Hi Karlis, suppose it all depends on how you use it. Build on the day and beach launch on transom wheels or kept on a trailer and launched down a slip?

I’ve just took delivery of a new 4m sib with 20hp outboard which is a fair weight to drag down the beach, but manageable in the correct conditions, I wouldn’t go any bigger to be honest.

Where’s good to fishing there? My mum has a house in Punta Prima, so spend lots of time with the kids on LaZenia beach. Keep planning to bring a rod, but no idea where to try.

Yeah at the minute theres me and my pal and we have just been going in from campamoure beach we do get told of so we row out till we get past they markers but yeah i think 20hp will be more then enough for round here.

Also for sea fishing iv not had any luck of the coast iv done a fishing charter and that was good but if you decide to do a bit of carp fishing you got the canal and a few little lakes in the area to have a bit of a mess about in but if you do wanna catch something in the sea i advise getting close to the tuna farms.

its crazy how small of a world this is! Punta prima is 2 mins away from me.
