hey call me crazy.. but already been told that many times,
and before i start this wont be happening in next few weeks.. proably months lol.. but when get everything worked out ect be nice todo
ok so been wanting to go on a well fishing trip, up the murray river ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Murray_river_%28Australia%29_map-Eng.svg/730px-Murray_river_%28Australia%29_map-Eng.svg.png down south east australia for those elese where )
wanting to go from about echuca, to near mildura its about 800kms :LOL2:
but yeah leaning towards doing it in a small jon boat ( 8 - 12ft ) will most likley be solo, unless find someone to come with me haha.
will need food/water/fishing gear to fit in their, where the kayak is a bit :/ sketchy i guess haha
but the thing i like about the kayak is paddling, easyer then in a small jon boat ...
and well a petrol engine proably wouldnt make it all that way / be worth it in fuel :/ not sure how much fuel itll use, but 800kms.. and fuel prices around the $1.4 per liter..
but have a small trolling motor, that doesnt go fast but with a solar panel and 2 batterys should be able to charge it while using other one?
kayak can paddle alot more.. easyer then in a jon boat just the space is abit :/ for food ect, though doable?
* i agree the jon boat seams to be only one thatll work.... :/ but still haha *
pretty sure ice wont last that long, so thinking try get as much food ( without eating to much crap ) that's in cans ect/packet
plan is to stop at night camp ect, stop for a fish here and their...
worked out itll take about 28 days, yeah 800kms takes a while haha, 28 days is doing about 6 hours a day averaging 5km/h
its down stream so should be do able..
ummm anyway any thoughts on doing it? seen a few people do trips of about 500kms down the murray, but im living near echuca, and have family near mildura, just why i picked their to their haha, can stop earlyier ect if really need to
but about me? if u really wanted to know haha.
pretty much grew up on the river with pop every chance we could
im only 17, 18 soon haha uhhh suck a talking about myself.. but yeah
something todo lol
look at me.. long wall of text short. sorry about that
whats your thoughts on a 800km trip down the murray river? do able?
thoughts on what it would be better todo it in kayak or jonboat?
kayak lighter easyer to move.. doable ( main thing i can think of is food storage.. )
small jon boat more room easyer to fish ect ... also doable
