Fitting Out For Bay & Coastal Fishing

The latest edition of Jeff Webster’s Fitting Out For Bay & Coastal Fishing magazine is a 148 page guide to buying a new boat and setting it up for fishing. This comprehensive publication has been produced as a companion volume to Fitting Out For Lake & River Fishing.

Fitting Out For Bay & Coastal Fishing contains hundreds of valuable tips and techniques for setting up power boats between 4.5 m and 9.0 m in length. This full colour publication has chapters on a variety of topics - including tackle storage, rod holders and rod racks, live bait tanks, berley buckets, outrigger fishing, bait cutting boards, depth sounders, GPS navigators, trailers & accessories and more.

Particularly interesting reading are the chapters The Ultimate Fishing Cuddy and Crossing A Bar Safely. The latter is timely given the growing number of Aussies now buying a boat for the first time. The chapter covers seamanship, boat handling, and the do’s and don’ts of crossing a bar - invaluable information for boating newcomers.

In The Ultimate Fishing Cuddy chapter the author considers the features most desirable in a cuddy cabin intended for coastal and offshore fishing. Does the perfect fishing cuddy exist? Topics include boat size, cabin vs cockpit size, cockpit design, boat handling, ride, performance, and more.

For new boat buyers, Fitting Out For Bay & Coastal Fishing has informative chapters on buying a new boat, choosing a layout, and buying a new outboard or sterndrive. Subjects explored in the two engine chapters include single vs twin outboards, petrol and diesel sterndrives, outboard brands and models, DFI and 4-stroke low emissions outboards, and how to choose the right engine for your situation.

Following the boat set-up chapters is a major boat buyer’s guide section. In this edition of Fitting Out For Bay & Coastal Fishing, there are reviews on the boats produced by 50 of Australia’s best boat manufacturers and distributors. In this section you’ll find an enormous variety of craft - from 4.5 m centre console and runabouts, through to 9.0 m powered catamarans. If you can’t find the perfect new boat in this magazine, then you never will!
