2010 River to Mud

[webby]

Been meaning to get this up earlier
Have had suggestion about changing to a Southern Bay event, but it wouldnt be the same, now would it.



Will get a proper Events Page up soon.
regards

[2DKnBJ]

I'm in.

Cheers Dazza

[Tangles]

A Southern Bay event would have the advantage of shorter laps around Peel than Mud, but it wouldn't be Mud and the river holds many surprises;D

[robersl]

Yep i will be back those dates are good for me hope the weather is

shane

[TheRealAndy]

I have nothing on that weekend either..... :)

[uglyfish]

I'm in too, should be some good snaps around by then

[Mr__Bean]

Will it still be cold enough in late July?

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hey Darren
It will be cold enough for most boats unless you can fit a patio heater in your boat.

Cheers Dazza

[PinHead]

bugger the cold..wife's birthday on that weekend but the R2M should be good in the new tinny.

[Lucky_Phill]

I have nothing on that weekend either..... :)


With nothing on , you'll freezer the brass monkeys :P ::) ;D ;D


LP

OH, BTW, about time Brian, the other thread has been driving me nuts with everyone wanting to know whats doin.

Now the issue.

Unfortunately I will be on Fraser Island at that time. Maybe back on the sunday, ???????? Can I weigh in Red Emporer ???? huh ?

I am sure Thedeckie will take over the " bits and pieces ".


LP.......

[webby]

Have had a few Pms regarding date, the 24th is the weekend before the full, or we could have it on the 31st the weekend after the full moon.
Up to you blokes which weekend.
Tides are Sat high 1353 low 1942 sun high 0149 low 0835, would make things interesting.
regards

Oh by the way we found a spot at Mud that holds a few of these fellas recently:-X

[robersl]

i am easy with the dates (no pun intended) 31 would suit me as well i think then i could do the freshwater sommerset session on the weekend of the 24-25

shane

[Fishbait]

I'll be in for the weekend of the 24th. Full Moon not until Monday 26th. I'd be happy to fish that date. Darren

[dogsbody]

Yeah reckon I'll be in, don't know about the trophy holder as yet. Need to defend your title I think eh Biosbro.

G'day Phill

Once the poll has finished and a definate date has been set Webby will put a post up regarding details and rules.

Cheers Dazza

[finga]

Main details are get ready to freeze the dangly bits right off....
Always cold. Always blowy.
But well worth it I've been told.
And it incorporates the annual plastic versus stinky bait contest.

I hope your a plastics fella Phil as they need some help in this friendly little competition.
So what is the record now for the stinky versus plastics competition??
357 wins for the stinkies and 2 wins for the plastics isn't it??
It's nearly getting to be like the state of origin results.....

Never caught a thing on plastics, even with the brilliant fingamjigs I have been using. Best I have ever done was a good follow by a lizzard in the pine. Don't count on me for anything more then a good laugh at.

[finga]

Don't count on me for anything more then a good laugh at.
Your in ;D
People to laugh at are always welcomed.

One day I might even fish this event.
That'll be the day when the temperature is over 15oC.

I wonder if Snelly could bring his boat up...the one with the cabin and heater in it or can you put a pot belly on the deck of your boat Phil?? :-?

[timddo]

You should take juniour out for a run. I'm sure the boat will handle quite nicely.;) .
I have a gas latern in the boat and plenty of coffee and brandy. Since i use big banana prawns as bait, you can always cook the bait on the laterns for a warm feed. ( eating quality bait that is).

[Nico.d.R]

im in , and i hope theres some thing better than a 26cm bream caught this year on sp's , im not complaining about a custom rod and 2 of fingas trophies for a fish i wasnt going to weigh in ;)

You could put a pot belly on the deck, put some petrol in to start it and call it an insurance scam! Opps, did I say that out loud?::)

And what are you whinging about the cold for, you live in Warwick!;D

Good on ya Nico.

It was a bit of a pain last year sorting them all out and posting them.
You'll be able to collect on the day

Mick Chapman....your trophy for the biggest flathead (65cm) from last year is still here.
You never got back to me when you were going to pick it up.
Come again this year and it's yours...:)

[haggis]

Go the stinky bait

Cheers Dazza

I am in for sure, but I wont be defending my landbased title this year, as this time I will have a boat that is running :) well hopefully she will be still going, its still a little while to go....

Cya there

[Mattg68]

i best defend my title this year for the stinky bait brigade against the rising army of rubber chuckers.

..... all hail the humble pillie.


matt

[Horse]

I will be in if the boat is back on the water. It sounds like the franger boys need some support.

[Lucky_Phill]

The poll of whos going and what dates suit has closed.

Results are

16 votes..................31 July / 1 August

Nope. He reckon's Kirra beach is the go.

I didn't bother to check the time though. Maybe it's an arvo do?? ;D

Don't you just hate inconsiderate prick relations. No regard for a brother's well being and outdoor recreation needs. He could get married at sea, next to the western cardinal off Mud ISland. A wedding at sea, very romantic. long as the bride doesn't step on the packet of bait you're using Scotty. Lucky_Phil might charter Rebait to him for the wedding.

Mike

[sid_fishes]

i,m in if the tug does not sell
agh the joy of freezing ones nuts off while enjoying themselves
river to mud gotta love it

I will be in that weekend...solo in the tinny and probably freezing.

Now there's a go.
What can I upset him with??

The family is a bit peeved actually.
She's from a small island in the Solomans somewhere that's closed to tourists.
They could have had the wedding there we all reckon instead of Kirra (I think it is).

[Mr__Bean]

No need to feel the cold.

Good warm tucker, a nice dry bed and a good heater to fish next to.

In reality.......

We might have been warm and dry and we might have got a reasonable sleep when we needed it, that didn't catch us any fish.

From memory smaller "quiet" boats did much much better than we did.

31 st of july sounds a cracker.I have a few coming. Hey Brian , give us a yell I might be able to help with a prize, Cheers, good way to celebrate my birthday ;D

[PinHead]

don't look over your shoulder, Paul. There could be a shadow lurking close by.

[bugman]

I'm afraid I'm in Melbourne that weekend, watching football, drinking and eating my way through Melbourne's delights.

Brett

[finga]

An update to the brothers wedding.
11.30 in the am. Bugger.
Means even an early appearance (read that sausage sambo and a coffee) is out.
On the invite though...very casual dress (not literally a dress you drongo's), fishing rod optional.
Got to love class and style :)

[PinHead]

I'm afraid I'm in Melbourne that weekend, watching football, drinking and eating my way through Melbourne's delights.

is there a rugby league game on down there that weekend, Brett??

[PinHead]

I have already written a check list of gear to take:

Green ginger wine
Green ginger wine
Green gnger wine
Green ginger wine
Green ginger wine.

I just hope i don't forget the green ginger.

Someone will win themselves a top rod (won't be me) plus other stuff Webby gives away plus it is a good social event..if you have not been before..make a point of going to this one.

[Lucky_Phill]

Things are looking up for me attending.

Snapper or Bream ??????

Well at least I know that " stinky bait " will win again.

You never know. Your pretty good on the breambo's.
I think there was only one bream weighed in last year and he won it.
Not bad for a fish he wasn't going to weigh in as it was just a bit over legal ;D

[Lucky_Phill]

phill these dates will clash with the rainbow classic


And ?

The Rainbow is basically an offshore comp held 200k's away.

There were about 4- 5 comps held over the Queens Birthday weekend in CQ- SEQ.

This isn't even a comp, it's an Meet & Greet for Ausfish members that want to have a fish, catch up with other members and meet new ones.......... just so happens you can get rewarded for your efforts and it's is held in Brisbane.

Hope the folks that attend the Rainbow do well and return safely.

I've also made a mystery trophy up so keep a record of ALL catches whether kept or released....
You'll all know what it's all about when you see it. ;D

It looks like I'm out for this one. All boats are out of action at the moment. I will try and get down to the weigh in though and share a cuppa

I will be on duty on the radios early Sunday, so I expect a call with reports on what was caught during Saturday night....... :):)

wont to make sure I'm playing by the rules. as a baito.

thanks
Joe

[Lucky_Phill]

OK Joe.

No worries.

There are no rules as such.

There are boundary's...................... map here somewhere.

Any species you catch you can weigh ( length ) in.

There is a prize for Bream...... It is a secret weight and the Fred " Touchy " Wood memorial trophy ( rod ) goes to that person.

You may wish to C & R.... maybe Webby could elaborate. but maybe a pic, showing date etc on a brag mat may suffice ?

All species caught must be within DPI&F regulations for size and bag limits.

You must stipulate whether you are a bait or plastic fisho.

This is NOT a comp, just a Meet & Greet with a twist..... ;D ;D

Hope that helps.

[Cheech]

Joe, I don't recall anyone doing catch and release in previous years. My releasing is straight to the esky.

Looks like I will be in. Is a shame the wind shift away from the north is not 12 hours earlier for the early evening bite, but you can't have everything. Phil, see you in there chasing bream.

Shane, don't be too quick to claim the trophy.

No Chong this year, though he may be making an appearance at Saturday launch or the weigh in.

See you all at the weigh in.

I think last year for c & r we said that you have to produce a picture with date and time on it to be allowed on brag mat or very good ruler.
Weathers looking a bit crap for Saturday afternoon, but things can change, or else Chief will have a lot of tail gaters following him round.
And no Threadies to be caught before kick off ??????.

Webby,

You had myself and Phill down as paid, I hadn't actually paid but have made the deposit this arvo for me and Phill.

Cheers

Well folks , it looks as if the weather will test us again this year.

It's not that bad and there many places that will be fishable.

The wind on Saturday could be on for the day, but we'll see a change during the evening and it'll back off. Sunday morning will be the pick of conditions and rain should not be a problem.8-)

Overnight temps should only get down to 14, but with the wind factor will hit single digits...:-?

Hot tea and coffee will be available from weigh-in HQ from about 9am. Sunday;D

Reminder.

Start time = midday Saturday.

Finish time = 9.30am Sunday.

If people want to meet and chat before hand, turn up a little earlier at the shelter near the ramp on Saturday. For those with boats and want to stay in contact, listen out on 73 ( VHF ) , make contact with who you want to speak to, and then change channel.

If anyone gets in minor trouble etc, call " any Ausfish any Ausfish, any Ausfish ". Someone will hear you and offer assist. Emergencies are to be radioed through proper channels on 16.

So bring a rain coat, enthusiasm and a sense of " De Ja Vu " ;D :P ;D

Anyone get lost etc.... 0419 020697.

Cheers LP.

Just paid in for Harry_h01 and myself. Both of us are bait fishos.
Receipt number 495924
I assume the boat ramp is ok to use still on weekends. Haven't been there since last River to Mud
See you all on sunday for the bbq
Mark

[JRBK]

Harry_h01 just advised that the ramp is open and you can get access under the bridge. The only notification apparently is the speed limit under the bridge.

[webby]

Looks like Phill has put the necessary info up.
Will have to wait to sat arvo to see what conditions are really like.
Although any northerly will make things tough.
The river might get a little crowded sat night, just hope there aint too many big ships about or security is a bit laxed ????
What time you departing Chief ????.;D

Scott whats the organization for the Plaques, The brekka girls collected some of the stuff for me today.

I was speaking with Robersl last night and he had bigger that that - so no don't kick the deckie.

You seem to have stretched the measurement a bit eh ?
