Anybody heading out in the morn??

[Dean1]

Hey guys anybody here going to take the gamble and try to get out tommorow morning?? Been like 4 weeks without a fix for me and thought I might head out from kawana tommorow morning early. Before the northerlies get up :-/

Been sitting at home recovering after surgery for the past week and after a 7 day stay in hospital and thinking that I have a new stainless prop that hasn't seen water as yet. Still bordering on not being well enough to launch the boat but even if I was the weather predictions are enough to keep me dry docked anyhow. Good luck if you brave it and head out. Hope you get in amongst them.

On the water at 6am, headed out in a stiff 15kt northerly 1.2m. Started at the 12 mile no show so up to north wide cal. Things were quiet on the bottom but lost 3 stonkers on floaters. 1st one was on the $40 omoto baitrunner it went balistic and I told my mate if it goes off pick it up and wind like shit, but he stared at it in amazement so by the time I picked it up it bust me off on the bottom. Dropped 2 others on my baitrunner. 20 kts 1.5m now and headed a long way south checking new marks but pretty barren. Headed back up north to orig spot and ended up with 6 nice snapper on floaters biggest about 5kg. And lost another 2 >:( The omoto hooked up again but the drag sounded like a tree mulcher ( brand new straight outa the box what else would you expect for $40) and was running out of line quickly so lost it when i tried to turn it. My mate is very new to this its his 2nd trip offshore today. I went back to mono on my bottombashing rig this trip but im going straight back to braid mono too stretchy. Good day headed home in 25kts 2m but god cats are amazing and this trip reminded me once again just how seaworthy and awsome riding my little cat is. Used 78 litres of fuel. Beat the hell outa sitting on the lounge. I woulda gone to the banks but i though it woulda blown to 25kts earlier. Oh yeah and the platie boys woulda really felt it today :P Cheers.

Not good down on the south coast of Tas either seas 7.0 m on a 5.5m swell sustained winds 40-50 knots for the next few days. Here come the equinoxials! Much nicer on the east coast with 1.5-2 on 3.::)

Hi Dean what are you pwering the cat with.

[Jabba_]

twin 60 Yamaha 4st

[Legend82]

at least you got out there mate, a few snaps are a bonus
i think im going to go insane if this wind keeps up
do you go from Caloundra?
i think i might have seen you trailer at the coastguard ramp..

[Lovey80]

Good work dean, the extra dollars spent on a cat make up for it on those types of days. If its a similar situation on the 13,14,15 of October I'd love to see how she handles in the rougher stuff if your keen. How do the 60HT engines compare performance wize to the old donks? They were 70 two stroke werent they?

Cheers
