[straddiebrad]

[tugger]

high tide is right on first light and with a 1 m swell forecast it will be flat where i cross

Good luck, Mark. I'll be hoping to throw out some livies at the four beacons for something bigger than a whiting if the weather plays along.

[tugger]

good luck i've heard of a few cobia around the beacons just over a couple of weeks ago and i haven't wet a line for 4 weeks now so i'm itching to get out

I had some unstoppables there 2 weeks ago which was my last trip. I'll even go out alone if I don't fill the deckie spot.

[straddiebrad]

Superb enough to take a 4.75 quintrex outside? Had my boat a month and havnt been able to use it, keen to get amongst it!

[noname]

ok all i have to do now is cut some brake cable and tighten up 2 wheels and i'm good to go. maybe take it for a drive around the block for a lil tweek of the brakes

but i'm keen too. need to christen the new rod too.:whistle:

[tugger]

me personally i would never take a new boat outside especially over a bar unless i given a few good runs but the weather will be moderate south west winds at first then easing through the day which will be wet for open boats, what type of boat is it ? center console/ bow rider etc. do you have experience crossing coastal bars? this will help me give you the best advice

Ive worded that wrong, i have taken it out, just not for a fish, i went for a 3-4 hour cruise from coomera boat ramp down to the broad water in the pissing rain 2 weeks ago. It ran well, its a 98 bayhunter with a 60 yamaha. Im from the west coast of nz which is rough at best and my old man has always had boats , and i ride freestyle stand up jetskis at south straddie every other weeked so i never really look past the breakers. Its mainly the conflicting weather reports, so was hoping for some local knowledge.

more rods i just picked another up myself

[tugger]

the westerlies on saturday will drop the swell so sunday will be the pick of the days if it's still 15 to 20 knots of sth westerly sunday you will find it a bit lumpy the further you go offshore, where i'm heading is only about 1km oof the beach from stradie so i will have some protection from the winds, it will be safe enough on sunday in that size boat offshore just could be a bit uncomfortable i'm still predicting 10 to 15knts sw for off brisbane with the synoptic charts showing a large high pressure system with the isobars a long way apart which spells lighter winds

[straddiebrad]

mate is that the latesst weather update i saw it was going to be a 10-15 ne in the arvo?

[tugger]

the swell has dropped to 1.4m at the moment and i'm expecting that to drop some more by tomorrow the wind will ease through the night and we'll have around 15knots from the south west when we head off at 4am from the ramp

it will be flat along that northern beach at stradie and we should have little wave effect at the rock then i was going to head home around lunch which will give us the start of the incoming tide again on the bar

[straddiebrad]

ok mark i will give rob a call and see what his plans are the lunch time finish is good will call you later today.brad

[Davo_Dinkum]

[tugger]

[straddiebrad]

I found the gps points online, its S 27 57.707

Its not to far out, also caught a flathead, a flounder and what I think was a teraglin, using squid as bait.

Going to head back out there on sunday morning.
