Southern Bay M&G 29-30 November [Archive] - Ausfish fishing Australia, Australian Angling Forums

Hi All,

have arranged with Viccie Pt VmR to hold the Southern Bay M&G Caper for 29th Nov-30 Nov. Pretty much the same format as last year, bbq at Viccie PT VMR on the Sunday starting 11am with a fish before starting on the Sat if you want to overnight.

here are the details

Same boundaries as last year and classes except the addition of best bait to accomodate Craigies efforts last year;D

Also Id like to make it more of a fundraiser for the VMR as RtM showed the way, emphasis will be a M&G with a bit of a fish. There will be an entry fee which goes to the VMR. Last year the VMR kindly put on the food, this year I will be arranging it so they dont so the funds can go to the VMR. ( help here appreciated, )

Dates

Sat 29th 1pm to 11 am Nov-Sun 30th ( a bit earlier than last year so as to miss the Dec rush and best for VMR). Also HT on Sunday morning should make it easier at the ramps;D

Tides: Sat HT 10.40 LT 5.20pm HT 10.36pm
Sun LT 4.32 am HT 11.15am

New Moons on Friday 28th Nov

Classes
Adults: ie any legal fish
1: Best fish over 3kg ($50 tackle voucher now as the other $50 goes to VMR)
2: Best fish 1kg to 3kg
3: Best fish 1kg and below ( Bait is included just for craigie)

Kids
1: Best fish (Rod and Reel)
2: Best Whiting or Flattie

There has been a very handy donation of kids prizes thanks to an Ausfisher and local tackle shop. So looks is if all kids will get a little something, so Mum and Dad, bring the kids along for the day to have a fish and enjoy a bbq with the rest of the Ausfish Family.

Ill update this with other prizes as we go but it isn't about that, its about having a good time with fellow Ausfishers and helping the VMR as well.

If you cant make it for a fish, then turn up for the bbq, we will work something out for that, as it will all go to the VMR, its a social pre-xmas M&G

Sounds good there Aigutso, count me in.

Just wandering how much your wanting as the donation, I looked at it 3 times and couldn't find anything.

Also would you like funds transfered to an account or paid up on the day.

Thanks

Hi mate,

I ll sort payment detailsout as we get closer but thinking similar to the RtoM as that seemed to work pretty well, so assume 10bucks.

Goodo fellas,
Surgery was last week and seems at this stage that I'll be up and about lickity split. Well at least a lot sooner then the predicted 6 months :)
Looking forward to wetting a line after 10 months in drydock.
At least the fishing reports don't make me all depressed now and I reckon you fellas have had a big enough head start so I better get back into it.

I might have to give Dazza a call though and wrangle a decky spot with him during this particular little outing.
The lucky bugger won everything last year and, maybe, hopefully some of that luck might rub off and I go home with more then a full stomach.

Mmmm hamburgers and creaming soda :)

Hi All

Bit of an update as we are about a month away from the M&G, firstly the important stuff.. the Sunday BBQ !!!!

Food, thanks to Crestcutter and Moreton we are well taken care off (a big thanks to Daryls wife at the Russell Island Bakery and the Bidvest Food Service Gold Coast). Also if that doesnt fill you up my better half will bake some cakes... pretty good stuff as im still here;D

Fingers crossed for some good fishing weather for those having a crack, for kids there is a nice combo from Marlin Mike and Finga has donated a bunch of his jigheads (of your choosing) to add to the usual kitty.

PERPETUAL TROPHIES
Webby and Craigie, I have it on good word that those need a good royal rub with some brasso!! prior to handing over.

VMR
Funds to be paid on the Sunday at the BBQ, all food and prizes are donated by fellow Ausfishers with all proceeds going to the VMR who help us out. One anonymous Ausfisher rather than whacking up the $100 fishing tackle voucher has asked to split it, $50 tackle prize and $50 to goes to the VMR so we are off to a good start.

List of those attending, please register your interest so the guys on here who have kindly donated food know how many to cater for. I'll keep updating this as we go. So far:

cbruh1
Breambuster33
2DKnB ( mate another overnighter?)
Lucky Phill and Brooke
Chief and Little Chief

Aigutso, Bec
Webby and Craigie (perpetual trophy holders, well enough said;D )
TOL (brekka girls?)
Pinhead and trophee
thedeckie, Liz and Mitchell
Herm, Great White plus kids
Black Rat ( has rum, needs a ride)

So let us know if your coming, have a fish and follow up with a Ausfish xmas bbq and know it all goes to the VMR

cheers

Would like to be there on Saturday for a overnighter and a fish but sold my boat :(

If there is a spare spot on a boat i'll jump on it ;)

It'll be great to catch up with a few familair faces this year, VMR Viccie point last year put an awsome spread on and am willing to help out where I can Mike. :)

Gees I hope I can handle the big rod by then. ::)
If I can then I might just take you up on that kind offer and knowing you it'll be more then a ride ;)

If it comes about I better go and have a yarn to Webby and TOL to learn some lies to fill in some time through the night. ;D

And better bung the cook on the list too Mike. She had a great snooze after the feed last year and won't pass an opportunity like that again. 8-)

theoldlegend

01-11-2008, 02:45 PM

As a former Premier of Queensland used to say Scott;

"Don't you worry about that".

There will be no lies as you know Scott, because both Webby and I are beyond reproach. Impeccable backgrounds, as you know. There are no skeletons in the closet in this job. If Craigie is on board as well, and I hope he is, then you can be assured that all will be well.

Now, where's that bloody number for the Breaka Girls?

Well, you lot keep astounding me with such great support for this get together especially for the kids and the VMR.

a very kind Ausfisher has dropped two full tackle boxes around for the kids, it sort of underlines what this M&G is about, a social pre-xmas get together and have a fish with friends and the kids.

We have a few kids noted down but if your bringing yours along and havent noted it, let us know.

Also i will not be allowing any of you bigger kids participate in the lolly pinyarta!!!!

I can smell that bbq now, cant think of a more pleasant way to spend a morning after a fish, a bbq, and a fun day out for the kids, and we raise money for the VMR.

cheers

Hey Scott

No need to see Webby and TOL
Pretty sure we can come up with some good truths throughout the night.

Tangles

11-11-2008, 07:16 PM

A big update:

we have had a very kind donation of some more wonderful gifts for the Ausfish kids who come along to our M&G, I could tell you more but that would ruin the surprise, remember its ok to outfish mum and dad, but its even better to enjoy a family bbq with a bunch of ausfish families.

So kids get your dad and mum to bring you along,

its Merry Xmas from very kind ausfishers to you kids, so come along.

cheers

Hi Mike,

would like to go and bring the little ones along. Is there anywhere we can anchor close by the VMR that is ok for a larger boat? We draw about 1 metre and will use the zodiac to run ashore.
Been awhile so would be good to catch up with fellow afs.

cheers

Alex

Tangles

11-11-2008, 10:05 PM

Hi Alex,

High Tide is around 11am Sunday just in time for the bbq,,, a lot of bigger boats anchor in the small bay just NE off Viccie PT VMR boat ramp or off Coochie itself, both are close to the VMR ramp.

With HT at that time, with a zodiac I would say no problems as there is a lot of room to tie off on the concrete front part of the ramp, ( not the end pontoon part of the ramp where people are unloading/offloading boats etc,) a few locals do it. Having a zodiac you will have no problem.

with HT around the bbq time you will be fine for access,

cheers

You know, I'm still trying to figure out all the lingo and I've got no idea what VMR means.

I really wish I could have come along to this but I'll be in Melbourne that night weekend. Bugger, maybe next time.

Hope you guys have a great time though!
VMR= Volunteer marine Rescue

Gees that's no good that you and Mr Chicken will be in Melbourne.
It would have been a great chance to meet some of us and a better chance to win some great prizes for future fishing trips.
Sadly this particular happening only happens once a year but there are others to look forward to.

finga

17-11-2008, 02:29 PM

OK then peoples....
Less then 2 weeks to go so people should be better in the know if they're going or not......so please indicate who's going with numbers. :)
Mike needs to know for the catering etc etc.

With the number of prizes for the kids it'll be a good thing to bring as many whipper snappers you can.
The more people (especially the kiddly winks) can only make for a better day for all with a good chance of winning something.

I'll start with the cook and I :D

No doubt it will be a top event again this year !

Unfortunately a clash with a work function will force me to miss out, bugga I was looking forward to catching up with all the crew.

Trophy will be brassoed this evening and I'll run it down to Viccy Point VMR sometime Saturday ? Unless someone is passing through Wynnum and can pick it up from my place ? My home phone is 38901108.

Hope the weather is kind and all can get out for a fish.
So what time do the Breaka Girls arrive ??????????

Good to see the old team (TOL & Webby) back together again, better land some of those Mackerel this year !
If not, just weigh in the bait !! plenty of pillies and a Squid took the prizes last year !!!

As a side note....
For those with boats it might worthwhile to park the car/trailer as close as possible to the VMR house when you go out and get someone to stand in the parking spot when your retrieving the boat just so you'll be close to the festivities and be able keep a closer eye on your gear.

BRING ON THE LIES :)

Many thanks to Mike for once agai norganising this event. Thanks also to VMR Victoria Point for organising and preparing the food..very nice indeed.
Not many fished..I think most were put off by the storm forecast but not too much water to bail was there Callum?
Sunday was a glorious day in the park at the VMR..some pics to follow.
I have not posted any pics of the kids...I will need permission from Lucky-Phill, deckie, herm/great white and 2dknb before I would post any pics of their kids.
As for the adults...no such luck..you are on them.

Mike also organised a pinata for the kids..took them a while to bust it open but they finally managed.
All the kids in attendance received a rod/reel combo which were all kindly donated...I am just not sure who by.
Was a great day ..another successful M&G.

Greg, I have no issues with posting the pics of Brooke. In fact, can you email them to me, as my camera batteries died and I got no dryland pics. :'( :-/

Cheers Mike, for doing this event again. It is really turning into a great social M & G at the right time of the year. The fishing side of things went OK for " Team Skanky " with 5 fish being boated and 3 returned to fight another day. Fish species were Whiptail, Tarwhine and Squire and the old fav... chook gut did the trick. ;)

Brooke was pleased on a couple of fronts, firstly out fishing me again :-/
Secondly the prize for her Whiptail. She really appreciated the Rod and Reel combo and the tackle box full of goodies. :)

I would like to thank the Sponsors for the prizes, the VMR for the food / bbq and venue, Mike for the " Organisation " and those that turned up. It is really good to catch up to a few familar faces I don't get to see to often.

Sorry about not bringing the " Apron " Janine :-X ;) ;D

Well done to Darren and Damo for putting in the hardyards with an overnighter, as well as Callum. That storm Saturday arvo must have looked ominous bearing down over the bay :o

Below is some pics.

Brooke fishing and holding captures and Tjara ( other daughter ) doing her Rexy impression and somehow.... thedeckies young fella ( Mitchell ) running away with the prize winning Whiptail ;D

Yep, have to say great outing again.
Ta to Mike and the boys and girls at VMR. They out did themselves again. :)
The tucka must must have been top shelf because the cook just had to have another snooze under the tree this year.

It was good to catch up with the old regulars again and getting to meet some new.

Who's going to put up the post on who won what??
About the only one I heard was that Lucky Phil won the biggest liar award....or was that best story teller....anyways which-ever it was you probably deserve it Phil :D

My cook was sick so i had to give it a miss. I dropped bread rolls hot doggy rolls bread and ginger bread things for the rugrats at around 10 oclock but didn't see anyone there.

Cheers to the friendly blokes at VMR for making me feel welcome , and the lady member who chased me down the ramp to return my gear.

Darren and I arrived at the Viccie Point ramp around 4:30pm just after the storm went through so we missed it. Conditions were unbelievable after the storm, flat ! and stayed that way all night ;D Conditions were better through the night than today as the Piccies show.

We fished the nothern end of Peel for a heap of undersize squire, a few sting rays, a turtle and a keeper Mosses Perch. Fished untill midnight before heading around to the eastern side to get some shut eye. Woke up around 5ish and after a quick cuppa tried Rainbow Channel for no luck so back the peel and then Couchie still no luck :( Dropped 5 pots of on the way out yesterday and check them this morning couldn't catch any keeper crabs either.
Thanks for the ride Dazza and good to catch up with a few regulars and meet a few new ones as well. Cheers to Mike for running the show.

Damo.

PS: the trophy reel has gone straight to the pool room ;D

Well what a great weekend. Big thanks to Mike, Vic Pt VMR, food and prize donators and all Ausfishers that made there way there.

This was my first fishing trip since the ekka holidays when I went up to Noosa, So I was very keen to get out and have a bit of fun, rain hail or shine I was going to be there, Actually it did rain, hail and shine. I left Vic Pt around 11 on sat morning, with only 4 cars with boat trailers in the car park launching the boat and finding a park was a breeze.

Fishing side of thing I got a catfish, and a whiting. But what saved me in the end was the crab pots, putting the pots down the side of Macleay, scored 6 keeper sandies, with 20 undersized, and 2 female muddies that swam away.

Weather side. Well I am sure you all copped the short lived storm on sat arvo. It sure was fun on the south eastern corner of Macleay Island. It was a wall of white. The rain was thick and hard, the wind blew the bimini half off, the strikes of lightning were bright and explosive and the thunder was quite loud, and my knees and hands swear there was hail aswell. ;D ;D ;D All good fun as straight after the storm the weather and conditions were perfect.

So as new owner of a shiny brass yabby pump, I will do my best to keep her looking good and shiny for next yrs winner, last yrs winner was a squid, I won it with crabs, I wander what next yrs winner will be!!!!

Yes it was a good day although i didn't fish. Put a few more names to faces.

How funny was the pinata bashing,,,,some of those kids gave it hell.

Thanks to all who organized the day. Hope the VMR got some well needed funds.

It's a JEEP thing you wouldn't understand!!!::) :'(
NEITHER DO I.

With a few setbacks on the way to the ramp Damo and myself were greeted by glorious conditions after the storm.As Damo has said we basicly tried everywhere and various methods of trying to catch some fish but the big ones didn't want to play ball.

A big thanks to Mike for organising another top M&G and to everyone that donated food and prizes.Without these people events like this would not be as good as they are.
A special thanks to the crew at VMR Vicky Point for allowing us to use their facilities.

Good to catch up with a few of the regulars and put a few more names to faces.

Greg.
You are more than welcome to use any pics with Blake and Jordan.

As a side note if anyone is in need of a deckie get in touch with Damo(Black Rat)
he is a great bloke and a pleasure to spend time on the water with.

Cheers Dazza

Thank you to the VMR, Mike and everyone else involved!

The Girls still have grins from ear to ear and are so excited about their new fishing combos!;D (Thank you to the mystery donator!) and they have lined up Cos to give them some fishing lessons at Golden Beach over the school holidays!

The food was great and so was the company!:)

When is the next one!?????

Cheers
Janine

When-ever you want Janine......
.......can we have gingerbread reindeers please http://www.smileyhut.com/excited/dribble.gif

Thanks for all the pictures of the kiddely winks.
The looks on their faces was priceless when they're bashing the green stuff out of the donkey-on-a-rope and when they're given their rod/reel.
Actually Paul's young fella scares me a bit. I'm never going to upset him....he's downright scarey with a stick in his mitts.
Heaven help us if he ever gets his mitts on Webby's Wonder Whacker.

And Phil look out for Brooke...she knows what to aim for. She gave that donkey one hell of a swipe to the voice box that it'll never forget. :'(

And I missed saying gidday to Oldboot :(....where were ya??
At the next do you'll have to speak up matey.
I'm easy to find.... Just look for the fat fella with no hair ;D
