My first boat was a flat bottom punt – bright orange so Dad wouldn’t lose me, but I can’t find a picture of it 🙂

My best mate Lloyd Hatz & Peter Bethell doing battle with a shark off Windang beach in their trimcraft !

My second boat was a 3.4 mtre tinnie which I took to Burrinjuck to fish the Canberra Fisho’s ANSA convention on a box trailer – Who remembers the Friday night stew & Seargent swirl movies?

Then I upgraded to the Stacer 3.9 HD – which I aptly names “The Cure” after my favourite band.

This was our first “proper” vessel and original “The Cure” – boy we caught some fish out of that 3.9 metre Stacer back in the day 😉

I did LOVE trolling for trout on lake Eucumbene and Jindabyne 😉

This shot is with my mate Lloyd on lake Hume.

We then worked with Quintrex & Peter Flyn through Hornet Heaven at Caloundra to build a fantastic custom 475 Hornet with Mercury Opti-max 75. “The Cure 2” saw plenty of fish go over the side from lake Jindabyne & the Gippsland lakes in the South to Weipa in the North 😉

We had a customised Easy Tow trailer built for our trip from Cooma to the Cape – you can read the full article under the blogs and articles area 😉

Launching at Canie Dam at around 3% capacity

Our 1st trip to Callide Dam in search of a meter barra 😉

So many Boat – So little money!
