Geoff Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Arrived at G.P ramp this morning around 10.00am to do a bit of land based fishing with my 4 YO grandson to find this. The water was about 8" deep at the top of the ramp A short time after these were taken a guy arrived in a late model Commodore. He had no hesitation driving into the water to launch his boat. The water was lapping cills & about 1" below the bottom of the door. Glad it was not my car. The other classic , a guy arrived with his family, launched his boat , brought it around to the beach area then 2 large gerry cans appeared. My first thought , they were going on a pichic & the cans were full of fresh water . WRONG!! It was petrol. Now we have all seen some strange things at boat ramps but why a guy would launch his boat then proceed to fill up is beyond me. Why not fill up on the way to the ramp or at least whilst the boat was on the trailer especialy when they decided to returned the empty cans to the car which was parked some distance from the ramp. Fishing was very slow but the little bloke hooked onto a nice size Bream . He was stoked & after a few snaps we released it for another day.

Paikea Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 High tide was 1.94M this morning. That is one mother of a Christmas tide. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 it's a 2.04 today and tomorrow PLUS we have a low pressure cell (ex tropical cyclone Christine remnants) around 995 central pressure so this will cause the high tide to be a bit higher again !! Does low pressure help fishing or put fish off?? Jim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testlab Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Be really careful after these big highs, all kinds of stuff gets floated out of nooks and crannies. There were some huge logs, building materials and a concrete pontoon floating down the Hawkesbury today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
