You would want to be extremely vigilant in terms of the weather out at the barges in a boat that size!!

Steve, my sentiments exactly, but I have seen heaps of 4.8m boats out there.......mine is only 5.4 and I am pretty careful with weather.

Ive got a 4.8m coast runner too and have been out pretty far in it quite a few times. Aslong as u know ur limits weather and skippering wise and head in at any signs of it turning nasty then ull be fine. And if it got that bad then rotto is a lil safe haven to shelter at, could be there for a few days tho if u get it wrong! Just gotta have ur witts about ya. Good luck with the fish dano!

i think you would be ok but looking at seabreeze i wouldnt leave till 8ish

that strong easterly will make it a bitch getting out early

like others said just watch for the change and leave as soon as you think its changing not just one more fish as im sure many of us do

and we want some pictures
