After visiting and speaking to @frankS the boat will most likely be a bigger boat now. 4.5 - 5m would be the best bet. Looking at the new marine park planning proposal, it does not look that awful.
Regarding being locked out off headlands, some people seem to have misunderstood the markings and maps. There are only a couple of sanctuary zones (pink) and conservation zones (green) that will be locked off from both rec and commercial fishing. The blue zones which everyone is seeing red from will be fish able.

Next order can we a long sleeve UV projected option?

I didn't have any trouble finding it. Like I said just look in the table on the next page for each area (ie in the 2nd PDF).

There should be a table for each area with ticks and crosses for variousactivities. If you look at the so called conservation zones they don't allow line fishing so they are virtually sanctuary zones too!
lol If you look at the map, the whole of the foreshore within Sydney harbour and its tributaries is blued out. And the blue represents "Special Purpose". WTF does this mean lol
-
lol I've gone through the documents, wtf does special purpose mean?

Whats your budget?
Do you prefer something and electric one which he can turn on and load the chips in? Or do would you prefer a solution that uses a fire chamber?
Do you want the unit to second as a BBQ?
-
You didn't find the 385 a tad small? I had a look at the size at the international boat show and it found it a little small for three adults casting?
Was looking at a 420 or possibility a 460..

Yeah I've seen the Howler's on the WFF youtube vids. They definitely look the goods. They're on my list if I go the custom route
I had one till someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse lol..... I have a nitro Powerbream finesse right now. Its my third favourite rod in the collection :P. Its the go to for bream though!
-
Nitro Powerbream Finesse has a tiny butt...
Otherwise get one custom made. Howler Custom rods used to make rods for We flick fishing that were excellent... had tiny butts that you enabled you to customise the weights of the butts so you can match it with a specific reel...

I do prefer second hand boats as there are so many boats out there that need a home. In addition there is so much wastage right now that adding a new boat just doesn't seem right.
-
The boat will be used for two things hopefully
1. Estuary fishing chasing bream and flathead
2. Fishing headlands and within bays and inlets.
I am leaning towards a 4.3 / 4.5 with a front or centre console on a braked trailer.
Might have to try a few boats out I guess. Anyone know a place that rents boats on trailers for a week?
-
ahaha Ok ill come by Saturday with the kids if you don't mind lol. 4.3 Brooker... was looking at one of these used with a front console! Can't believe its only 600kg? wow Outback can tow 750kg unbraked so it only gets better and better..
-
Thanks frank, I'll make an appointment with you over the weekend if you don't mind. I always plan to get a trailer with brakes for the boat though?
-
My Outback (2.5i) is 1500kg braked... wow a Quintrex 5m is about 1200kg? Thats light? Does it have a console?
-
OK Guys, I'm starting the boat journey and my first question is about the towing! I am looking at boats between 3.8m-4.5m to fit three blokes comfortably.
The family currently has an 2017 outback with a towing capacity of 2,700 lbs. Does anyone have an 2017 outback that they use to tow and what kind of boats do you guys have? Looking for examples so I know what I'm looking for.
And yes i've looked at websites that show me how to calculate the maximum towing capacity of my car but that does not mean much when I don't really know how much a boat and trailer typically weights.
-
I would have filed a complaint...
-
Fish looks like a big grinner. Police have fined a few around me as well on Cape Banks. Heard about the poor bloke that drowned just recently, really feel sorry for the wife she was there with him.
Anyways the fish your holding is a Pig, aka a drummer, ask a rock black fish. It is not a luderick. Nice catch to its fantastic eating!

Already do it this way.. been doing this way for years lol
-
The eyes being pronounced is most likely because the fish has just been pulled from 110m of water.

Drummer can be had from most rock ledges if you're so inclined. Otherwise fish piers and rock walls for Luderick. Plenty of information on rigs on the pages. Also plenty of reports just need to search

The alternative is to use a circle hook. less snags as long as your don't strike when you hit a ledge. Also you should be using light sinkers like 00 and 0 to enable bait to move less in the wash but still move around..

Butchered that fish....and not in a good way....
-
ISO can be fished with stopper and no stopper. I fish both methods and both are very effective. if the wash is rough though I wouldn't use no stopper as the current will take the bait way to fair off the intended target zone.
For luderick I still use either a fixed or a running pencil float as its much easier to see the downs from far away. I find iso floats get lost in the current to easy esp if there is alot of glare on the water.
