The Boat Shack - Bill's Page

Thanks for your reply, I wasn't sure you were going to get the pictures, first of all Boating 4x4 is the best web site, it is My Bible. I sent all My fishing mates. Everybody loves it.

My boat is a 4.7 m fibreglass half cabin vessel, my second home. Type: sundowner with 70HP Yamaha two stroke oil injected beauty. My favourite fishing place is the Coomera river and at Coombabah creak at the Gold Coast where the picture was taken. I am 65 next year, living in Brisbane after 65 somewhere in the River. At the present I am chasing a GPS for my boat, if I reach my final decision I will let You know.

Thank You for Your kindness.

Regards

G day!!

Thanks for You to take me in. Site looks great, all my mates are visiting your website, it may help them to find something they need for fishing or boating. Yesterday me and my mate Mick we vent fishing to Jumpinpin bar which is a popular spot. Spent all morning there, not a bite, we visited a few other spots, same results. Then ester side of Crusoe Isle we started fishing again and I experienced something I've never seen before, suddenly my boat was surrounded with fishes, bream and whiting, using five different baits we tried to catch them, none of them worked, we changed for an another spot, finally we got 3 squire but well under size so they went back to grow a little bit more. The weather forecast was yesterday was good & sunny all day, BUT about 11.30am it started raining with strong wind, so we decided to go home. We just made it with heavy rain to the harbour when the real storm started. In a big hurry we pulled in the boat and headed home, a few hundred meters away from the river, guess what, beautiful sunshine and no wind at all. We started laughing and talking about the ice cold beer, what we were going to catch definitely at home. This little episode makes my life rich and I wouldn't swap with a king.
