Hi all, weather is looking mint this weekend in my neck of the woods, finally! So I'm planning on heading out but I find myself often just driving around with no idea where to fish, or what I should be looking for would be interested in finding out how people go about finding new spots or just exploring for good ground in general, any youtube or website recommendations about the subject would be welcome to.

Cheers

The little time I had between working out the sounders power issues and the electric motor issues I managed to get a golden trevally and and a Mack tuna, a checklist will be a must next time for sure along with testing everything before the boat leaves the shed!

Thanks for all your replies, I took the boat out and learnt a few valuable lessons about making sure everything on your boat is good to go before putting it in the water! But apart from that it was a good day out, feeling a bit more confident for next time now

Hi all, I've recently purchased a tinny and was planning on taking it in one of the local creeks/rivers this weekend in Mackay, just wondering if any locals could give me a heads up on where would be a good spot to try I'm a bit worried about getting caught out by tides, not knowing about structure rock walls etc any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for your replies everyone, appreciate it

Hi everyone 

Had a question about a setup for shore jigging from the rocks currently I'm using a 4000 stradic sw with 20lb braid and a pe 1-2.5 9'6 rod everything thing I've read says this is a good all round size for shore jigging but the problem is I've been spooled once now and lost several big fish that I just haven't been able to stop so I've decided to go bigger but an 8000 size setup seems to big to cast from shore and I don't know if I'll just face the same problems with a 6000 size setup, or is it just a technique problem? Either way I need help!! 

Thanks.
