queensland Kayaking Offshore Sunday 24th

[Alex]

The shallowest point you'll find will be about 4-5m on to of raper shoal the average depth around the grearal area you'll be fishing is 8-12m as you get further out toward curramindi reef you will be looking at 18-22m is the deepest I found, but add the high tide to these, you really need a sounder if possible, it is a big area, do any of you have gps?

edit

Have a look at a couple of surf forcast sites I use. Coastalwatch surfcams, and swellnet

Just had look my self and the forcst looks pretty good, I have been burning the candle at both ends all week so am having a quiet day on sunday

Hope you guys have a good one.

yeh 3 of us have a gps so thats sorted, and hopefully ash comes he has a decent sounder, mine has shit itself

[username_taken]

Lee, is it the sounder or the wiring that's fucked? If you felt like a super long drive today you could borrow my sounder, same model so it should just hook up to your 'yak.

[username_taken]

Actually, I think Ash is up my end of town, so he could pick it up today for you if you want...

[jeff f]

there's been a strong wind warning issued guys

[pcsolutionman]

thanks paul, yeh it is the sounder not the wiring :( thanks for the offer but ill be right

Where'd u see that, it says on coastwatch 15-20 easing to 10-15, the warning was for today.

[Bommie]

car packed, kayak on roof, all ready for the morningB)

[ellicat]

Wind warning is current and will probably be dropped after the 11pm update. I think it's safe to say your day will improve the later it gets tomorrow.

So good luck. Hope the reports got plenty of pics:woohoo:

Crikey mate, she's a bit big (the surf)

Even in the first pic, there's what looks to be a noticeable rip? Looks like a very clean cut channel through to the open ocean there.

I was thinking the lake would probably be best, guaranteed rip heading out there which should provide some calm water.

Even still, that looks flat as mate

Edit:

Yeah, wind picked up late this arvo, dropped the temps down 10 degrees at the GC! or so I heard. The forecast for tomorrow is still only 15 knots at 6am, dropping as the day goes on.

Cricket was bloody hot, had to open the bowling in 40 degree heat, it sucked the big one.

Anyway, time to get the anchor system ready and put the yak on the roof!

[nodds]

Well I won't be joining you tomorrow due to doctors orders:(

I hope you blokes going out tomorrow get dragged all over the ocean by bloody huge fish ( sharks for Terry:lol: )

If the weather holds for you it should be a fantastic day, if it turns to crap though you can chase some jacks and trevs in the lake rite in front of the car park:)

Hope all goes well and you clean up on the fish front

Good luck

cheers noddsB)

[Terry H]

Thanks for the photos Nodds!

Whoever listened to doctors orders? I might give the sharks a miss, I'm too knackered to try and get anything ready

[Biggles]

Good luck on the water tomorrow, count me in for the next trip out. I'll head for the Caboolture River with some sx40s this time, that 40 degrees knocked the stuffing out of me today.

Now tat looks like fun, have a good day and good luck.

[faulked]

hey nodds is the doc worried about you snoozing on the yak if so get a pfd1 that will keep your head up even with you on the nodd atleast you can still yak then

[pcsolutionman]

ok guys im back lol, will start a post in a minute, will be a good read, not my day:blink: :dry: :angry:

Lee

[Brian D]

Huuuh I rather happy I didn't bother, WTF?

[nodds]

G,day Faulked:)

Nah mate the doctors orders wern't about the narcolepsy, it's about shingles of all bloody things:blink:

I thought I was bitten by a spider after Lee and I spent Sunday arvo waist deep in swamps chasing tarpon ( which we found:P )

because I found a big blistered patch on my shoulder that looked like a bite or burn. So off to the docs I went only to find out it was shingles. He gave me some tablets and told me no physical

stress:S hence no 12km-14km peddle off shore:angry:

After talking to Lee this morning after his premature return home I don't feel quite as bad for missing out (that is until one of the others puts up a post telling how they caught the biggest fish they ever seen:woohoo: )

Anyway I hope the other boys out there get into a few today and get through the landing ok

CHEERS NODDS:lol:

[pcsolutionman]

fingers crossed for the other boys
