Tunks Park Boat Ramp

[rickster]

Hi raiders,

just letting those who may not know that work is being done (i think) to the ramp and really only accessible one boat at a time. Will be a problem if not fixed once the better weather arrives. Mate Steve and i headed out in his boat exploring on Saturday to try and find some blackys. Didn't actually get to try spot "x" but certainly tried our best at spots a,b,c,d,e,f,g and h. All the way from right up in Sailors Bay out to Balmoral. Found small fish at a few of the spots and only ended up with 3 keepers. Stangest thing we found was a complete lack of kelp for fish to shelter, no matter where we looked. These areas may be better come the autumn after fish have started moving back in.

Yep I launched at Tunks this morning - only space for one boat given the work they are doing and the water was filthy! There seemed to be oil in the water - took me an hour to clean the muck off my hull!

Were these guys fishing the wharf? We actually anchored up just off the naval diving school east of the wharf area but bottom looked very barren of any growth. all i managed was busting on a small king that hit the weed while i was winding in. it's the 3rd time thats happened to me and getting a bit sick of it
