24.01.2022 MONDAY UPDATE - FURTHER CLARITY ON EASING OF RESTRICTIONS Further to yesterday’s announcement, there has been some further clarity provided by government. Some ...are still being sought. SERVICING - TYPES INCLUDED Please note this wording as circulated yesterday Boat maintenance: marine and specialist mechanics permitted to operate when required for safe operation including scheduled/logbook inspections. This morning government officials, via a video hook up, confirmed that this extends beyond the reference to mechanics, and indeed covers all boat maintenance type services that provide a service toward safe operation. We’ve asked for the wording to be slightly adjusted so it is even clearer. We do however have confirmation that it covers all servicing and maintenance that impacts the safety and the resulting safe operation. (It will not include cosmetic maintenance that does not relate to safe operation). SERVICING - BEYOND 5KM In terms of the 5km factor - People are expected to have their boats serviced within 5km. - However, for many reasons relating to specialist expertise, or knowledge of the specific make/model/type, this will not be possible. - In that case, the boat can be transported more than the 5km limit. - This is the same for cars. It is permitted. - The government’s preference is that they be transported by the service provider, however, that is not mandatory. Just preferred. SERVICING - ON-WATER TESTING - If an on-water test relates to servicing, and the on-water test is a requirement of the servicing process, then yes, it would be permitted. - The on-water test would go toward the safety aspect of the service and that would add to the case that yes, it can take place. - It must be with a COVIDsafe plan and permitted workers of course. - The customer cannot attend. BOATING/FISHING - There has been a great deal of conjecture and confusion around this as - Fishing is allowed stated by the Premier yesterday. - Use of non-powered vessels is allowed it already was prior to yesterday for paddle etc. - We are continuing to work with government to understand if this can relate to non-powered and powered vessels, so long as, under the current exercise rules, it is 5km from home and for no longer than two hours. We have not been able to understand why this distinction has been made, and why there is a reference to non-powered. Nor can we find written confirmation of it. As a result, we have appealed to the Minister for clarity, in the hope that non-powered and powered can be treated the same as we can see no logic to separating them. We will keep you posted.

23.01.2022 Some great weather is finally on the way, just in time for Easter!

16.01.2022 Riki hired one of our Polycraft today and managed to land this lovely 4kg snapper! Well done mate

14.01.2022 Picked up a new trailer today. These guys were great to deal with and presented a great product

13.01.2022 It’s racing season! The Man with the Mullet managed to bag the Daily Double this morning. 5.2kg and 7.5kg. Both fish in 19m, both took silver Whiting on a running sinker rig

13.01.2022 Josh got another nice snapper this morning while fishing out of one of the Hire tinnies. Straight out the front of the hire shed, 19m and fresh Flathead fillet for bait

13.01.2022 If you live within this 5km radius and you can maintain your 5km radius while conducting your recreation or exercise you may now organise a click and collect service. Please note; All customers attending MUST show Identification that indicates that they are from within this area and NO HIRES will be longer than 1.5 hours and the Maximum group size will be 4 people with a Maximum of 2 households. Please understand that while we would love to let everybody out, we can only let ...people out that are within 5km us, the fine for failing to comply as a business is close to $100k and for individuals $5k.....It’s simply not worth the risk. How can we do this you may ask? 1) We have got clarification from the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions classifying us as Retail, 2) we have a COVID Safe Plan, 3) we don’t use public facilities such as boat ramps, 4) we’re a COVID safe and Australian Tourism Accredited Business. FAQ Are boat ramps open and piers open? As I understand it, these are classified as Recreational Facilities and remain closed. Can I go further than 5km from my house once I’m on the water? No, you must remain with 5km of your primary residence OR your Business address (with business you must carry your work permit) I’ve never hired or driven a boat, kayak or paddle board, can I hire one ? Based on a duty of care and competency regulations, No. This is because we can’t provide staff to give you a lesson.

12.01.2022 Josh caught this ripping 7kg snapper on one of our tinnies today. The fish took a silver Whiting on the tide change

12.01.2022 I have just got off the phone to BIA and while there is no written directions yet for public view, motor boating is not permitted. You are however permitted to kayak, stand up paddle board and sail (as long as there is NO Motor fitted to the vessel) as long as you remain with 5km of your work place or residence. You’re also permitted to use boat ramps for human powered and sail vessels............... I expect that this is a developing situation so definitely do your best to stay informed.
