    If he decides to go out I can see the headlines now:

    SS Minnow, sunk by Capt Numbnuts in 4m Swell

    Seriously, I would recommend your mate get his head checked if he's even considering going out in that

    depends on alot of things mainly the size of the boat. been out im weather like that plenty but always in a boat bigger than 25ft mainly because we were on holidays and only had a 2 week period to go out. if it was my local spot then no i would find something better to do as i have always been told no fish is worth dying for!!

    I think a few of the above posters are being a little harsh! If the swell is infact 4m ( which i doubt at mooloolabar) and the wind does reach 22knots we'll it would be pretty uncomfortable but provided the skipper has a bit of sea smarts and takes his time he'll get out and back with no real trouble provided the bar isn't cracking at a dangerous level! The biggest issues with seas like that is it's bloody hard on the skipper and crew and bloody hard on the boat and any gear in the boat eg. tackle, reels, esky's radio's etc!

    I spent plenty of time in that rubbish( and worse) last year trolling and it certainly gives you a work out but i've had plenty of little electrical issues in the boat since!!!

    Alcohol doesn't agree with me, but i sure do enjoy the argument!!!

    To put it bluntly the problem is that if this d@#$head does go out and gets into trouble then there are other people who are or feel obligated to put their live at risk trying to save him.
