Hey Andrew I've been fishin for the last 3months on Norfolk Island, just got back 2 weeks ago, I caught 1 beeky in my mates boat and 1 in my boat.. looking forward to the next few months, I normally fish off the Central Coast or Port Stephens. I do sometimes go down long reef chasing reds and kings but not to often.. My tinny done the same as what you said, just split down the weld..thats why I ended up getting the Poly.. Might head down Browns in a few weeks, have to see what the weather does.. Cheers Matt
