Re: lady musgrave wind

Trade winds season unfortunately. Getting a window relies on watching the synoptic chart closly to see where the low pressure systems are tracking the week prior to getting light winds.

Black art that some people can read well. Others get caught offshore in miserable conditions.

Re: lady musgrave wind

If you have a look at. The current Sea breeze forcast, it's starting to look good next weekend. We've got 2 boats going up Thursday afternoon, fish Friday and Saturday, come home Sunday assuming the weather holds. Welcome to tag along if it suits you? Might be able to find a few more GTs?!

Re: lady musgrave wind

You've picked one of the worst times of year. April and May start to see some really good days, generally.

In terms of predicting, you'll soon realise that anything three days out, especially this time of year, is a big guestimation. I wouldn't bother looking at a week's time - nearly always changes. The cooler months are much more reliable, whereas this time of year is very unpredictable/changeable.

Totally agree Cuzza, but it's a bit like your missus giving you at least an alluring smile. You might not get lucky, but just the fact that there's a glimmer of hope is enough to lift your spirits
I can also say, that we did a 2 day trip to 1770 nearly exactly 12 months ago, and had one day great weather, one day ok. I think the conditions are also conducive with good fishing. Constant SE winds should indicate a good barometer and the recent rains will have given the creeks a good flush. From my experience of 1770, this will put a dirty water line about 5-10 nm offshore. On the clean side, it will be acre after acre of Tuna chopping up and good fishing at the wrecks and the reef for pelagics (that's mostly what we do).
I could be COMPLETELY wrong, but we've seen it before a few times. In fact, the day that I still rate as the best fishing I've had anywhere in the world in my life was in Feb a few years ago and it was exactly as described. We spent the day at the Karma wreck (SE of Round Hill head) and 4 of us were hooked up all day! Gts up to 25 kg, Long tails on poppers, all manner of sportfish were just chewing their heads off all day as we sat on anchor over the wreck. It was crazy stuff. I think the next time we fished the same wreck, couldn't get a bite!
JSmfun,
I will PM you my mobile, and we can stay in touch. The weather does have to be pretty good to run around the Bunkers in a trailer boat, do obviously will keep a close eye on it. Our boats are 19' Cruise Craft and 18' Bonito centre console, so we aren't big rigs. Our plan is to stay in 1770 Thursday night, launch early Friday, stay out at probably Fitzroy Friday night, fish Saturday and either stay at Musgrave Saturday night or come back in to 1770. I want to be home in Bris just after lunch on Sunday.
If anyone else wants to tag along, send me a pm
