nice!! anyone heard if the Tuna are back yet? got to be close now.

Classic conversation lads!! One thing for sure though, you boys are making me more nervous about the crossing the longer this chat goes for!In all serious though, I really appreciate the advice and tips! In regards to tinny, put that down to stupidity. When my mates wife rang from stirling to tell us how bad it was up there and we saw he black cloud rolling over the hills towards us we couldn't pull up anchor fast enough! I used to use BOM as main source so lesson from all involved here is I better start checking it more often.

Hey Alewas out with some pro's last week and each to their own but they all use willy weather these days...Im sure everyone has their own opinion and no doubt its not always correct matey.I was 6km out on a mates tinny saturday night when the storm rolled in so I know it would have been hectic out in the middle as it was hard enough to get back to west beach in a 2m floating cork in those conditions. did you get some good fish though?

thanks again all,yes no doubt there are some hectic seas when the wind blows up, eg saturday night hence my email to you experts. interesting you were out saturday as it was forecast on Willy Weather and Seazbreeze to really blow up early-mid evening. Rollas - great advice. I have done Glenelg to Aldinga a few times but were only talking the other day about heading to wirrina and park there for the evening. I will post a trip in the coming weeks to see if anyone is keen to head acroos

yeh saw that yacht it wedge on the news...thats why Im going to build up with a few gulf crossings. no one has mentioned anything about ultimate wind direction, eg, N/Eboat type, Boston Whaler with hopefully reliable mercury on the rear.Moggy - appreciate the time you took to reply fella. cheers

cheers guys - dropping in at Ardrosson last week and hit 30km out in approx 2-3m swell. handled it beautifully although not sure I would want to cross over in those conditions. did learn one tip on the voyage! put the plugs in the fish wells! never had live bait wells before. good suggestion on the two boats but I dont know anyone with another vessel thats keen.

hey all, just found this site so thought I would give this question a go to see what response I get. just brought a 23ft boat and want to get into some longer distance fishing, eg West Beach (Adelaide shores) to Edithburgh. If anyone has done it what are the best wind conditions? also any spots you recommend to leave from there and reach. I want to build up to finally drive to wedge island!
