Captain Spare-time

That LOOKED really easy I’m a little dubious of the  100% strength claim but it looks like it’d be pretty strong. 
 

Thanks Surecaztr. I might give this a crack next time I need to tie one

Cheers Yellow Door  

Yeah, I used to hear about the spotter planes when I first started fishing out west.  It was usually offered as the reason the Salmon weren’t around

I imagine a drone could be pretty handy for school spotting I’m not sure how I feel about that I guess as a recreational angler, I’m good with it But stories like the one you posted highlight the downsides of such use. 
 

I guess my feeing is that I’m ok with most approaches but that moderation is the key

Geeze i was well off. Still looks awesome.

 

Surprised the Cruiser made it that far  

 

Hehehe. Almost came a croppa before Ceduna. You’d think I’d be right on top of this, seeing that I’m in the transport game If you’ve had a wheel off, always check the nuts a little ways up the road

Any video?

It’s not much, but it’s about as far as I got on this lot. I’ve got a tonne of footage and I’d pictured a Spielberg masterpiece, but alas

Lol . Yeah, I saw you’re a dark sider, Softy. My mum taught me that “It takes all sorts”

Ripper pics mate. What make/model drone?

I would love to take one offshore in filthy conditions and film how nasty it can get. Seeing what Ash Smith does to spot the tuna schools does get the blood pumping.

Any video?

It’s the first drone I’ve owned and I don’t get to use it enough to get really competent but it’s pretty bloody cool I went with the Mavic Pro for its size, flight time and quality. I also lashed out on a heap on ND and CP filters. They’re a must if you want to get really good quality footage in differing conditions  

As for footage, yeah, I got plenty. However, it’s finding the time to edit it all together into some sort of cool and interesting video that is the problem

If I can dig a piece up, I’ll post it

Im off to YouTube now to look up Ash Smith

Since getting a tinny, I’ve gone and beefed up my tackle in the hope of one day hooking up on a decent kingfish. Darren at Sportsfishing Scene recommended I learn how to tie the FG knot. While I’ve only tied it a few times now, I’m already finding it much easier to do.  I even tied it whilst bobbing around in the swell the other week

This is the video I found easiest to follow.

Beautiful photos mate

Thanks Dave. I love that place almost enough to wish I was old. I can see me retiring out there

Thought I’d share a couple of pix shot with the drone from one of my favourite areas to fish. The West Coast

Work your way around spot to spot in the Gulf on here to get a picture of where and how the tides move

Cheers Des. I’ll check it out tomorrow. I’ve had a couple of shandies tonight and I’m feeling a little foggy

Well, I’ve got NFI about growing worms But going on the amount of work / effort you’ve put in, I’d say you should be kicking arse

Holy crap While that’s not exactly what I was after, it’s a super handy link / site There’s a TONNE of information there Thanks Doobie Much appreciated

I have a question regarding tides in Gulf St Vincent. 
I’ve been spending a bit of time down south these last couple of months (Wirrina) and seeing as how fishing from a boat (well, tinny) is still very new to me, I’m checking the weather reports regularly to see how windy it’s expected to be on my days off. What I haven’t been paying much attention to is the tide. Contrary to my user name (my mates would have you believe I do sweet FA),  I don’t have a tonne of spare time and so as long as it’s not windy, I’m gonna try get out on the water. 
 As I’m becoming a bit more familiar with the tinny and how to fish from it, I’ve started to look at tide times.
When I check the wind on Weatherzone, it shows me conditions at Parawa. That’s a bit inland but seems to be pretty accurate for the Rapid Bay area. However, the tides given from Parawa are WAY different to what’s happening at Rapid Bay. It seems they’re the Victor Harbour tides. So, I’ve been checking the tide times of various area and I see some interesting readings. 
High tide for Monday afternoon are 

Outer Harbour : 6.08pm

Brighton : 6.28pm

Second Valley : 6.35pm

That makes sense. The high tide sweeps into the gulf from the west and curls thru in a clockwise direction. But when I look around the corner of the Fleurieu  Peninsula to what’s happening at Victor. I would have expected to see a high tide hit at around 7pm but no!! It’s a LOW tide there at 7.34pm. 

This brings me to my question (finally ). 

Does anyone know where I would find a map, a video, an animation etc that shows tidal movement in and around our gulf? I’ve done a good bit of googling but can’t seem to find anything simple likes that. 
 

ST. 

They look superb I’d definitely want to chomp down on those first couple
