Saturday Feb 18, 2012. The quiet start to February is certainly changing now. Bookings are fast and furious right through the rest of the month, much of March and even a fair few days are booked out already in April! Its interesting to see that so many of our customers are repeat and even regulars. No doubt they have the experience to know that this is when the "real fishing" starts! We are starting to see of lot more larger fish being hooked now. Larger schools of fish are also clearly present out in the deeper water already. On another note, the dredging of the Mooloolah river mouth is set to resume on Wednesday this week. Lets hope the forecast calmer conditions let the boys make a big impact on the sandbar quickly. Its not an easy task and must be disheartening to see your work until in the blink of a proverbial eye when a big front comes through. A more permanent solution that requires less manual input is really what is needed to ensure beautiful Mooloolaba continues to grow as the jewel of the Sunshine coast!
Sunday Feb 5, 2012. The weather may well appear to have finally turned for the better, but we are seeing the effects of the recent weather every time we cross the Mooloolaba Bar. It certainly makes for some exciting moments when you are on a 55 foot vessel that appears to be surfing a large wave on its way back into port! We can only hope that the local council realise that not every boat operator is as highly qualified or experienced as our skippers, and that the conditions actually present extremely dangerous conditions for many boat owners! We need the Dredge to return as soon as possible and remove the large sandbar that has been created completely across the river entrance.
Monday Jan 9 2012. The weather has conspired against us fish lovers today. Although the conditions are far from dangerous, the combination of high winds and choppy swell would make for a very unpleasant day in all but the most sheltered of areas. Not the type of conditions we like to send our customers out in. Looking forward to the change tomorrow.
In the meantime why not check out and subscribe to (its free) our new YouTube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/FishNCrabCharters/videos
We have just uploaded the Creek to Coast episode filmed late October on our boat, which was aired mid December. Its also on our Video page her of course (under MEDIA). We are planning to try and upload a new short clip to both areas every day or 2 to make sure you have a really clear idea as to what is happening and what to expect! And requests are of course alway welcome!
Saturday Jan 7 2012. Welcome to the new look Fish n Crab Deep Sea Charters Website. It will likely take a few more days to make sure all parts are working properly, and to get everything up to date again, but we are excited to have far more pictures up already of recent (and older) charters for you to view.
