Fishing offshore on the South Coast is quite a harrowing experience when the icey southwester's pick up and the seas becomes choppy. Often the swell forms wedges where the wave drops off the back, making for a very slow journey in treacherous seas.

Without the right engine plane your ride home ultimately rests with your captain's experience in rough seas and his mental temprement. (or if he was outfished in some cases) Picking the right conditions to go out in is really left till the morning of the day as often taking the weather mans prediction is your worst nightmare after a few alcoholic beverages the night before, especially when on holiday.
