Lightweight SIB fishing in challenging conditions

I’ll never shy away from the chance to try out a new boat! Maelstrom products have kindly provided me with an Aquamarina 350 to put through its paces and with a brief gap in the weather I was straight out on my local grounds.

Fishing inshore can be tough this time of year and to add to the challenge a single box of soft plastics was what I put my faith in. Keeping the rod and line light allows small lures to be fished directly giving maximum sport from the reef residents. The nature of this SIB is keeping with this approach with its ease of set up and ability to move into the skinniest of waters.

The sea conditions on this day were a good test for the relatively small tubes and flat hull yet with two up it performed well.

I look forward to putting more hours into this boat on the water.
