Fraser Trip Footage

[Out-Station]

A bit of fun with some footage we took up at Fraser a couple of weeks back. Hopefully it gets us all inspired to organize our mates, hook the boats up, fill the tanks, leave the worries at home and get after em.

Great video. That last shot of your boat running on the glass out is picture postcard perfect.

What sort of latch do you have on your boat winch with that rope release?

Would love to do a Fraser trip with the lads now I have a boat......whereabouts were you launching from?? Was it around Indian Head in the cove/beach area there?? Are there other places to launch from that have a boat ramp?? What was the house called that you stayed in and how far was it from where you launched?? Sorry to pick but you got me inspired!!

I would like to know what that release is too

Gregp, notvsure what you call it, has a spring loaded captive pin type deal with a swinging bit that opens. My boat is set up to just roll straight so works good and means I'm nt trying to hold the boat up on the trailer with a rope or something whilst i get the hook of. I got mine at bias, rated at two tone frm memory.

Merseybluenose, we launch on the northern side of waddy near orchid where we stay about five min away, normally good gutters to run out of through the surf there. No boat ramps on Fraser, strictly beach launching. Various rental options in orchid. if your keen I would say go for a look see first, see what's involved in getting rigs up there and in the water and out of the water. Once you know the program it's easy enough to get setup etc. For us apart from the fishing it's great boating experience, nothing like poking down the down ramp onto the sand in the pre dawn and punching out the gutter as the sun pops it head up, just love it. Without being a bore though, like I said above, do your research first, gear up trailers etc and know the program in advance as it's not your regular stroll to the boatramp and out to sea although you probably know that already.

Sounds like you're using a snap shackle setup.

A larger one of these?

[Out-Station]

Wags, thats the one, i got one without the swivel bit as i saw that as the week point in the whole arrangement. Just has a fixed eye on the non opening end.
