Hi

We haven’t had a boat for 14 years so we are novices. We don’t know how long the water will be a mess but we are keen to get out for a fish so what is the general consensus in regard to the water settling down? We were thinking Saturday morning.

Which would be better after the storm, Jumpinpin or the Seaway?

Regards

John

The swell is still big in the seaway and will be up for a while yet, but the water should be cleaner if only a bit. Jumpinpin will be extremely dirty due to the large volume of floodwaters from the albert and logan rivers.  Its a bit of an unknown at the moment, best thing is to fish baits on the bottom.

[Craig]

Once I get out there I’ll be prospecting around current lines and deep holes and keeping an eye on the sounder, the fish will be there somewhere.

Will all this run off tend to flush all the bait out to sea? Wanna chase something this weekend, just not sure what. Maybe jacks, does the sudden mass of fresh water tend to shut fish down?

[Bob62]

I dropped the pots yesterday arv and can say the water was a fair bit cleaner than the day before.  Obviously still heaps to go.  The tide heights are back to normal on the Coomera.  I tasted the water and it was quite salty.  I didn’t get a water temp though.  I’ll post one tomorrow when I check the pots.  (They are very well hidden so i only check em every second day).

Craig your date at the top of the page is out by a day.

Ok the forum seems to be stable now and I have cleared up the board a bit.  I still have numerous other issues to fix so bear with me guys.  The site is still a work in progress.  My boat is currently getting a new motor fitted but hopefully I should be able to get out on the water next week.
