Navigating The Eastern Entrance
Вставка

- With Southern Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail Kingfish, GummySharks and Makos to name a few all in big numbers offshore, you''ll need to get to them via your local entrances.
In this video we take you through how we get offshore via the Eastern Entrance Phillip Island Victoria.
That would be awesome. If you could make some navigational tutorials to keep people safe navigating around Phillip Island because not everyone who has a boat is a professional. Some people are just learning save some people coming to grief. Keep your good work up mate awesome.
Lovely, must understand the direction of bouyage which was in the licence exam. Very useful information everywhere. 👌
Most important part is learning your sounders navigation and if you're not sure just ask a local. We were actually heading out straight from New Haven at first till we were told different. We managed somehow to avoid all the reef there.
Gee the Jetty there at low tide takes some navigating itself! Quite the climb down.
@@TheBentarm Yep I've seen boat have to literally back the trailer off the end of the ramp to get the boat in.
Well done and thanks for sharing another video as I always look forward to each one. Can’t wait to see what you have caught on your next trip.
Haven't caught anything yet. You'll know when we do.
You made that look so easy first and only time I've been out the heads it was rough as guts. Thanks for share the tips definitely want to get the little boat out there soon
It can be rough at times, just gotta choose the right day for it.
@@findingjoe hopefully get there soon dying to try and get offshore for a mako
By the looks of it - on a good day this would be one of the easier entrances to navigate for blokes with smaller boats in Victoria.. could be wrong. Lol will find out.
Definitely the easiest in terms of swell and tide. It doesn't have the rip like port phillip heads and the monster swell like Western Entrance. It is largely sheltered by Cape Woolamai.
Having said that a duty of care is always needed when going out any entrance. Know your weather conditions the day before you go out. If the winds are up and there is large seas there is a line where it turns nasty and in a smaller boat could be nasty.
Great vid, very informative with good drone footage too.
I’m sure this will make the trip out a lot safer for the inexperienced, well done. 👍
Don’t forget that PFD when solo muffin man 😉
Yep haha. Remembered before I got up der the bridge.
Excellent boys
Great video. Just interested in what boat you've got and outboard HP. Just in the market and have only had smaller tinnys. Thanks again.
If you can, have a look at the spectacular scenery of Cape Woolamai as you travel down the lower end of Eastern entrance, one of our finest stretches of coastline.
Sure is. Got plenty of drone footage of the Cape.
Great video I been out the eastern entrance twice in the last week it is very shallow in parts I usually use the western I would love to see one on how to navigate the rip When the tide is running in or out
Yeah can be a bit shallow in the centre. Yeah dunno about the Rip one during run out or run in, we've come back in a few time on the run in tide but not going out.
Yea I usually always try to plan my trip around slack water but a couple of times I have had to come in early because of weather and it can be very dangerous iv had a couple of close calls in there
@@Maddfisher Can't say I've ever seen it that bad out there, well not yet anyway. No where near as bad as the rip.
@@findingjoe I've done the rip a few times and once came in against the run out. On a fairly good day it scared the shit out of me! Never again unless it's dead flat!
@@TheBentarm Yeah we've been stuck out there lost track of time and it was pretty hairy coming back in.
Is WP calmer from 10knots and over than PPB as my 4.5 Mtr boat doesn’t like anything over that inPPB. Considering going to WP for the first time soon. Awesome vid as usual :)
Pretty much the same I'd say as PPB, it does tend to be a bit more tidal than PPB though which can produce some nasty waves in certain parts of Western Port.
Thanks Muffin Man, great information to aid the rest of us learning about each of the entrances.
Would you say this entrance is the safer of the three? I know they can all be dangerous at times.
I reckon it is. You're not really dealing with huge swell or massive tide here.
What sort of wind direction, tide times etc are you looking at to decide crossing out or not? I've had some good and some really bad crossings of port phillip heads. Keen on trying eastern and western entrance soon.
To be honest I never really look at the tide when I go out there, I'm mainly looking at the swell and sea height.
In this video I had 10 to 15 knot winds blowing East to South East with a south east swell, which is why is was a little choppy going out. That with an out going tide and south east swell coming in.
When it's a south to south West swell, Cape Woolamai will block most of that making it a lot calmer getting out. Flood tide is probably your best bet with a swell of a meter with seas around a meter as well and low wind.
@@findingjoe that makes sense. Thank you so much. These videos for someone like me are so helpful. Appreciate the work you put in to make them for us all.
So launching from Stony and going out the eastern entrance do you recommend heading to new haven and heading out the exact way you did or is their another more direct way?
Don’t worry answered my own question. New Haven is the side I will be going straight past anyway. I got new haven and San Remo confused
Yep. That would be the only way out. Only difference would be the first part which is launching from New Haven, but once you're around near the bridge it's the same.
@@findingjoe awesome, thanks for the video. You got me through the Rip safely too so I appreciate that too!
Very bad sound
