I've fished there maybe a dozen times or so, so not a lot. We've definitely done best at night on the outgoing with a fair bit of run.

if i need assistance on the water like a tow and not a financial member who pays for the tow 

Marine Rescue Queensland do. No cost to boaties unless they want to make a donation.

North are in the lead !!

Are you fishing the bottom end around the old Council Chambers or further up ?

The more run the better, we have found. 4 ball sinker.

3 metres of 8mm will be sufficient.

I run that on a 4.7m ally runabout with a 4kg sand anchor or reef anchor. Never had any problems with the reef anchor pulling or the chain getting stuck. I wouldn't go rope to anchor, as rope has some buoyancy, so your anchor may not set properly. Also there is the risk of the rope wearing through on reef.

Anchor socks are great, but the drawback is they collect and hold sediment.

Getting kids out for a fish, getting yourself back out there, laughs, fish, and your favourite spot for brekky. Hard to beat.

Arrr Ellicat , I thought you were just leading a northsider up the garden path.

I think it’ll be good in sheltered waters till about 10am ,then it’ll get windy pretty quick.

Fish usually bite well leading up to a  strong southerly , if I get motivated I might give it another crack early tomorrow as well.

The boats packed,  I’ve just got to get motivated tomorrow morning.

Good luck if you get out. It'll be a good way to kick off the May comp.

Secret signal for May is a pointing finger -

Yeah, my bad. I've been up since 3.30 this morning and didn't even look at the weather before suggesting. Don't go to the Redcliffe reefs.

Maybe try the Redcliffe reefs for some squire ??

I'm not sure. I think there was an issue with mercury. @rayke1938 will know.

Great shot.

A lot of trees to choose from. haha

Better score next time now they know you're back into it.

I'll go 4.5 years

Still, there's only a few points between the bottom and 3rd place.

Wow, sounds a bit too hectic for me.

How was the ramp rage ?

The water always looks so good with fog on it.

Good numbers. Worth the drive.
