Hi,

For those that have travelled around Aus do you think it's worth taking a boat with you?? I know it's pretty subjective but I really can't decide. I'm talking about something I can tow behind a 4x4 with a slide on camper. So around 14 foot plus with maybe a 30hp motor. Alternatively a smaller boat on a camper trailer as I'm not sure yet on the final sleeping arrangments.

I know I could use it up the Qld coast but whether I'd catch more than the person off the bank is debatable. On our last trip to Cape Melville etc most of the boaties I spoke to were catching nothing where as we got a feed most days.

But what about in other states?? I know a lot of the grey nomads have the roof top tinnie but I guess I'm left wondering if they are used or not. Plus until you get used to area you have to be pretty lucky to catch much so I'm back to thinking I can catch just as much and fill in just as much time off the beach or the bank of a creek.

Thought about just hiring when we get to a place but most of the places we try to get to are pretty remote or small so couldn't hire one

Any thoughts or views are appreciated.
