Saltwater Flyrodders

Not sure if this is the right spot for this or if its allowed? I'm sure some of you may have already have seen it.

It may not be our patch, but its still a worth while cause. You never know when we may need their help for something similar, but lets hope it never comes to that.

The first field day im actually back in Perth for. Will try and make it, at least for the morning.

Dan I might grab one for my old man, he doesn't mind throwing a few poppers for bass in the local rivers around Bega over the summers.
Which one would be best with 4kg braid, the medium light or light?

Thanks for the support Mat...there are times when my resolve does waiver. I watched the build up of your project with interest, nice rig you ended up with, can understand why you put the effort in. If I find my way down your way, would give you a call for sure, be good to see your finished product.

Reckon it could have potential as a Tuna line, but maybe not fast enough for general flats work? Ill be getting a few but mostly in standard inter and sinktip.

Thanks guys...yeah this is a bit of a learning curve. Ive just put myself through a crash course in boat materials, so I do like the idea of a fiberglass hull for the efficiency. Have gone off the x country type of thing as the forums indicate they float about like a cork and get smashed in the chop ...

Tony thanks for the reply. This little boat a Goodwin which I believe is based off the Southwind hull is only 4.2 so it will fit in the shed. Id imagine with a nice bow mount electric it would make an awesome river bream boat, with some inshore Cockburn work in good weather possible. But would there ...

Im currently in negotiations with the minister of war and finance regarding a boat...assuming I can find what I want that will fit in my shed which is 5.8m long.
Have any of you guys had any experience with the panga style boats such as the southwind/Goodwin etc in the shorter lengths such as 5m and ...
