Gday brother,
Barwon heads being my home heads I’ll give you my run down
All got to start somewhere with it, best bet is to watch other boats, go through, don’t sit in the channel at a low tide past the second lot of markers and if you do keep the motor on and in gear as she swirls quite a lot,
If you are heading out I normally choose a low as the waves will be down on the Bomby (big breakers out the very back past the boilers) if it’s anything over 2 metres swell I fish else where,
As you head out follow the channel markers all the way till you see open ocean, if the swell is down, line the red triangle shipping marker up with the last red marker in the channel (pull up just shy of the last marker if you want to study the sets, swell wind tide) once you’ve picked a break motor up to speed and head past the last red stick keeping the triangle in line and your home and hosed, make sure you stay close to the red stick but not too close as there’s a big concrete block on it and don’t venture to far left as the boilers from the old sunk steam ship are there, visible at low tide
Same in reverse to come in
Navionics has it all mapped out spot on,
Life jacket on, make sure you check the tide/swell/wind because I’ve come back in pushing a 6m Bomby and my arse was tightening hard, still did it no worries but I sat out the back for a good 20 watching pipeline barrels with the massive spray shitting my pants,
Was out there last week chasing a tuna, otherwise beach launches at Urqhuarts bluff/fisherman’s beach Torquay or Lorne might be more up your alley
If your down there often hit me up and run ya out and in to show you
Cheers Lauxy
