[Spot82]

I'll be there with the family as usual. Hopefully give kitty kat and a few of the locals a run on those red ones! :P

Lets hope the weather plays the game, last year was fairly good for the majority of the comp.

We have got a house close to the club Justin. No staggering up that bloody hill like last year:P .
A call the week before would be great.
Are you going to fish it this year?

I thought the weather was pretty awesome last year mark. 5 great days.

Cheers
Scott

[skipalong]

Ahh rightio niice, were originally had a house on the same street, or should i say accross the rd from the complex but opted it was to close and we wouldnt leave the club ;D , so we go a house a little bit further away:D i will be there but wether i fish the comp or not will depend on the weather and fish, i will be up there 1 week and a bit prior to the start of the comp to do some fishing 8-) will give ya a call mate

Spot 82 Never Fish Up That Way Before Looking At Going Up For The Classic Heard A Lot About It.. What Is The General Depth And Area For The Red Ones Up That Way Are They As Thick Ar The Ones Of 1770.. What Pe Tackel Flys Do You Think Would Work In These Conditions As I Was Going To Make A Order With Sean .

Kind Regards

Frank

[rainbow runner]

Hey Anthony

Mark

[kitty_cat]

I think i will be throwing a little tracking device in the back of your boat "just incase";D

[Reefmaster]

Damn all this talk has me interested in going up for the comp.

Anthony keep the flys away from the Rainbow beach Reds will you I don't want them going quer from those pretty crossing dressing fly baits.

Should be a busy comp this year hope the weather plays the game.

Greg

[Spot82]

Greg I think you should stay home and fish the Redland Bay comp with Foxy, you have an unfair advantage when it comes to DI Reds :P Kitty Kat this applies to you to haha.

PEtackle flys don't work what are you on about? :P

Mark will be staying next door again, so will see you up there :)

Most of the ground of Rainbow is around 50 metres, I have boated less than 10 reds in all the trips I have done off DI and boated more than that last trip alone at 1770, still lots of looking to be done off DI for me yet. :( You are better off following ReelScream than me :P

[kitty_cat]

i hope you make it greg would be great to catch up with as many people as possile i might even get mick(outwide) up as well.
wayne

[MEGA'bite]

[maztez]

Brett (brejen ) and I have booked the house ....got the crew organized and are heading up this year to have a lash at it .We didn't do The Hookup this year instead opting to do Rainbow Classic instead ...

[Smithy]

Yep we too have a house booked not far from the Sports Club. Will have the Stabi there and Luke's Cairns Custom Craft centre console cat"Screaming Seaman". It was Ivan's at one stage and Luke bought it off Nathan Dumschat so it has some red hot marks in it.

Brenden

Town Planning Consultant, have my own business.... No point working hard if you can't take time out to go fishing when the weather is good ;) plus i can work from just about anywhere as long as I have my laptop and mobile phone. I typically only get out once every 3-4 weeks.... Plus i am living the worry free single life, no leave forms to fill out when I want to go fishing haha :P

So i will be working every day the weather isn't favourable for fishing :(

Scotty, you will keep mate, you will keep...

[Brejen]

we'll be heading up this year... We have booked a house somewhere near the Shell.
Decided to give the rainbow comp a go instead of the Hook-Up..
Hoping to catch up with you all and gets some insight of the bar and general areas to head..
Cant wait to have a few days off, now just got to get this new trailer finished 1st

Brett

[MEGA'bite]

Yeh should b a great turn out Wayne lets hope the weather gods r on our side, we are staying behind the shell, two trophys and a 7 mtr sportsfish

[dayoo]

Might go up for the first two days of the comp just for a look and meet some Ausfish members. I have to drop off some terminal tackle for the charter boys and local pros so I will bring up some extra glow jigheads and sinkers to sell if anyone is interested.
Look for the old bastard in the red Mazda;D

Cheers

Might be able to bring some glow hussar, but I don't think Sean will have time to make any Slimeys before I leave. I'll get him to give me a few flys to take up as well, depending on what he has made at the moment. How many would you want?

[feral cat]

possibly only just 1 of each to try them.thats 1 slimy glow big bait and 1 husser glow big bait thanks...justin

[vertico]

Justin, he has about 5 of each on him just find him, look for the big girl with the expensive haircut.

[feral cat]

hahaha vertico might be easy then ill keep my eyes peeled;D

Just got a report from the coast guard 2mt swell blowing 30 knots should be a good comp rock n roll baby rock n roll

[feral cat]

with that report thatll keep the little boys away:D cats love 2mtr swell.

[Spot82]

I went out over the bar this morning in 37 knots..... Good luck to you boys in cats crossing the bar, its not pretty... Old man has a busted nose after this morning hahaha

[Spot82]

Well done to Scotty ReelScream for biggest fish of the day yesterday! Spanish Mackeral going nearly 18kg, awesome effort on a very average day!!! Unfortunately no esky for you :P

Me and the parents toughed it out in 30 knots and 3 metre seas and I managed a 2.1kg Squire which was biggest for the day and 1.1kg parrot which was good enough for second place, getting two eskys in the process :P We only put four fish in the esky for the day!!! :(

Conditions again very average today, and fish not playing the game really.

Weather is looking fairly average for the rest of the comp, so not sure if we will see the big reds this year that are usually weighed in most years, sure Kitty Kat is out there as we speak trying to get some in the esky!! :)

[perko]

You are a mad bastard Anthony. When are you going to learn when the wind blows don't go. I must be getting old, but I have had enough rough trips for my life. Anyway well done on your prize winners. Safe fishing for the rest of the comp.

Take your balls out of the jar on your wife's bedside table already :P

Weather hasn't been that favourable but it is fishable and there are some good fish in various areas when you know where and when to be there :)

Well done to Kezza on the biggest red tonight at around 9.1kg, you pipped me by a bit, if only the sharks hadn't stole the big ones!! Ended up with biggest snap for the night and biggest so far for the comp, have lost bigger ones on the same spot though :(
