    Anchor on the lee side (side away from wind)
    be wary of the aquaculture gear on NW side.
    Remember you are in Flares-ville there.

    Just remembered there is a Bris Harbour exclusion zone, but from memory that was from the North cardinal mark. Might be worth checking if you plan to anchor up.
    Good fishy country out there, lots of Grassy Sweetlips, a few just legal snapper, the occassional Moses Perch. The usual rocky reef suspects.

    Can you actually catch big "hump" sized Snapper out at Mud Island?

    G'day

    All the usual weather checks are required. In a 14' tinny... anything over 10kts out there will be starting to get uncomfortable.

    Anchor on the lee side when you sleep and there are plenty of fish out there to be caught.

    If the wind picks up it could be a bit hairy fairy on the way back .
    My wife & I got hammered the first time we went there in our 4.10 meter tinny .
    took our time onthe way back , had no option though . have been back afew
    times since and caught quite a few fish . best squire to date 41cm no snapper yet .not bad for a dangler .lots of grinner around the island to.

    Can't strongly enough reccomend that you get your flares out & check the expiry date.
    $150 out of your fun budget or a quick check - your call.

    Hey if you are worried about going to
    Mud why dont you just fish the river there are plenty of snapper to be caught try the front walls there are some big snapper that lurk those walls. No need to go all the way to Mud when the fish are so close
    It's all part of the fishing experience
