I read the reports before i headed out. I knew there was going to be a strong change but it stated late afternoon.
I was fishing at lion island, and I don't have much experience at all with my 4.5 metre boat, I only purchased it recently. Anyway it's around 12.30pm, and i hear this gust of wind come through, the water begins to ripple instantly and i look around, there are no boats around (now i know why) and there are mini hurricanes on the water. I reeled everything in immediately, started to head out and soon as i got around the island, it was just scary!
Huge waves, waves crashing as if they were on the beach, I must admit i was pretty scared thinking the boat might tip over because the waves where by far the biggest I've ever seen around.
Was so glad to make it back to shore!!
We did catch a lot of fish though, but not worth your life!
When big changes come through, they pass this over the radio don't they?
