So ive got my last chance to go fishing pretty much untill decemeber! a 2 day window Monday Tuesday, and its my only option, but there is a probelm!!

Do i risk the wind and head away to get my fix or do I sit at home thinking about fishing?

Gear is packed, all i gotta do is hook boat on and go!!!!

Go

With a max predicted 20 knots with only 1 metre seas is still reasonable, as long as you don't go out wide and don't have to negeotiate bars.
Go for it early and get a few good hours in before it turns nasty.

Bar at Sussex can be a pain, but its only an hour run down to batemans and there is alway JB and the Basin to play in as well..

Its improving!!!

I wouldn't risk it have to remember ewe dont have the luxury of a FULL BOAT you've only got a HUFFA :lol

Anything over 5 knots & ewe'll be blown away

Get going mate, a couple of years ago you wouldn't even have asked the question.
Early start, early finish,----> straight to the pub.

I like your thinking FED

Wun needs a brain in order 4 wun to be able to think
I'm afraid wot we have here is a pissed shinny head & an intoxicated potato blowing each udder kiss's

I don't drink but I'm starting to think drinking is a side effect of Panadol, have you had any recent doses Spud?

Where is the like button?

Well had an AWESOME!!! Few days, nothing like fishing by yourself, kick back and do things your own way..

Overall Tally; 50 odd flatties, 6 nice 50cm models that came home, the rest swam free, 3 nice snapper and heaps of other species including a 20kg blue groper which unfortunately got taken by a seal while trying to release..

Took the boat for a run out to the shelf, trolled some lures for a few hours, just so i can say ive done it in my boat

Heres a few pics!

nice catch

Good on ya Spud.

Good work Rumpus. Glad to see someone else is catching something. Bought new wheels for my boat trailer the other day. The old ones have melted into the driveway and need replacing. The boat trailer also needs some refurbishing and TLC. So does the boat. Oh crap - think I will go and have a fish off the rocks.

Pull your finger out and fix it up KKW!!! Summer is coming!

Spud calls venturing 500 meters from the boat ramp going out wide

It only seems like 500 metres because those glass boats are so smooth and so fast.

Yeah, get your finger out KK.

F ed we're talking goats
Not your head

Ha Ha Ha funny Kids, My boat is smooth, fast, doesnt break down and the fish i catch actually see the indode of the boat!

Actually took a pic of the chart plotter somewhere around the southern canyons cause I thought there would be doubters..

On the second day, the rough weather made life in the sussex bay pretty miserable and the trip to JB was the roughest test for the boat yet, probably a 2m Swell (counting the sloppy backwash) and 20kt winds. Did take some spray over the front but boat handled it very well. was slow going so backed off a little more and put some lures in and kicked back.

Nothing worse than spray on your windscreen, I had that happen to me once.

The windscreen doesnt worry me at all fed, its when it clears the wind screen, you duck but it runs down the back of your shirt....

When that happens its time to slow down a little, generally back to a pace where you can comfortably sit in the seat, open the esky lid, remove a can and proced to open it, put your feet up and relax!

Only can on my boat, is to pee in. No one comes out with me, because I will not let them smoke or drink booze onboard Went out this morning (not in the boat) and got 8 solid fish in 2 hours fishing. Back home by 11am.

You piss in a tin? That's a bit queer?
No smoking? No drinking? No wonder you don't go out in the boat.

We went out on Wednesday KK, only got an ugly shark and a rock cod.
A lot of chopper tailor in the Bay & saw some dolphins around molli pt, perfect weather.

ewe're bloody hopeless fed about as usefull as tits are to a bull

Yesterdays effort fish of this nature

I promise to try harder Jumpy, need you to tell me some secret stuff.

Stop using NAIR

It's getting bad mate, bald patch on top, receding from the front and it's leaving a little tuft in the middle at the front. When the front joins the back I'll look like Friar Tuck.
