Site and Weather Update
Well the modifications to the site are coming along nicely, still alot to do but I'm very happy with the result so far. The forum keeps breaking so I have disabled it for now. Profile pictures are now available too, just to to your profile and upload an image(there is an issue with blurry profile images on the forum which I am working on).
Rain is coming. We have had a very long stretch without a decent flood or storm event but it looks like we will run out of luck this weekend. Over 200mm of rain is forecast and that is enough to flood the gold coast rivers and turn the seaway into a muddy brown mess. It all depends on how quickly it falls, if its a slow steady drizzle we should be alright, but if its a sustained heavy downpour expect things to get messy. Swells of 4-5 metres are forecast as well so use caution if you are in the seaway this weekend.
In other news I have a new camera to play with, a Gopro Hero 3 Black. This camera will be used to take higher quality pictures, more video and take you places in the seaway you have never seen before. The capabilites of this camera are unmatched. Watch this space.. Here's the promo video for it, the music is awesome...

Thats actually one of the things i will be doing with it. Connecting it to a rod n reel on heavy line and casting it right into the middle of a bustup. The footage from that should be very interesting.

Hey Craig – new camera looks great Santa got me the same one at Christmas. Have you seen the TrollPro housing for them (but I dont know if hero3 is compatible just yet).
Crazy weather this weekend – looking at seaway cam and its full on. Great chance to try your foul weather fishing! jokes-

Only a fool would be out there in this weather, even though I enjoy the challenge of foul weather fishing even I have my limits. I’m looking forward to seeing whats around once this settles down a bit..

Will the dirty water drive the travally and tailor offshore? I’d be interested to hear your thoughhts on whats likely to fire up first. I’ll be getting the crab pots out and have a shot at the whiting.

I would think they will still be around somewhere. Most likely they’ll be around the mouth at the ends of the walls right on the edge of the dirty water/clean water line. There are a few opprtunities after a flood and big swell. Big jewfish are the main one and they have no problem with dirty water. I’ll do a post about it in the next few days.

The Gopro looks awesome. Would be great to get an underwater view of a surface bustup seeing the fish respond to a lure.
