Anyone know the deal with launching?

Can you launch your baot and leave it in the water until you sign on at 0700 then head out, or do you need to wait until 0700 (sign on) before you launch.

Do you sign on over the radio?

Still a bit confused about this. Says sign on after 0700 hours only (no earlier), so you must have to sign on over the radio, if you are outside the marina waiting at 6am for example???

Radio

Tue, 2008-02-12 21:18

Proceedure is to register at teh ramp with the little van, then launch and head pout but wait in or just outside the marina. Log on with sea rescue and tell them you are fishing the comp. Then await the horn and zoom watch the spray.

Weather

Wed, 2008-02-13 14:05

Doesn't look good.
May be better to leave it to another year rather than being bashed by 15-20knot southerlies on a 2.5m swell.
Will be interesting to see if they cancel or not. Might not be considered dangerous, but certainly would be uncomfortable.
I might hold off and pay the late fee if it improves.
What are everyone elses thoughts?

Wed, 2008-02-13 15:19

2.5mtr swell with southerlies all day will make for a sore back and sholders. Good luck for those heading out but will give it a miss i think. Might be worth staying inside the reef for all the small fish. Still good prizes and the way the pots are in close at the moment might even get a dhuie.

Sat, 2008-02-16 16:27

We did pretty bad, all small fish except 1 decent breaksea at around 55cm.

Was lumpy in the morning but eased off as the day went on, not as many boats down there as we thought, only took 10mins to launch the boat and about 50 left Oceanreef at 7am.

Hi Steve

Sun, 2008-02-17 09:41

Just above your comment box next to the smilie face you will see a tree.  Click on that.  Where the image url option is there's a box at the end which allows you to browse your hard drive to upload files.   Just select the file and click insert. 

Only thing is you need to make sure the file is only 500x500 pixels and be 500kb in size.

Cheers,

Adam
