Rainbow Beach Amateur Anglers August 2023
July Trip Report
The 6th trip for 2023, a go-as-you-please event held between Noosa River Mouth and the northern tip of Fraser Island on 15-16 July 2023.
We had lines down at 4am Saturday with lines up at 12pm Sunday, with fish in the weigh-in area by 1pm Sunday at The Deck@Sea Salt.
Onshore
Weather conditions were challenging with showers and strong winds across the beaches providing a small window of fishable conditions onshore.
Offshore
Conditions were equally as challenging with strong winds and showers. Due to the conditions competitor numbers were down on previous trips.
Despite the adverse conditions some good bags of fish were presented at the weigh-in.
Tides
Saturday: high tide of 1.41m was at 6.17am with low tide of 0.50m at 12.17 pm (Noosa Head times). We fished 3 nights before the black moon.
We had 11 nominations for the trip including 1 junior weighing in fish.
Congratulations to those who weighed in fish – well done on braving the conditions!
