Been out Fishing with Bill a few times as he's a family friend, can't recommend him enough, great guy and great setup on the Cruise Craft his new yammy on the back runs fantastic, He'll take you through the theory the night before and then a practical sesh the next day.

i'll bring a spare pair of undies and some of those arm floaties. think bill's boat is twice the size of mine though?

Thanks Guys - I think it will be $370 well spent. I know I have a few experienced friends but you can not get enough help. Will let you know when I intend to do it.

You guys will be fine, I know Bill got a call from the water police and they requested he do a course with them in rough conditions, they picked the period just before the floods hit last year when all the storms started, he did the training from the water police centre con open zodiac with twin 225 on the back. Bill said it was one of the worst days he's seen and some of the water police guys were scared in the open boat. But they survived... :sick:

Guys you need to book well in advance, and Bill won't book a day training unless it is challenging conditions. If you do the course I wonder how many students he gives the nickname "wave magnet" or if that is one I have all to myself :blush:

Definitely worth doing..... and drum it into yourself now, do EXACTLY as he instructs you and you will have a great day.
