Great decision there mate glad its not next saturday i have to work .CHEERS SHAG

anyone got a spare spot for the shizz?

There will be a spot for the Shizz, we'll find one somewhere!

shibby, im in then :p

This weather is conspiring to stop us fishing this comp that's the second one we've had to cancel. I hope it behaves itself next week and we can all get our boats wet.

We should have a backup plan for next week, like a river comp with fewer categories etc, going to see what its like early on the river tomorrow.

shit that is the weekend i am in rotto oh well ill just have to duck out to the fad to see what i can get into

I HATE MR WEATHERMAN! Went down the river at 5.30 and it was a little blowy at first, f***n freezing as well, but its dropped out and would be magic out there at the moment. Its still under 10 knots at Rotto on Seabreeze but I've got a feeling it will blow in hard around 11-11.30. There was a fair bit of southerly in it first up but swung more to the east as the morning went on. Got bugger all tailor too, even with slick in the water, NOT HAPPY JAN. I'm going back to bed coz I'm fuming at the forecast predicted as it certainly doesn't represent what its like out there at the moment. Next week its a get up, if your happy with the conditions then lets go. Forecasters just aren't reliable enough!

Woke up at 5-30am not a breath of air moving, thought I was dreaming and went back to sleep. Woke again at 6-30 a pufteenth of breeze and still thought I must be dreaming. Just checked seabreeze.com and it looks like it would have been great out there. If the wind comes in though, I think it will come with a rush and that is never a pleasant experience if you are a long way offshore.

Its not like its the first time that the weather has changed dramatically from the forecast, so its not alltogether unexpected. Frustrating though!!!

Frustrated only just begins to explain it.

Saturday: S/SE winds 15/20 knots easing to SE 10/15 knots early morning. Winds shifting SW'ly 15/20 knots late morning and increasing to S/SW 20/30 knots during the afternoon and evening.

15/20 and 10/15 AS IF!!!!!! More like 8-13 dropping overnight to 5-10 easterly with occasional gusts to 8-13, early seabreeze around midday! I should leave MR Weatherman alone, he does try his best, but god damn that hurts! I'd better be nice or I may get struck by a thunderbolt next Sunday for the comp.

Morning
Light and variable winds with smooth seas. Moderate long period swell.
Winds: ESE 5 to 7 knots
Seas: SW 9 feet at 10 sec.
Afternoon
Breezy whitecapping conditions with moderate choppy seas. Moderate long period swell.
Winds: SW 11 to 14 knots
Seas: SW 10 feet at 11 sec

Yeah it seems Mr Weatherman has been stuffing up down there lately. Buoyweather is usually pretty spot on around Karratha, give or take a few knots, but it's never such a big difference. Maybe the weather up north is more predictable?

Ive just been out to check my crays pots and the wife was not to keen on the conditions but I thought it was fun, going to take the kids down to deepwater point tommorow for a spot of ski biscuiting see how many times I can make them stack it HeHeHe CHEERS SHAG

I tell ya what, I'm one angry fisho. It would have been the perfect day, trust bloody Murphy's Law to screw it up! CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! :((

Next time Adam maybe you shouldn't cancel it until the morning of the comp? Wake up early, see what the condition are like and then make a decision. People can check the site in the morning to see whether it has been cancelled or not.

Definately what is going to happen next Sunday.

Out of interest. The sun comes up at 5.20, but not bright enough to see cray pots until about 5.30 or just after. So for next week try and get to the ramp about 5.15-5.20 for an early start.

I will get on the site at 4.30am on Sunday and post up what its like and weather its a goer. I've always been told the only way to be sure is to get up and check. Guess I really should have done that this morning so cant pass the buck too much, but still bloody disappointed that it was forecast double and a half what it really was.

Spewin guys I thought I was going to have to look through a pile of gold photos from perfect conditions - oh well.
Next sunday hey - I swear you lot are trying to keep me out of the comp cos I get back this Thurs night and then fly out again on, yep you guessed it, the f$%$^ing 17th.

AHHHHHHHHH I WANT TO GO BLOODY FISHING!! Oh well I had better hope next sat is good weather and then you wont see me for wake! Gotta give my new toys a good break in session :)))) Ads let us know if your in?

Gully

so whats everyones opinion so far. sunday looks a bit average again, what a suprise :/

Its like they dont want me to have this bloody competition. Got 3 great looking trophies on my bench and I just want to give them away, cmon MR weatherman, we've all been good!

If not this Sunday then maybe early in the new year after everyone has time to settle again?

what about a group beach fishin sesh somewhere for somethin different. I.e tailor/mulla/shark comp?

Never know, the heat trough/unsettled weather forecast for Monday/Tuesday might arrive early. Might be oily calm.:)

Just play it cool, plan a xmas shopping outing with the missus. As soon as you've got something else planned, the weather will come good(make sure you factor in a good weather clause with the missus).:0

John

Pretty positive Sunday will be all go!

Why?

Bloody wedding rehearsal for the sister in law. Good weather clause has been rejected!

John

well just to upset ya's. in busso it was a little crappy (but not bad) on saturday but still got a 13kg dhu and a few queen snapper :P
ok i'll run off and hide now

sorry i have no idea how to stick pics into a post like this - i should learn i suppose but i dont see a button saying "click here to add pic" and im computer illiterate for the most part . just read the formatting options stuff at the bottom - sheeesh

adam or andy,
can you delete the above pic and corosponding posts - i cant seem to completely delete them with edit.
sorry guys

Nice fish by the way.

Just checked seabreeze.com and it looks pretty good. Lets hope it continues to improve, but if it stays like it is now I will be there for sure.

All steam ahead, Mr Weatherman has partially answered our prayers, cmon!!! Everyone keep Sunday free for the Invitational, looks like we have a green light at the moment.

so whos got a spare spot pending weather?

Off to see the physio tomorrow, I'll be fine for Sunday. Will see if I can't get you a ride Shizzle.

cheers ill give him a buzz then. Game on >:D
