The beast behind the BULLS!!!!!
I thought I’d answer the question I get asked every day lately.
Here’s the boat we chase the bull sharks out of, she is a production made brooker discovery 5m tiller steer with a 60hp Yamaha on the back.
We cop a lot of crap about the boat being to small and not being safe to shark fish out of and to be honest, they are probably not completely wrong, but the boys I fish with make it as safe as it gets.
We loaded the sides with foam and the floor, so if it ever goes over, it will never go down, but the truth is that this little thing is incredibly stable and punches well above her weight class.
There has never been a time offshore where it’s felt unsafe and we have been concerned.
It’s not about the boats, as much as it is about the set ups, keep your weight down low and your flotation up high. Have weight up the front to match the power down the back and as cliche as it is, if you’re not confident, don’t do it.
We love fishing out of small boats for big fish as we feel more people can relate to it as not everyone (including us) can just afford to blow 200k on a boat to destroy on sharks, so we love to show how capable these little boats are if set up right and run by a confident crew!!!!
We have recently even had 2 offers of sponsorship which included new big name fiberglass boats in excess of 20ft but we turned them down as this is where we are happy and comfortable.
Even when the day comes that the tinny lets go and folds up like the oversized tin can she is, we will be looking for another small boat to do up and start all over.
To many people in fishing make it seem out of reach to accomplish certain goals, anything’s within reach, you just may not be as comfortable doing it 😂.
Hopefully that explains a bit and helps people understand why we do what we do, once again, cheers to the best bunch of legends on social media!!!!!
