Re: Port Phillip Bay 30/7 - 31/7
hmmm forecast has changed a little 15-20 knots, waves 1/2 - 1 metre. It might be a bit cold in the slop with the wind for extra effect? I'll phone a friend who lives near by the Beaumaris to check out the conditions around midday and then deliberate the final verdict via sms.
Milt,

Re: Port Phillip Bay 30/7 - 31/7
Hi Milt,
after much discussion Rod & I eventually headed out at about 2pm. The wind was well under 15 knots. In fact when we came in at 6pm it was quite calm.
There were plenety of couta & pike about before the pinkies finally made an appearance just before dusk. I had used up all my luck on the couta & pike and only picked up 2 pinkies. Rod did very well with the pinkies on the SP's.
With high tide near dusk next weekend I'm keen to head out again on the Sunday.
Regards
Grant

Re: Port Phillip Bay 30/7 - 31/7
I'm glad we went out Grant. Thanks for not piking like some others 
It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
The top 3 pinkies were 37, 35 & 33 cm with another hald dozen or so and 2 on fly.

Re: Port Phillip Bay 30/7 - 31/7
Well done fellas, great effort. Was it freezing out there? I managed to find some ex-hire wetsuits for which i have emailed for stock availability $22 each for a full length long john style! Any body else want one? I'm going to check them out during the week.
See you guys next time,
Milt

Re: Port Phillip Bay 30/7 - 31/7
$22 for a used wetsuit is a damn good price. Check to see if they have a zip in the back as this can dig into your back when you are seated.
If you buy one maybe take it to a wetsuit guy & get a fly zipper put in too
