Thanks mate. Looking forward to seeing you.

You are streaks ahead.

And us poor b…….s  down the bottom don’t even show up. Which is probably for the best.

I want to know what @Angry51 has been eating in the off-season !!

Not sure but I definitely need to change my diet!

Yes mate, outside.

Not particularly off Moreton, just offshore in general. 

 

I'm no Einstein. Get that out before I go any further. 

 

I use the wave rider sites. 

Wave rider

They will give you average wave heights as well as peak heights. 

The period is the gap between the peaks, and the zero crossing is how many seconds you will spend either side of the middle average of the wave height. The up and down, so to speak.

The higher the number, the bigger and more powerful the swell, but again, up and down motion does not bother me. 

 

Good old willy weather, bom and windy app for the area you're in to get an idea of wind speeds. 

Wind is the big player I'm my personal experience....

 

All good having a glass out day in 2m swell. 

Put 15kn of sw wind in top and it becomes lumpy. 

Happens a lot up at 1770.

 

 

Current will play a small factor but I've found that more on the bar crossings during peak tidal flows. 

Wide Bay bar is a classic example. 

 

 

You won't have much that will bother you in Moreton Bay with that new boat you're getting.

Practice manoeuvring it in strong winds and you're away. 

 

Thanks @Junky. Much appreciated.

School holidays next week Brian. 

You'll be surrounded by the workers.

 

Wind above 10 to 15kn is the enemy. Especially when it is blowing against the swell. 

 

Rain is no problem at all. 

I have a hard top...

Rain flattens off the chop, however if the wind is present it creates a washing machine.

 

Want more on why we're getting crap weather...

Hi @Junky. Do you mean wind against swell outside of Moreton? They don’t seem to give a swell rating or direction inside the bay. Can you give an example of a report showing both so that I can work it out please? I’ve never really understood this wind against tide/against swell thing. I would love to!

I finally had enough and took on the conditions yesterday. I got up at stupid o'clock and the bay was windy, cold, wet and snotty. But the fish count was worth it. Bagged on snapper in no time with a few other nice surprises chucked. Here is one of the better fish. 63cm Grassy.!

Beautiful fish!

Thanks Greg,

If it was the same fish it's shite outta luck this time because we kept this one as it was a bay pb for the person i took out with me who is terminally ill. We used to fish together a long time ago and it was great to see the smile on his face

Nice to hear that they got a great fish. Well done on taking them out and providing them with the opportunity and knowledge to catch it.

Snapper for team south, almost identical to other one but its not the same fish, but might spark some controversy for team north to whinge about lol

Beautiful looking fish.

I am over it….I think I might put on a rain jacket and just go out and get some salt air.  Forecast on Weatherzone was rain 6am-midday now showers 9am rain then midday heavy shower.  I am pretty much thinking they have an idea there could be rain but who knows.  At least if it rains the boat gets an easy wash.

I don’t care about the rain. I’m sick of the wind!

Actually... i just remembered we released the last one so perhaps it is the same one wtf???

Same spot, so go figure? 

What are the odds of that?

Holy **** i need a JD, i just gave myself a headspin 

You only need to catch it once more to cover off the whole snapper section for the month.

Looks like willy weather got this one wrong 

Yes. Glad I cancelled now.

If you want to put some good "Southside" ju ju on board I can help you out

You are more than welcome to come out however it won’t be tomorrow. I have already cancelled. Most of the weather apps are showing 10-15 and even 15-20 knots for the northern bay. 

This is why I’m confused. These are Willys Weather and Windy for tomorrow.

There is an under 10 knot period, but plenty of 10-15 as well.

Where on the bay are you heading?

 

I would have been going Northern bay. Tangalooma and north of there. Sounds like it’s going to be a no goer.

What are peoples’ thoughts on Moreton Bay tomorrow. The different sites are all over the place. Even more so than usual. Windy and Willy Weather are predicting 5-10 knots all day. MetEye agrees until about 11am. The Moreton Bay forecast is for 10-15 knots all day. I’m confused.

I don't think Amazon accept Paypal. I have never bought off Amazon because of this.

But they do have a 30 day return policy on most items. No postage charges back either.

I'd like to just catch something legal to enter into the comp.....

I might need some calcium carbide soon....

Just buy something like most of the Southsiders do.

Well done to anyone catching fish in this weather!

OK. I credited Kat with your 39.5, sorry. It was your hand in the pic. D'oh! Rectified.

Watch them! They’re Southsiders!

Well today's marine wind forecast is colourful....some cheery colours there.

More of interest is the weather forecast is light winds Saturday...not according to this marine forecast.

Nor on Willy’s Weather.
