Chris,

Apologies for the delay - Blue Lightening, same as you i think. Keep me posted on how you do, lures that works etc. We have a trip with just 4 of us going, so it should be fairly comfortable one guy is making it his first ever GT trip, so that should be fun in itself.

G'day Ben,
Hope the weather improves for your trip.
A couple of years ago I did some analysis of about 20 years of records in Central Qld to look at days under 10-15 knots.
From memory Februaury was the worst with only 2 or 3 days under 15knts, March April weren't much better then things inproved May June July to about 10 or 12 days. I think Sept was the best at 21 days , then went downhill to December around 10 days and worst still till Feb.
I suggest you buy a tight fitting hat with a chin strap and maybe even a coffeee mug with a lid.

However the weather has been better than average so far this year. Kanimbla is a good boat with a great reputation so you'll be fine. (cast with the wind)

Great idea for a post Chris!

My next trip is to Shoalwater bay, but its been cancelled so many times now due to bad weather or airforce bombing practice...hope to hit it in the next month or so.

Does anyone know when Nomad are starting their operations there this year?

No one interested in New Cal this year ??

I heard Tak and Brandon have an opening for someone to fish with them and Konishi.

You've opened up a can of worms now Kasey!


Im sure someone will be interested...

Next major trip will be a well organised jaunt offshore from Mackay, only 50-60km... need good weather though  8)  Plenty of fish to target, hopefully we can crack the 30kg mark   ::)
Focus on the pop
