Overnighting in westernport

[melbfish]

fished westernport bay for 6 years most weekend up until few seasons ago mate if Corinella is on your way theres no reason why you shoudnt launch from there not a bad ramp.

[Nude up]

I have a haines 650 corinella no problem to launch there, I will be on the island next week my cousin is going back to perth monday and I still have a week off

Launched at corinella today, no problems but I'm a bit surprised at the $12 parking fee, seems a bit steep for a ramp with no floating jetty, and nothing to cushion the boat against the jetty.
Didn't get to use the cleaning tables but they seem pretty basic too.

Did almost get caught out on the way back in, very shallow if you go more than about 10m either side of the jetty!

Are all ramps parking fees this steep?

$12 is cheap compared to werribee $17 the same as altona. the advantage in launching at corinella is saves the drive to rhyll and the fuel to travel from the island to the warneet end of westernport. have you tried newhaven i find that it is too shallow i can not launch at low tide if the tides are right it saves the run from rhyll to get out to bass straight

Yeah been to newhaven once, didn't seem to shallow but I must have been there mid tide.

Got a parking fine there despite having a ticket displayed, haven't been back since.
(Fine voided after strongly worded letter and phone call haha).

Yeah I don't mind the corinella ramp but considering the traffic it must get I find it surprising it hasn't been upgraded. Plenty of room for a 3rd ramp haha
