Having grown up in the Redlands I wouldnt be leaving my truck and trailer overnight at any ramps that didnt have a fence and barbed wire...maybe thats just me.

wow i wouldn't have picked that. What about the Sus types at manly ramp???

[adamleah]

Ive left my car and trailer there plenty of times overnight in past with no problems,

Worst part is trying to see the beacons running out/in of leads cause there unlit, but a big torch fixes that ,,, Ramp is ok for a two person job but I couldnt do it by myself with a glass boat because of potential rocks and ramp damage to hull..

The leads were pretty shallow about a year back when I last used also so had to run out to end of jetty with motor half tilt,, heard dredging was coming, but unsure if it ever happened,,,

Reelchippy,
I don't think your car or trailer are in any more danger at Wello than any where else mate. It is usually quite well lit (although not at the moment). The police do fairly regular nightly patrols as well. I have been fishing around wello for the last 20 odd years and haven't heard of too many dramas. At least no more than any of the other ramps around brisvegas.

The channel is around 1.5m to 2m deep and you really do not want to deviate from the channel too much at least until you get to the 3rd set of markers. If you haven't used that ramp before I would suggest you have a look at the place from the shore in daylight hours when it is low tide.
