and just good enough to be used as bait, but it was bloody good fun trying to get them. I would highly recommend...

Took two grandies out to Nungurner. There was a break in the wind and rain. Lovely morning not as many boats out today. Dropped anchor and within a minute young Seth is onto a nice KGW. 33cm. Before I could get my rod in he had another. Very busy baiting up kids rods , dehooking fish and coaching th...

KGWs were on the sand in front of coastguard lakes this morning.

You get some mate

No I was just breaking mussels up and throwing them in the water. KGWs were schooling up to eat them. Water is getting much clearer now. Lots of fish in Cunningham arm at the moment

Left at 6am looking for KGWs. Went to the barrier. No bites. I only had squid with me as I forgot to get some prawns. Headed up to the south side of Flanagan's island. Half a doz boats there. Some catching some not. Another guy close by was getting a good bite on prawns. He was kind enough to give m...

I have a mate up the road a bit,who is a keen Fisher but hasn't every chased or caught a whiting in the lakes. Asked him last night if he wanted to come out today. So he did. Picked him up at 7-30am ,we were fishing just after 8am. By 5 past he had his first KGW. It was a bit slow for a start. A sma...

In my 60s now and ive had about 25 boats wood,glass and alloy. Best boat of the lot is the Quintrex 420 side console with a 40 hp 4 stroke I have now with the new blade hull.It out performs other alloy boats by far,I have a friend that has a bar crusher -I wouldnt rave about the ride in these guys -...

You need to come down to south side of Flanagan's Island. 18 good ones. Couldn't be bothered to stay for the last two as I would have been late to lunch. Couple of 1kg salmon in the mix. They put up a good fight on whiting gear. :o_0: 2mtr about 300 mtrs west of Fraser island. Prawns and squid. Burl...

Always up for a challenge, so got up early (for me at least) and motored over to the Fraser Island spot this morning, hoping to bag out on KGW for the first time. Sadly I missed the sunrise afloat by 30 mins and but was till over the target around 8am. 2 other boats were already in action close by, ...
