Re: Maximum Winds
Depends on what you are comfortable with how well you know the area is there a place you can fish out of the wind ect.
But somewhere between 15-20 knts would be most peoples limit.

Re: Maximum Winds
In that boat you could pretty much fish any weather as long as you're comfortable. I personally wouldn't go out in anything over 25knots.

Re: Maximum Winds
Thanks to all for there input. I’m used to fishing offshore from Warrnambool or port fairy. Bay fishing a hell of a lot different. Plans have changed will be travelling down and fishing Saturday. Thanks again.

Re: Maximum Winds
Hey kimtown have you tried tying a bridle on your boat to stop the swaying, works well
