I'd get some time up in the river and get some experience before heading open water.  Learn the capabilities of your boat and familiarise yourself with it and it will serve you a lot better.  The fun part is exploring and finding new spots which hold fish, Mossie Park/Claremont areas should hold some blackies this time of year but I'm unsure how much rain you've had and where they would be.  Time to go looking! :)

Or you can always fish the sheltered part of the sound down near palm beach and chase whiting and squid?

FYI you need a lisence to drive that if you didnt know as its over 6hp (notice you said you havent had much boating experience)

As for spots to fish, little island at hillarys would be reachable in that tinny, or stick close the land out the front of trigg and you could get into some nice whiting, herring, skippy and maybe a snapper/sambo if your lucky.

Absolutely spot on advice mate! Though it's only a small boat, just taking it out first time on the river to get used to it is very wise and a perfect opporunity to flick out for a few nice brimkis.

Hope you have your RST to Ash here's the link if you need it:

We all are impatient when we get our boat. But best to take it one step at a time - get used to your boat, check you have all the gear and know your boat's limitations.

there are some huge bream under there.
As Adam and Colin said, get plenty of practice in the river. Even things like anchoring up in currents. You don't want to get caught out in the ocean.

Thanks for the tip guys. ill definently give the river a try first. I went and got my RST last week monday so thats the only experience i have on the boat. Ill hopefully get out on the river this friday or sat and ill let you know how i go if its not raining all weekend.

Cheers

there is no soap in it mate!!!!!!!!!! but i think i will stay in bed if it is lol thnks guys

Ash06, it may also be helpful to go on the ocean with someone from here in there boat first. It will help you get a feel for the ocean and what to expect when you do take your own boat out. Plenty of us always heading out.
