Tinny day

[Tuna are fish]

Hi all, been a while. 
me and a mate decided to head out fishing on Sunday and try and get some prawns. He called out last second and I already had the boat ready, so headed into the bay on my tinny. Saw some bluefin jumping right next to the boat but couldn’t get any, hooked up on tuna 3 times but lost them each time.  Made it to Moreton and got to test the limits of my tinny

Good work, looks like a fun session.

Wow, that's a fair trek in your tinny, solo. Conditions looked good, though.

How much juice did you go through ?

[Bretto77]

That's a decent run alright. Looked like magic conditions. Well done.

Shoulda said, dad came with me last minute, don't think i'll do it solo for a while.  Just my single 25L tank was needed.  should also add, I'm fully licensed and have all of the safety gear needed and more

Certainly hope that you didn't go through quite the whole lot before making it home

Good to hear. You know we old fellas get a bit protective of the younger members' taking proper care of themselves. haha

Sounds and looks like you have managed to work out your maximum basic range in near perfect conditions. Did you set a track on your sounder or phone?

You can also do that with a drone Brett,

If you film your boat wash as you're coming home and next time play it back

as your going out you can see by the wash where you've been 

and follow that. 

You with me?

 

 

 

 

just like putting an X on the side of your boat.

Unusually no, I'm not with you. Are you trialling alternative fodder crops for your cattle?

[Angry51]

I think I need to keep busy.

Far more accurate if you stop and paint a cross on the surface of the water every so often

[Angry51]

Don't use water soluble  paint or you'll get lost.

No, but after doing a quick calculation of bribe to Moreton being 31km so 62 there and back then the beacons and chasing tuna so at least 70 - 80kms on 25L of fuel

Plan your trips and work on say 50km as your max range in very good conditions. Carry some reserve fuel. The bay can get nasty quickly.

Just be aware that on less glassed out conditions you will use a fair bit more. When I go from Bongaree to Caloundra my usage varies considerable if there's a bit of chop. Usual 6.5 litres per hour has almost doubled to 12 litres per hour... 60hp 4 stroke.

Farrr out haha thats a trip and a half in that little tinny. Brave of you to take it that far and deep. Can't say I'd be game enough to take mine out that far. Nicely done.

[mzaakir]
