I am a new member moving into the Noosa area looking to go offshore fishing from Noosa. I have a fair amount of experience crossing the Ballina bar and was training as crew member for Marine Rescue NSW. Hoping to pick up a few hints specific to the Noosa bar crossing. Also want to join the QLD VMR Coast Guard.
My boat is a Searay 185 Bowrider with 135hp Optimax outboard. It's not really a serious offshore boat but if I pick the day it's pretty safe. After seeing some videos of boats pushing through breaking waves on the Noosa bar I think I will leave the forward lounge cover in place to help keep water out of the boat.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
