Tips on Launching & Retrieving Your Boat Trailering, Launching and Retrieving is a very important part of boating, this is a process that can be made a lot easier if you just take a little time in preparing your boat and trailer Before leaving home and arriving at the ramp. It's good advice to have gone through your boat before you leave home including running the engine and checking your fuel is fresh and all the required safety equipment is aboard and make sure that you have checked the trailer rollers, winch and strap and don't forget the trailers wheel bearings these should be checked, adjusted and re greased at least once a year, Remember bearings need adjusting and bearing grease will harden over time and cause bearing failure when you least expect it ! Here are some Important Launching and Retrieving tips to help you. LAUNCHING TIPS Make all your pre-launch preparations well away from the boat ramp. Secure ropes to BOTH the Bow and Stern of your boat, This is important as you will not have full control of your boat with only one line, and if a tide is running, your boat may come off the trailer sideways and you will Not be able to control it !  Avoid Damage Always use two Lines ! Check and make certain that your bungs are in ! If you are launching a Trailer Sailer, ALWAYS check for any overhead wires or other Hazards before you rig up or move your vessel. Carefully study the ramp and surrounding water for any potential hazards - Remember there may be children present in the area ! * Line up your car and trailer to the ramp so that the backing process will be straight and as short as possible. * Do not remove the trailer winch or safety chain until your boat is in the water. Use both your secured Bow and Stern ropes /control lines and float your boat off with care, then secure it further up the end area of the jetty out of the way of the next ramp user. RETRIEVING  TIPS Align the centre of your boat to the centreline of the trailer; proceed carefully up the trailer until the winch or safety chain can be secured. If you are not confident in driving your boat onto the trailer, you can use your secured rope/control lines on the bow and stern to easily control your boat as you use the trailer winch to draw the boat back onto the trailer. Vacate the boat ramp as soon as possible and park in the appropriate preparation area to finish securing the boat to the trailer for towing. Remember to secure your vessel to the trailer using Both the winch and safety chain and hull tie down straps. * Don't forget to check your boating safety gear is all up to date and you have all the required  equipment for your size Vessel,  Water Police have promised they will be very active in Western Port this new year and will be checking to make sure all boaters are doing the right thing and that everyone is keeping safe out there !  So Please Stay Safe !  Happy Boating and Fishing  ! * To check what safety gear you should be carrying on your boat click on the link below, It may save your Life or help avoid a  hefty Fine ! http://www.transportsafety.vic.gov.au/maritime-safety/recreational-maritime/safety-equipment/safety-equipment-for-powered-vessels

Season  2012 A very big start to the Summer fishing  season in Corinella with an enormous amount of trailer boats arriving to take advantage of the start to the season,  as a result we've seen some fantastic Snapper being landed. Have fun out there, don't be greedy,  remember to leave some for next time. The odd Ray has been getting hooked from the Jetty and this causing some excitement but usually breaking off due to their enormous strength and tide pressure, best to cut these off when you see what they are, as  you will end up loosing all your line, and most fishermen don't want to keep them for tea anyway, It's better to just let them go free rather than drag them up to the bank and leaving them to rot, the Rays do their part in keeping our bay clean & healthy, Please remember to take your rubbish off the jetty when you leave and deposit it in the bins provided and keep a happy healthy environment for everyone !

January 23  2012 Its Hot Weather time and it seems the Whiting think its a great time to be around too !  fishing around the sand banks, channel edges is producing quite a few good size whiting up to 50cm  most anglers are doing ok, some come back with none,  it seems the whiting can be pretty fussy with tackle and bait presentation so a little forethought on your choice of rig and bait (or lure) is advisable,  Garfish are around with some good catches being seen, Pinkies are still available with a few decent Snapper mixed in amongst them but the big ones are getting harder to find but keep trying as there is still some  large specimens being brought back to the cleaning tables. No problems with gummies and of course everyone wants to have a go at the Mulloway, they are definitely there as we have seen recently with several huge specimens being landed but these fish always only get caught by the patient angler, sometimes waiting all night for a bite is generally what is required, Give Tackleworld Cranbourne a call regarding best rigs to use and ask about their range of Whiting lures if your chasing these tasty fish ! Please Remember Its a 5 knot speed limit  through the boat Moorings at Corinella  and out from the Ramp Jetties and just past the Corinella Pier, also Any boats at anchor,  New anti hoon Laws are in place in Victoria and you can now be nabbed (dobbed in !) for hoon behavior in your boat and this Includes speeding through recognised anchorages such as the Corinella Mooring area.  People are paying attention to you and are noting (photo) registration numbers of boats whose operators are not  obeying the rules...   Don't be a goose Slow Down and Stay Safe !

Tackleworld customer Heath and his decky for the day Mark fished Corinella on boxing day and were rewarded for their efforts. They were fishing with a squid bait and landed a massive mulloway which measured 151cms, unfortunately they couldn't get an exact weight as the scales only went to 36kg and it maxed them out with ease. Regular fishing guru Amy is at it again this week this time fishing off Corinella. She took a break from watching the cricket to catch some fresh bait for a late night session off Corinella.  She got some nice squid and hopefully she turns them into a couple of big gummies.

December 26th Plenty of good snapper up to 5kg being caught, the average caught seems to be around 3 kilo but some thumpers are still being landed !  Whiting are in good supply now with dedicated whiting fishers having no trouble bringing home good catches of 30 cm fish  to 40cm,  the sea grasses are healthy and  we know the whiting respond to this by becoming plentiful in these ideal conditions, also this is  a good indicator of the health of our Westernport Bay. Gummies are also a staple for many anglers and they have been a favorite  this week making there way to the cleaning tables to be turned into Christmas fillets ! Regular Tackleworld customer Rob fished with his mate Ross early Sunday morning out from Corinella. The boys had one thing on their mind, and that was mulloway. Fishing with fresh squid and garfish they landed a thumping fish that tipped the scales at just over 29kg. At first sight the boys thought it was a shark. This is truly a fish of a lifetime and the boys will remember that for the rest of their lives. ( Pic Above )

December 2011 Brad Harding fished with his dad during the week and had a cracker day out on the water for his first session for the season they caught a couple of lovely snapper on squid baits  (Pic above)

Benni Bradshaw caught this (above) cracker 75cm snapper off Corinella while fishing with his Dad who had actually fallen asleep on the water. It fell victim to a snapper snatcher laced with a salmon tail. It was caught in 12m of water north of Corinella.

Billie Wing-Smith caught the fish of her life.  (Pic Above) Fishing in 11m of water off Corinella with her dad Brendan all night she caught her biggest ever snapper which weighed a staggering 7.2kg. The fish took a liking to a squid and pilchard cocktail bait.

Steve fished off Corinella Sunday with his mate Jason in his new boat. They certainly found some snapper (pic above)  landing 5 fish, the best one weighing 7kg and 82cm and the smallest fish was 50cm. It was their first trip for the season and it was the first time getting Jason's brand new boat wet. Best bait was pilchard.

Shane Jackson also fished  Corinella  in search of snapper. He caught this lovely 4.5kg fish (pic above) and it was a new Best for him. It was caught on fresh squid on the outgoing tide.

Tea Tree Festival 2011 A big congratulations must to go to Mark Sullivan. Mark is a regular customer at Tackleworld Cranbourne,  Mark puts in the hard yards and hours on the water every week, he lives and breathes fishing. He fished the Tea Tree competition this year and on Friday morning got the fish he has been searching for his whole fishing career. He landed this Whopper Snapper which weighed a very impressive 10.51kg. It was caught in Westernport up the North Arm in 12m of water with a squid ring bait doing the damage. It is good to see such a beast go to someone who really does deserve this fish. Well done Sully, top effort mate and congratulations on not only winning the Tee Tree Comp, but catching a fish that you may never top again.

Peter and his mates stopped into the Tackleworld shop Friday night to pick up some bait and a few things on their way to Corinella. They fished for 40 minutes and landed their first snapper for the season which went about 3kg. They continued to fish throughout the night to land 3 more snapper with the best one going about 3.8kg plus a nice little gummy of about 3.5kg.

Brad Tregear sent Tackleworld a text  about his daughter Georgia Tregear landing her PB snapper (picture above) weighing an impressive 5.6kg out from Corinella. The fish was caught at 8.30 in the morning, and he reported the fish went nuts for an hour. They kept 4 fish and released 8 and were home in time for bacon and eggs.

Tackleworld customer Paul Grossi stopped in at the shop on a Friday afternoon to pick up some supplies and get a few tips on where to fish from the boys before heading away for a long weekend,  out fishing he managed 3 lovely gummies to 1m and 3 cracker elephants to 70cm,  they caught another 3 gummies these ones were released and again another couple of elephants. Along with the bag of fish they had a few big runs but were busted off only minutes into the battle. Best baits over the 2 days were pilchards and squid.

These fish were caught by Nyora angler Michelle and were caught off Corinella in 7 meters of water

Leanne Flitton sent in a fishing report,  Her husband Steve caught his very first snapper in Western Port.  Steve Flitton was fishing with his son when they caught the fish. Well done Steve, a great catch !
