Hey

[Leighton]

Thought I would introduce myself

Leighton, living on the South side of Brissy.

I guess like everybody here I am a mad fisherman. Made the transition to the darkside about 2 years ago and now fish with lures 100% of the time.

My main target species is Snapper and Speedsters in the bay, hoping this season to really give the LT Tuna a shake up and beat my PB of 8kg LT last year.

I am lucky enough ( wife lets me ) to fish up to 3 times a week.

We've got a similar boat to yours, just wondering how well does the electric push you along and does it hold you pretty well in a strong wind?

Thanks
