Hi all,
Getting the new boat next week and was planning to head out offshore for a fishing session, would greatly appreciate all advice and thank-you in advance:
I've got all safety equipment for offshore and will register my epirb on the day I get the boat, I've got boat licence with a few hours experience.
1. Heaton/Browns Mountain (how many Kms / nM out? and is it safe for a beginner to head out to these markers?)
2. What is the safest wind/swells for a comfortable ride? I don't have much experience so would like to stick to recommendations.
3. Heard alot of leather jacket snipping lines, anywhere to avoid this?
4. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated, I'll be trolling all the way out and will use livebait on one side of the boat while jigging on the other side. Going with a few people so I am not alone.
Many thanks,
Cheers,
Pod
