Hi All,
Big fan of the site. Been reading for a while and thought it's about time I contributed some reports.
Have been itching to get out but the weather hasn't played ball for the past month.
Big of background, fish mainly out of busso and gracetown, have a 5.3m Searider (great boat) where on the right day gets me anywhere I want to go.
Few photos starting last mid last year in the bay, through to some trips out of gracetown around the Chrissy break. The big pink came up the last weekend prior to the ban.
Cheers
Ben

Generally it's pretty good
Generally it's pretty good launch site if the swell is under 1.8m. Best to watch it for a while prior to even getting the boat wet. I have dropped the boat in once and she's been pulled out 5mins later, it can sometimes change quickly down that way.
With an easterly and a sizeable swell, it tends to lip up more which makes it more difficult.
If you watch a few boats head through first you'll notice the channel most guys use. I only fish down that way if it's looking real nice on the forecast.
