Heading out through the south passage tomorrow morning around 7am. if anyone is keen to follow out more than welcome. I will be at Raby Bay ramp at 6.30am. iIam hoping to get to the Cathedrals . I am not sure what the bar is doing at the moment or if the passages have changed in all the wild weather. Anyone know?

G/ day Marty hope you get a few mate, i havnt been out the S/P for a month or so but would say the inside Amity run would have changed after all the wild weather. Northern channell should be ok. Will wait for your report tomorrow, might head out that way next week, heading up to Rainbow Beach way for a Sunday charter trip hoping to get onto some of those Big "REDS" will post a report when we (Webby,Greg/Pinhead, Mike/Auigusto Dan/Seamist and Partners and friends get back ! Always get a few parrot around the group if you dont go wide Marty. Just watch out for the new GREEN and YELLOW zones mate not much area left for the bloke lookin for a feed these days ! >:(
CHEERS RAY.

Amity Channel is OK, nice and wide, actually. Northern Channel just go straight East. The dog leg at the East end has gone, and watch carefully coming in over the lip on the outside. North Channel seems to be much shallower now, too.
I've come in over the North Channel at low tide a couple of times in the last week, and it was OK, just keep your goo goos open!
I have NOT crossed Amity at low tide or in untidy weather though - watch that swell, I was down to 2 metres under the boat sometimes, mid tide.
Was thinking of a trip tomorrow, but decided against. I DO NOT want to hear of lots of fish caught! Man I will be p!ssed! Good Luck!
Cheers,
Tim

I got as far as launching the boat today and realized only 1 motor would go into gear
:(
It had just been serviced and I think they forgot to link the gearbox rod back in.
Till next time. I am happy I went for a run Before Fraser!
