PREPARING YOUR BOAT FOR SUMMER

Rhodey and Dizzy, from ‘Allthe Gear But No Idea’, take a look at a preseason boat maintenance schedule that might just make your time on the water safer and more enjoyable.

As the weather warms up and spring rolls around, anglers across the state begin to feel a bit more optimistic about the upcoming prospects of longer days, time off work and more favourable boating conditions to target the state’s warmer weather species.

With more time planned on the water in the upcoming months, now is a great time to do a once-a-year ‘spring clean’ of the boat, safety equipment and fishing gear to ensure it is all ready to go when the time is here. We often like to set aside a sunny day, when the wind is a bit much, to head out fishing and commit an afternoon to getting ourselves organised. This can also be a great time to make sure all of those once-a-year jobs are completed.
