    Towing A Small Tinnie

    in Boating

    Posted

    Hi Mate. You will be at the upper limits of the towing capacity, but you car should tow it fine. Just give yourself more distance when stopping....

    I used to tow a fully loaded 4.2 tinny (w/40hp, electric motor, batteries etc...) with a Mazda 3. Which has similar towing capacity as your cruze. It wasnt ideal with 3 people board and AC on - but did it okay. (I have upgraded to a commodore now though...)

    PS> 30hp might be small on a 4.6m??? :tease:

    Electric Motor ?

    You guys have got me pretty concerned...

    I'm getting an electric motor fitted to my stacer nomad 469 and i've gone with a 54lb/54in shaft.

    I've got my fingers and toes crossed this is going to be a enough power with 2 85kg blokes fishing.

    Everyone i've asked for opinions in shops etc seems to think it's going to be enough.

    Has anyone out there got a Nomad 469 with a bowmount on it?

    Hi mate; could you keep us posted on how your set-up works on the 469 Nomad... I'm thinking about upgrading to that boat (or similar) and hoping to retain my 54lb set-up from my current boat..... Cheers. Al.

    Nice haul for an arvo session!

    Dont hear too many reports from Windang.... have you had much success there in the past?

    We fished there earlier this year (late summer) and scored some nice flatties... might head back there in couple months when the water warms up! :1fishing1:i hear they even hold a flattie comp there???

    Console On A 4.2

    depends on the kind of fishing you do...

    Ive got a 4.2 which is used to flick plastics and i'd say a centre console would get in the way on a boat that size, however bottom bashing with baits might not be too bad.... i'd go the side console.

    My next boat will be 4.5-4.8m with size console....

    Go for a 54lb motor min. - preferably bowmount/ foot control if you can afford it... check to see if you have enough room for the base plate & if the motor can clear the windscreen when locked up.

    Also budget accessories, like new deep cycle battery (say 100AH), battery box, good charger, wiring, adapters (if needed) & fuses etc.

    I've had mine since last Xmas & wouldn't go fishing again without it! :1fishing1:

    Hi guys.

    Long time reader first time poster.

    I was up there the weekend of 13 -14 /03/10.I was wading in the middle of the flats in front of the fair ground area.

    I caught 6 flatties on saturday in 3 hours between 8 - 11 2 under sized 2 to 40cms 1 to 50 cm and 1 60 cm.

    On the saturday between 8:30 -9:30 i caught 1 66cm flatty and 2 around the 45cm mark.

    First time using Sps so i was very happy. PB in the flat head department as well.

    I will attach pictures later.

    So all in all pretty good fishing.

    I think i saw you guys drifting. were there 3 of you in the boat?

    I was the 1 guy in the middle about knee to thigh deep in a broad brim hat.

    Learnt the lesson of not having a net. No way of landing the fish, having to drag it back to the dry land around the pelicans ~ 100m hoping the whole way it wouldn't come off. Bent the jig heads pretty bad. ( If you bend them back are they still useable)?

    Cheers Guys,

    Hi Chris;

    Yep that would have been us.... white quintrex dory w/bow mount electric. We left the canopy at the hotel on Sat arvo & got drenched in the rain! :1prop:

    We were flicking all types of plastics, but the best one would have been squidgy (fish) 80mm black gold... I think we landed atleast 50 flatties between us over the 2xdays..... :thumbup:

    Hi Mate.

    We were up there weekend before last. Scored a heap of flatties (all on SP's) mostly average around 45cms, best going 62cm which was released..

    (PS. We were in a boat drifting / electric motor. There were heaps of people fishing landbased but didnt see anyone land anything decent all weekend :unsure:;-) )

    Try the drop offs & weedbeds east of the bridge for flatties.

    We were up there weekend before last & caught heaps of flatties on plastics. We used the electric motor to cover alot of ground and found east of the bridge area to be most productive...good luck :1fishing1:
