[rakinray]

Hey Smithy we crossed about an hour and a half before high, it was our first time out thru there, but i found some good pics and some other vids on Noosa Fishing site which helped me pick a line thru the best area. You been out that way before ?

CHEERS RAY.

The Noosa Bar Crossing; Mid Tide, 2.30pm, Sunday May 29, 2011.

Ray,

I used to get up there 4-6 times a year I guess. Not now with the new boat. Always been good for me except one day on the bottom of the tide I hit a breaker about chest high. It rolled up and over the Stabi no dramas but was a bit wet for the boys in the back. Was packing it one time when we were mackerel fishing on Sunshine and about 30 knots of SE came through in an instant and it go pretty gnarly. I thought holey doley, how is the bar going to be but once in Laguna Bay it was as calm as anything.

Hey Smithy as you said anything with s/e in it would be ok with the big headland sticking out, same as Mooloolaba, even the South passage if you use the Amity side like i do when the swell doesnt have too much East in it. Hey Pete i can see that other vid on my page can you see it now ?

CHEERS RAY.

The one thing I thing the cochroches have got right is to insist on life jackets crossing registered bars. I'm surprised clubs don't insist on it. How can it hurt.

Hey SgBFish its not a proper fishing club, just a work crew that do it once a year. The first two boats didnt use them (Skippers Call) but i know that the last four boats did as i was leading them out and we all doned them before crossing. As you said, it carnt hurt. CHEERS RAY.

I believe it is law in NSW that a PFD1 must be worn at all times for a bar crossing (whether it is named or not)
