The Whitsunday Weather Gods

All fishos talk about the weather gods and when they smile. We learn how to read a synoptic chart and use official forecast from BOM as a guide, not an iron clad promise.

BOM usually have a built in margin of error on how hard the wind will blow, always on the high side, I think in fear of getting sued if something goes wrong. The official synoptic charts however are spot on and a true reflection of what the wind will do.

We follow seabreeze, willy weather and watch the live feeds from local airports, everything we can to get a true opportunity for one of those glamour days on the water, and yesterday (and today) is 2 of those days.

A mate and I ran almost 100 miles offshore yesterday and could have water-skied the whole way home. We caught a few fish, fed a few too many sharks and generally had a very pleasant day and night, even catching a few fish 2 at a time.
