Hey Dean, the vid really doesn't do the conditions justice! It was 10 times worse than what it looks in the vid. I have been out in 25foot swells off tweed and I'll tell u this was a lot more uncomfortable and much more dangerous. We got airbourne a few times doing 20kph.... That says something....

Yeah mate vids and pics are always misleading. The first few times i fished there it was variable no swell, the last few times its been nasty.
Obviously depends on the swell when its glassed out (glassy swells) coz if the wind whips back up with a solid swell still around it can trashed in an hour or so!
Reason i havent been out for a while im sick of crap conditions, or work is always in the way when its prime weather.
Depressing....
I have to tell myself i will get out again soon
How much fuel does the Stabi hold???

well done boys
great report,pics and video. Well done.

Mate you are a genius! I should have thought of that myself! Well you go buy a decent hook, which are $1-$2 each, then buy the hair for the flys, which isn't cheap, then factor in time to tie it. They really are no more expensive than a soft plasic by the time u for the plastic and the jig heads.
Why complain about spending $8 on something which helps u catch fish that are hundreds of dollars? This trip I caught, 3 Red Emperor (13kg, 12kg, and 8kg), 1 trout and 2 red throats on the one fly, pretty good investment if you ask me.
Opinions are like arseholes.... everyone has one No wonder most people don't bother posting reports on here anymore...
To everyone else, thanks for all the positive comments, greatly appreciated.

gee talk about some hostility going on in here how about everyone is the best fisherman, everyone fishes rougher water then everyone else, everyone has the best boat, everyone uses the best tackle to catch fish and everyone knows everything about everything Does that settle it?
Nice fish verts, tough trip home.. i bet the back was aching. Took us 3 hours from the barwons one time in doms sportfish c/console and man we were so glad to see mooloolaba harbour...
I'd love to get out to fitzroy in my 4.5 trailcraft but i'd be pushing it between fuel and the weather risk.
