Cheers guys for the info.
Managed to sneek out CChurch at 18:15 with a non-fishiong friend, the tide was blasting out.
With a low water of 0.7 @ 20:07 I thought we better not be out too long!
We headed out to catch some mackerel, after finally locating them we hauled in 20, putting one out for bass, but nothing.
At 19:30 I thought we better head back, with 0.5m water showing on the sounder over the bar we cautiously came in (so that was 0.7 of actual water!!).
Weather was good until it started to rain was we put the boat on the trailer, we had sunshine when we headed out!
Nice to be out and a good intro for my m8.
