1st Time Gunnamatta 16/5

[iceblaz3]

Hey guys,

Planning to get down to Gunners for the first time by sunrise, Sat 16th May. High tide at 12.50pm, with a very mild NE/ E wind. Whatd'ya guys reckon about the conditions then? Its been howling 50km/hr SW winds for the past week, just concerned that seaweed will be washing up all around the shoreline. Otherwise, hope to see some of you guys down there then!

Generally not too much weed around at gunners I've found. Last time it was noticeable, it was within the first 500m or so of the stairs so you should be able to find some clear water. I'll try to make it down for first light but I don't usually hang around much past 9am.

According to WillyWeather high tide is 9.40am, and a gentle southerly wind is forecast. Where are you getting your info?

I'll be there too from sunrise until maybe 10am, unless I get called to work, might see you there

I'll have a look at the wind situation around 5 ish..if she's ok, I'll head down for a few hours..swell will hopefully be down enough.

It will be interesting to see if the rough weather has restructured the beach. I liked it the way it was - the main attraction being the huge rip just before the first rocks, out of reach of the beerdrinkers.

Hi Carl,
What's the chances of someone catching sambos with bait on Saturday?
I'm thinking of heading down on Saturday with my daughter but she doesn't use a spinning rig. I'm hoping to try spinnning with my new 9ft Catana rod n reel combo

Always a chance mate..there are times when it will outfish the guys spinning, but generally just the amount of ground covered while spinning wins the day..give it a shot and find out.

I was using tides4fishing, so guess that's not accurate for the tides because the bouy's set in PPB.

Anyways, I'll probably aim to reach around 7. Hmm I was initially planning to do some bait soaking. But yeah, is spinning more productive here?

Hope to see you guys there! =)
