Winter boat storageTim Anderson.
As the doom of gloom of winter makes it presence known thoughts turn to next season. To make ‘next year’ a more pleasant experience, boaties should use the quiet period to conduct regular boat and trailer maintenance. Of course this should be a constant thing with boats, but winter is a time to take a closer look and fix thos little things that you might have put off.
The following is by no means a comprehensive list however it is suggested that these checks are conducted. Most of the following will only require a quick check while others can be time consuming and costly if left unattended. I have focused mainly on the trailer for this article which is often the part of your equipment which will can cause serious grief.

Zebra or LuderickDamon Sherriff Over Ten years ago before I got married I lived at Georgetown with Sarah who is now my wife. I didn’t have a boat so most of my fishing was down land-based. One of the closest locations to my home was the Low Head break water. |

Kicking butt from a kayakJamie Harris
Some ten years ago I decided to purchase my first kayak. I really wanted a boat at the time, but couldn’t afford one so I went for the next best thing. At the time I already owned and was using a float tube and whilst it was great for a lot of fishing scenarios it still limited me by the amount of water I could cover. And usually the more water you can cover the more fish you may find and be able to fish to. In a kayak or canoe you can slip along quietly at a reasonable pace from spot to spot with surprisingly little effort.

Winter trout optionsAndrew Richardson.
There was a time, not so long ago, that once the calendar ticked around to June trout fishing in Tasmania was shut down for several months.
The brown trout fishing season has traditionally finished at the end of April, and for most this has spelt the end of trout fishing until it’s recommencement in August. Â
Several locations around the state have been designated rainbow trout waters for quite some while. The rainbow season opens a month later than the brown trout season, and thus traditionally closes at the end of May.

Six pound trophy breamSteve Robinson
Damon Sherriff is a great friend of mine. We often speak for hours about fishing. The moon, tide, the barometer, rigs, bait and water temperature. Our wives don’t understand and never will.
