Mate I wish I seen this before the PM.
I recon if we stayed out two nights there would be an over bagging problem (easters always a good time to fish up there) and to add to that the misses would be wild if I left her and the kids at the camp grounds for 3 days while Im out on the reef..lol otherwise hell yeah Broomy sat night!!!.. the weather would need to be good thou and no chance of a storm like previous years. If the wind swings around you can be left exposed.
Fitzroy has that storm protection that we need when having a few beer and trying to relax. Looking forward to the Friday night session all ready....Lock me in.
Also the snapper and pearlies are pretty thick up there on the 100mtr line going of previous years out from one tree and sykes so its only a close run from fitzsroy.
getting pumped but still don't have my boat back..........soon i hope
A couple of years ago at Easter a 40knotter came threw on a 5knott forecast and caught out about 40 boats with anchor ropes snapping or dragging and boats hitting each other. I was out getting a few nannies at 11pm when it came threw and I headed back to the lagoon in serious shit!!!....I would of hated to be anchored anywhere else and woke up to that.. The forecast was perfect.
The same happened 3 years ago at hamilton island but it was 60 knots. I was supposed to be on a charter boat with my son but at the last minute he wanted to go the next day. the weather was 0 knots and forcasted perfect but a couple of hrs into the trip a 60 knotter turned the boat upside down and killed one of the passengers. It does happen and quite regularly.
Be cautious this time of year.
well the easter bunny is early this year and has given me a MEGA TWIN 1000 combo..... what a good rabbit ....harharhar.......
...........GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO BAIT.........
I now have a decky locked in and am keen for a raft up Friday night, we just need someone to chase this cyclone away and we'll be laughing.
I'd better find all my fishing gear this weekend and start the boat up.
