Tasmania

Howdy all. We are travelling to Tassie in mid January 2019, and I do not know whether to take my tinny with us. I am a keen fisherman and was told that I don't need it over there, and from other people saying to take it. Is it worthwhile take it or leaving it at home? Any replies will help. Thanks
