G'day Snapp,
Don't worry mate we headed out around tempest area Sat arvo with intentions of an overnighter. Conditions were very good but the fish weren't playing the game. Plenty of fish on sounder. We tried everything from livies to pillies and no bite. Drifted a lot of ground with nothing. A fair bit of current was out there though. What was the current like out the BB? Pulled the pin around 10pm and made tracks for home for some decent shut eye.
Cheers Adds...
Went to Barwons at 2am monday morning fairly good run out exept for one for those storms that kicked up the slop and rain about ten kilometers short of the reef, got the pick in out in 100 meters first thing but the current was flying had to use pound leads on the floaters just to get near bottom the but couldn't burly so had to resort to drifting a poor second and the only way to get to the bottom, soon had some good snapper in the tub to 7kg nothing under 2kg and some AJs.
But only got 2 hours before the SW picked up to over 20 plus with continuous rain not much fun in an open centre console but made the most of the current and put the lures out and got five wahoo to 15kg and four spanish to 23kg, but the run home was full length wet weather gear and goggles sloppy as it gets.
bad luck mate next month better

Left Sat arvo 5pm for BB,
Got there after dark & went to 70m, nothing happening.
moved to 90-100m, NE blowing, not what was predicted.
moved back to Mid banks anchored up for a sh&t night of
N,NW again not predicted.
Had a sleep, woke to wave over the bow and through the hatch.
Yes, It was closed but not locked down.
Now it was a SW + white caps.
Left BB at 7.30am for a slow wet trip home at 12-21knots. (depending if pointing to Noosa or the Glass house mountains.
Got passed buy cats & bigger boats, must be a message there.
Anyhow 2 keepers for 90 lts of fuel, saved on bait & didn't eat the packet of
chips I took.
+ >10nm out, starboard light went out, then lost port, GPS kept turning off, no worries have compass, then lost compass light, no worries have star in sky, until the clouds came over it, Lots of foul language & a change of fuse all set again.
& to add insult to injury I watched the news tonight and they said nice day today on the water should be another nice day tommorrow.
One to forget, that's my report.
Anybody else out there ?
it happens to the best of us
