  • It was a wild weekend for the offshore boys with a gnarly swell on the bar taking out three boats. One came to grief on Saturday and two on Sunday. That's a record number of serious incidents. This footage is from Saturday morning. Time was about 6.00am which was roughly an hour before a 1.69m high tide. The tinny was slammed by two solid waves on the way out and took on a bit of water while retreating from a third. Looked like he was going to make it but then his outboard died (best I could tell) and the following waves sank his already waterlogged boat. Background Music: 'Heads Up'... by The 126ers.

    Looked like the the boat could have self drained better after he turned around. It just got worse and worse. He looked liked a smooth operator, handled it all calmly. Another reminder of how shit can go wrong very quickly at sea. Glad he’s okay

    There is a perfectly good massive estuary system there. So if it's not glassed out, and you only have a small boat go Flatty fishing, or try your luck at some nice mangrove Jack's. You never know in the warm months you could catch an elusive Barra. And I'm sure if you chuck a pot or two in you can get some nice muddies for dinner.

    • @ianrawlings2546
      @ianrawlings2546 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That estuary is an awesome place to fish. Never heard of anyone catching a Barra that far South, but you never know what might eat a whole/live mullet meant for a Mulloway! Day like that I would have stayed inside the bar and gone after a few nice table fish: flatties; whiting; even silver trevally. Put out a live bait for the odd big one. Or gone home to watch the footy, NRL I mean not that other game.

    The big question, what if he'd gunned it out at 1:00 instead of turning in for the shore. Looks like he'd reached the outer edge of the break. Was it analogous to a swimmer caught in a rip when it's better to go out than try to make in. Looks like he got into real trouble after taking water in over the stern.

      We sometimes go over the bar at raglan on the West Coast north island New Zealand. And even on a nice day, when you're catching tons of ten pound snapper, in the back of your mind is always coming back over the bar. Even on the charter boats, lifejsckets are compulsory

      This was a big issue i faced when setting the boat up, it was always arse heavy. On this day i had two tanks of gas up front (50ltrs) a and the anchors mounted to the nose to a distribute the weight. The boat looks pretty even in the water. It was just a curling wave that put me at a bad angle. Also still heavy in the back anyway.

By that stage the boat had 200litrs in a and the outlets were pushing water into water a and not working great, plus then more and more water coming in there was no hope. From this experience bilges should be on float switches on a auxiliary battery mounted up front.

Whitecaps I stay home. Just selling my fc390 dinghy for 11k, which is what I paid for it in 2013. I have caught many thousands of snapper from it. And it uses about 5 litres a trip.
