A mere 3.8m swell! What happens if they call it off? Cant imagine they can reschedule.
Oh well, Launch out of the harbour might still be possible, but it limits the fishing options. I might be looking for some river/creek action if all else fails. Are there still Jacks biting at this time of year? Or too cold?

Dropping below 2.8, and light winds. The big snaps will be thick on the inshore reefs after storm. Just bring your rain coat!

Just so everyone knows. The conditions are already launchable at most of the main spots and the wind is looking good for sat and sun morning. Already a lot of non-local kayaks driving around on car roofs so should be a good roll out.

Gday fella's

Great to meet everyone up there. Shame the weather didn't play ball.
Hopefully we'll see you all up there again next year.

Hope you all made it home safely (Qlders and Sydney boys)

How many would be interested in the Easter Classic they hold up there?

Bunsen - give me a yell when you want to head out off Coalcliff, with a bit of luck our rosters will line up one day.

MrX - did you end up asking them about you fish?

Worleybird - Mate thanks for the info over the weekend, very much appreciated.

Butts...
Biggest fish caught in the Kayak:
Blackfish - 37cm; Bream - 37cm; Bonito - 49cm; Flathead - 50cm; Kingfish - 59cm; Leatherjacket - 35cm; Rainbow Trout - 32cm; Shark - Bronze Whaler - 4ft; Snapper - 41cm; Tailor - 41cm

G'day Butts. Yes mate, I've asked the question - to find out what us yak fisho's have to do to meet the photo requirements. The photo's you took (on the back of the outback) and Dell's (on the AI tramp) were perfect. My photos in the lap were pretty ordinary, so I understand why the judges would have had a giggle when mine popped up (among all the pics on flat boat decks ;-) )
