Breaksea Spit ( Hervey Bay ) M & G. November 2014

[Lucky_Phill]

FYI from Hervey Bay Marine Rescue

We strongly recommend that all boat operators log on with our Radio Room whenever they go out on the water. Trained Radio Operators monitor VHF channels 16, 73 (local area) and 22 (north of Fairway Beacon) … 27 MHz channels 88 and 91 … HF channels 2.182 and 2.524 … and EPIRB frequency 121.5 MHz. Our Radio Room is manned daily between 0600 and 1800 hours, and after hours VHF channel 16 is monitored by Brisbane and Gladstone Harbour for emergencies only. Mobile phones should not be relied upon as a substitute for a marine radio. They are not designed for marine use and have proven unreliable at sea. The best form of communication on the water is VHF Marine Radio.


Boat to Boat station will be 77 ( 72 & 73 can also be used )

[Lucky_Phill]

I dare say the EPIRB frequency is 406mhz now... seems like old info. ???

Hey guys. Would anyone whose been up the break sea before mind if I met them at the ramp to follow them up?

[Lucky_Phill]

I am sure this can happen.... people will be putting up times for arrival at ramp closer to the day.

If I am going, I will be at the ramp around midday.......... ish. ( Friday )

[liltuffy]

Weather permitting I'll be there noonish Thursday

[Apollo]

Our plans are to get away from the ramp at around late morning Thursday. Others will stay at the ramp overnight Thursday and head up at first light Friday.

Yes Bruce... I have 300mtrs of 200lb mono. If I can't catch any fish, at least I'll look the part

That ain't enough line - every drop have out 350m to 450m

Trevelly will leave the ramp mid-dayish Thur.

My deep dropping is in 100mtrs of water

[Horse]

That's the shallow grounds Phill. I still floatline in 100m. We will have an electric on board so will be looking for Ooglies at some stage. Whats the predictions for the weekend. I can see a SE change on the horizon. Hopefully it blows out by Friday

[Moonlighter]

Ok so can i confirm that this event is still on (subject to weather, naturally) the weekend of 14/15/16 November -ie the G20 weekend?

If so, we will have 2 more boats to add to the list......!

Short Fuse, and Moonlighter (except in another boat, Rascal, 2301 Seaswirl)

Will be a great weekend. Just hoping the weather gods do the right thing by us.

[MEG-A-BITE]

We will be leaving Brisbane around 4:30pm Thursday and depending on the weather conditions when we get to Urangan, may put the boat in and head over to Rooneys.
