Well i thought it about time that i introduced my self before i become and old member. My name is Bob Devenish and my wife is Roslyn. We live on our houseboat named Serene-Lady in the mary river Maryborough Qld. She is 17 mt in lenght 6.5 mt wide twin perkins powerd our tender is a quintrex 4.35 hornet , ideal for the sandy straights but could cruise the coast if need be.WE launched her 10 years ago this march. I have spent nearly all my 60 years fishing the hervey bay, fraser il, sandy straights, area with a few trips up the reef and north coast.My first boat was a 12 ft dehavlin topper with a 5.5 hp johnson.onthe back . Bought this when i was 15 years old and had to get my dad to tow it to water for me until i got my licence. People used to come from miles around to see this tin boat that was pop riveted together. I think a lot of people thought that these aluminium boats would not last. We used that boat all over the bay from the pics to moon point and out to the outer banks. Needless to say that the fish only stopped biting when we rolled our lines in and headed home. The good part about this site is that it shows that hervey bay still has a lot of excellent fish being caught. Well as a one finger typest i think i will finish up and will send photos when i learn how to. Bob.
