hey Davi-D, you need 4.5 metres to be safe at Gunn Point
can get in and out of the inner blue hole with entrance closest to Leaders Creek on any tide
just watch out for the bommies and roaring water on big low tides :-)

cheers

If there is water and it holds fish, then it is fun trying to fool them into eating what you offer!!

Especially when you can see them!

He is, when I went out there with him on spring tides it was a great education :mrgreen:

It is a fascinating area, possibly unique, and should be recognised for its true value as a protected area and not a proposed location for heavy industry.

Great spot. Take proper maps, the base map you get with your sounder will have you running aground.

Heavy industry Matt??? That area should be a sanctuarywith all the marine life it supports, Especially Dugong, turtles, sharks, etc.

There has been talk of setting up gas plants (among other things) there for years because of access to deep water.

Think you misread my post Quinntreximon, I think it should be a sanctuary too, said so many years ago.
