What about rain? Last year one of the night prize draw was cancelled due to park getting flooded or pretty close too. With those winds and high seas I think we need to find a quite creek somewhere any ideas?

We kept around wild cattle creek last time , went to the area where the huts are , some good bottom there. Even scored a trout in the creek fishing doesn't get better then that.

Looks like buoyweather has changed its mind and the weekend is starting to shape up good. Seas still showing 4 or 5 foot but winds dropping out 5-10 and 10-15s. cant help you on the rain until later in the week. Buoyweather gives me 7 day forecasts though. Good luck at the hookup

Hookup is still 13 days away ! 7 day forcast is no good.

Hello all,

Was talking to the local Cruisecraft dealer earlier this year about it (after I bought my Explorer 500 from them) and he said that Team Cruisecraft would be there.

Those cruisecraft are going to look pretty ordinary compared with that big Mustang Bluewater I will be driving away with;D ;D ;D

And the big mustang will pale into insignifigance compared to the mighty mighty Bertram;D ;D ;D my ones bigger un your one.:D :D

[mangomick]

You should talk to the hook-up boys. They might be able to use the bertram as first prize for the biggest whiting,:P

[jtpython]

[sandyd]

Possible to see a cut and paste of the forcast?

[bay_firey]

1.0mt seas

[NEWBY]

[quote=mini696;629427]Possible to see a cut and paste of the forcast?[/quoteCant do that with buoyweather. Comes out all munted. Not looking good though. At best, expect 15-20"s with 6' plus waves. w/sw winds. Once again, sorry to be the bearer of badnews. Looks like me and the berty with family in tow will be heading up the creeks to have a feed of crabs again this year.

[jtpython]

:'( :'( Yep looked at forecast friday looks great

Looks as we all might be in the harbour:'(
Or the pub , have to take the boat polish down with me to give me something to do. Apart from drink:P

[rumy1]

its the hook up mate every year it rain iv been in it since year 1 and i think 2years it hasent raind and that was 10 years ago but rain aint stopping me never has never will


This year is shapping up like last year .... absolutely crap ! But the year before was fantastic weather.

[Cobia Kid]

Its been raining in Tannum all morning today so far

[jtpython]

Raining here as well i'd say be putting the tent up in the rain on thursday .
Well at least we need the rain.
Might pay to leave the boat in the shed me thinks, which isn't a bad idea cause that will make towing the mustang back a lot easier . Hey Mick :P

Sorry newby apparrently i forgot to put a couple of these cheesy grinny things in for ya;D ;D :D :D :) :) some people luv em.;)

regards smee

[mini696]

I can see me hitting Jenny Lind or some other secret spots even furthur up the harbour.

Bad weather never stopped me before.... Unfortuantly its not my boat I'm going out in.

[NEWBY]

Well I take back what I said about mother nature. Latest from Buoyweather is crap for Friday but awsome after that. Apparently the lows that have formed have pushed the high lower than expected and we are in for hollywood weather this weekend. So Friday night is for drinking and Saturday on is for fishing. SAee attached chart.

[sandyd]

For us to go out we need it to be a little less windy looks like the creeks for us too.

If it's 8-10 knots like they reckon we'll be outside. ::)

Seabreeze says

[bay_firey]

G'day Owen,

Got a bit confused to start with there with the colours, I have changed mine on seabreeze to be green for good and red for bad

[Owen]

Yeah, I didn't think of that. I suppose those wind surfer guys have a different perspective on what's good & bad

[mini696]

Anyone got the latest long range... I'm seeing 15-20's Friday and Saturday, 10-15's Sunday.

[mini696]

If only it was held over the last three days... Lots of rain... But no wind.

Looked at the harbour this morning (We had Coshie and the Sunrise crew here) and it was an icerink/millpond.

[Dehydrated]

Yeh, typical weather for the hookup.

Hopefully Sunday morning it will be ok to poke out the front.

[NEWBY]

Last report from Buoyweather Guys. Hope it helps.

If youve been there since day 1 then youd know that the first 3 years were perfect at least .

cheers alex
Depends on preference alex the explorer gives you an open back lot more room for fishing and a bit of cabin space is lost, the outsider has more cabin room and less fishing room but is a bit heavier making the ride alot better in the outsider, i have the explorer in the 550 it's magic a little slappy going into it but still a great rig, i find the further the sseats are back in the rig the better i had a seafearer ventura and dad has a seafearer viking mine was a half cabin and dads was a cubby cab there was so much difference in the ride , the half cabin handle the rough a better, but definatly a good boat
