[Muddy Toes]

It's still a bit of a work in progress Bill....

All I've got is this from another post.

Very Rough marks for the following taken off Navionics to give people the general idea of where to look.

Tweed Canyons: 28 14 538 153 54 514

Riv Grounds: 27 46 356 153 57 561

Cape Moreton Canyons: 26 49 173 153 44 280 and 26 57 583 153 48 803

Noosa Canyons: 26 15 860 153 51 947

So as for places to try I'm open to suggestions

I have one or two marks to google earth before i share would hate for them to point towards chinchilla. Wouldn't i look silly.

[Muddy Toes]

Sillier....

[lucee81]

Either way. Still not as silly as some.

noosa canyons- 26 21,615s 153 42,388e will start to get you into deep water around 300ft
26 21,615s 153 49,868e will put you over the edge to whatever depth you want to fish it will go down in stages.

easier to to find if your using a good sounder/gps and card like raymaine/novionics that will show all the contour lines on your gps.

Legend Yalta.......appreciate it!!!

Thanks

[lucee81]

I have navionics. Oh and a boat after lunch today.
What do you run Anthony.

[Muddy Toes]

I too have a boat and Garmin g2 vision cartography......very detailed.

[lucee81]

You may have a boat but mine comes with a biscuit to carry Brett and his deckie.

[Muddy Toes]

Alright......this is what I've come up with so far for the 7th July

1st rule of this little ditty is not to call it a M&G.......coz we all know what happens with the weather when a M&G is planned.

I'm thinking about trying around East of South Passage, between 40 and 50km out.

High tide is midday so my plan will be to fish in close in the morning, maybe the Cathedrals or something and head out wide hoping to fish deep around the tide change.

Anyone is welcome to tag along......I don't think many of us have an idea what we're doing let alone have the right gear but it should be a bit of a laugh and may give some guys the opportunity to take advantage of the old safety in numbers thing.

With this style of fishing and the distance to be traveled it won't take much for the weather to screw us so we'll just play it by ear.

[lucee81]

When you say 40-50 is that from the bar or in total one way. Secondly how far total do you reckon it will be? Just curious as they could only fit 110lt in the boat so wondering how many jerry cans I would need.

[Muddy Toes]

I did a quick measurement in Garmin Homeport and it came up about 40k's from the bar or about 20k's from the cathedrals.So I reckon it will be between 80 and 100k's round trip from the bar.
This is all very approx BTW.

How far do you think you will get from 110lt?
