queensland Finally Going Fishing...

[Angus]

Well after a bloody chaotic few weeks I am finally getting out for a fish Saturday...

Anyone else taking advantage of this fairly dreamy looking Saturday morning? (I hope it holds)...

I saw this today too  Fingers crossed

I agreed to work Saturday morning but might have to change that...

I too will be watching this, but I reckon it is only teasing us and by Friday those yellow bits will have joined up and the red bits will vanish only to reappear on the chart for next weekend. Hopefully not, though.

I'm hopefully heading out offshore from rainbow beach with a mate, starting early as and back in the early arvo - the charts at the moment are suggesting a definite window around Saturday morning.

hoping it holds for all who want to get out amongst it!

Have to vote Saturday as well as reunite with the good wife after her o/s sojourn.  
I am emotionally conflicted.

Over who to vote for no doubt.

Wind will start saturday morning as soon as the poles open Angus, all those politicians and their supports flapping their gums and waving how to vote cards. Better be off the water by 10, they will have developed it in to a stiff breeze by then!

And for heavens sake dont go at dusk, all the political commentators whoipped to a frenzy will have made it a roaring gale by the end of the poles!

Sorry to be a newbie but can you explain this graph and why it excites you?

By my interpretation, there is a lowish high tide, overcast conditions with very little wind. 

Does that equal fishing gold?

Also, what app/website is it from?

Thanks.

This is from seabreeze looking at the wind strength/direction and wave height. Mostly relevant to boaties going out in the bay or offshore. Strong winds usually mean bigger waves and that is not ideal for us because it could be dangerous or just too rough. So Saturday looks great in the morning and I would expect it will be pretty flat in the bay until the wind gets up.

Other sites to check are willyweather, windfinder and the BOM. Its a good idea to check different sites and work out an average so you know what it might be like out there. But as I said its not as relevant to landbased fisho's although a good idea to check it anyway incase it is blowing 30 knots or something which isn't good for any fishing!

Ahhh, so much to learn.

Luckily it don't get too many waves down the Pine River except when some knucklehead flies past on a jet ski!

I have found that strong head winds can decrease the amount of feel I have on the line though.
