MJGough Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Hello. Long time since I posted. I recently relocated to Lake Mac, have been fishing a tonne from the shore and it has been great, plenty of fish and plenty of good water, but I couldnt justify not having a boat any longer! Scoured FB and Gumtree for weeks, missed a few good deals here and there, even had a few good boats sold out from under me after we had agreed on a price and a pick up time! Thats the game I guess. I wanted something small but roomy, its for 2 adults and a 7 and 9 year old, and set myself a low budget (I always go overboard) this is just a toy after all ? I spotted this boat, made an offer and nabbed it, I think did well for $3K. Has a flat floor, plenty of room, very deep and wide, a bit of storage, and the motor is in amazing condition, it had a comprehensive service a few weeks ago and hasnt been used since. The trailer is super tidy too. Won't get it out for a while yet as it looks like rain for the next few weeks, but itching to get on the water and pull a few fish in. Will have to spend the few wet weeks brainstorming mods for it to get it where I want it. Thanks guys.

I loved doing the same with my old man and still do. I live 300m from the lake, why not enjoy it. 37 minutes ago, GoingFishing said: Congratulations on your purchase.

I'm at Bonnell's bay, just up from the dog park boat ramp but could go in at any of the nearby ramps. Not too familiar with the waterways, have only been land based so far.

Might have to take you up on that sometime, only a quick tow for me to get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawns and plastics, most are caught on prawns though,particularly the bream and queenfish. Plenty of garfish to be caught as livies too, though every time I use one it just gets ripped half.
