2wd
If you haven't launched/sussed out tantabiddi before then I would steer clear in your 2wd. If someone's been at the ramp before you then it will be slippery as all buggery and you won't get any traction, also very dependent on the tides.
I have a 4.1m tinny up here and it doesn't see much water this time of year, except the gulf glass offs. Poor Kasey and Jay are pulling their hair out, managed to get out for one hour today and got reamed, same story as yesterday. Tomorrow is their only day out and it looks average at best.
Best bet at the moment is to look for cobia under the mantas, bundegi reef for queenies/berley up for reefies or go looking for tuna schools (quiet). Otherwise try the west side landbased, the fish will be on the bite soon....

Rock & Roll
Spent the last three days down at Long Island with Uncle and the Fishin Chippy. Lets just say it was rough and anyone looking for a mooring setup have a look in my gallery.
30+ knots on Monday night and she didn't move an inch, unlike my sphincter!
What boat were Jay and Kasey in today? Saw a hire boat down at Peak Island this arvo, poor bastards would have had to pound there way home into a 20 knot seabreeze!

Probably them
Yes, I wouldn't be suprised if they're still out there. If they are out fishing again tomorrow I will put them down as keen, very keen! Looked hideous out there about 4pm when I went down the marina, glad I didn't go thats for sure.
