Urangan Pier - Meet & Greet. 27/11/05.

[Big_unit]

Hi Guys,
I am thinking its time for a meet & greet. Let me know what you think ? Got any ideas or suggestions, feel free to add them. Let us know here if you want to come along.

My suggestion is to meet at the Urangan Pier, Hervey Bay at around 8.00am on Sunday 27th of November, go fishing then maybe have a B.Y.O BBQ and drinks for lunch at around 1.00pm in the park at the Pier.

Maybe everyone who wants to kick in $5 each for a small fishing comp. Winner takes all. Heaviest fish any species for each group, might make things interesting.

There will probably be groups;
Tuna and Mack group. #
Whiting group.
Boaties group.
really its a case of start when your ready.


Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Cheers
James

[lil_boatie]

Awsome idea :)

[land-lubber]

sounds good, as long as im up there at the time #;D ill be going between sunny coast and mborough during that time, but im keen. be good to share some tips
what about making it 400am so we can get into the tuna?? :o orat least those of us that want too ;D
cheers

[Big_unit]

Land lubber,
I will be getting into the Tuna and Macs as early as I can. Probably not 4.00am though more like 5 or 6 is when Ill get out there. I was hoping to get some tips too.

Cheers
James

[land-lubber]

Do u fish there often?? when ive been, if ur not there by 4 u dont get a spot. even if u are there and ur not a 'regular' with $1000 reels and under 25, you lose ur spot due to over-crowding then get abused when they put thier lines right next to urs and tangle up >:( i have seen some serious abuse on that pier and some of these kids need to grow up and get a life, cause they dont own the jetty, even if they say they do. [smiley=rifle.gif]
has anyone else had this prob.?? BTW, im under 25 and still have problems and as i had no overhead, but a big threddie, i was scorned
ah well, well show em

[Big_unit]

Yeah I fish the Pier a bit, never had any dramas with the Pier rats except they want to ask a thousand questions all at once, most of them are good kids.

I will wait and see how many people are interested in coming before we finalise starting times. More than likely have the Tuna group (early start ) and the Whiting group (late start). Ill add this info into the first post.

Cheers
James

[Lucky_Phill]

Well James, I think your idea has merits.

Are you suggesting the Pier due to land based addiction ?

My personal view on the $5 in comp thing is. I don't participate in fishing comps and or clubs. Just a personal thing.

But seeing as I am in the Bay, I think ( baring work commitments ) I can make it there.

Let's get some more responses, as I know of at least 6 Ausfishers in the bay area.

Just for your info, the jetty at Kingfisher has been going off for GT's, Spanish and Jew. The baitfish are in plague proportions. Mack Tuna and Bonito are in good numbers on the sandbanks soouth of little Woody.

Cheers Phill

[mharper2001]

Sounds like a great idea. I will try and make it ;D.

Mark ;D

[Big_unit]

Phill,
Yeah LB addiction is part of it but I just thought to have it at Urangan Pier gave people the opportunity to bring thier family and friends if they like. Just trying to keep it simple. If people wanna go out in thier boats and then meet up after thats fine too, I wouldnt mind being a deckie if someone has a spot.

Its all just ideas at this early stage, more final plans can be made later next week, once we know who is interested.

Seems to be about 5 guys so far. I have put the same thing on Fishntales, so any members from that site can meet up as well, seems to be the same guys anyway.

Cheers
James

[scottmaclean]

Ill be up there over the next two weekends from sydney. pity the meet and greet cant happen on the 12-13th instead, could have done with some local knowledge. oh well. hope things go well for you guys.

[land-lubber]

i'll be a free burley trail too if thats what ends up happening ;) if anyone needs a deckie.

[scottmaclean]

what can i expect to catch from the pier and also around the marina this time of year??
any info would be great. dont tell me about whiting and flathead please!! hehehe

[Big_unit]

Me too.

I'd sure like to make it up and catch up with you again.
I'll see what I can do.

Can anyone tell me the cheapest way to have a fish off the Kingfisher jetty ?
Just one day would be all.

PK

[TonyM]

Great idea :)

I'll be out in the boat for fishing and then meet up with the crew at the barbie.

Re the comp I'll have a bash if it's catch and release, If not I'll enjoy meeting up with the gang anyway!

[darryl_l]

James,

Will see what I can do to get down there don't know about the comp part of the idea and would probably just meet up later with everyone as I would want to be on the water by 2-2:30 am travel up Wathumba area work my way back to the bay...

Now which boat to take :-? 19ft - :-/ 16ft ;) 12ft decisions decisions oh well I will keep an eye on the thread decide when I can guess the weather better..

[westie]

Dasher - done #;)

Westie - Sure, but forget the handheld GPS #;D
What no crocheted Bikini patterns? #Now they are excellent!!! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]



Oh I forgot about them Tony , i fogot to ask you if they fitted you, as the measurments you supplied were 23" top and the 23" botton with a 27" sock attached to it had me stumped, did I get it in the right place

[TonyM]

;D ;D ;D Shhhhh Westie I don't like to advertise too much ::)

[westie]

Sorry Tony but with 2foot + it is HARD not to advertise ::)

[Big_unit]

Seeing there are a few boats going out,

Who wants a Deckie ?

Cheers
James

[dasher]

Dasher.....You must tell me you preferance, Tea Cossie, Blankets,Shawls or Lg & XSm Willie warmers

Eeerr pass on the Willie warmer Westie, reckon it would be too hard to crotchet using a microscope. :o ::) But a pattern for a stubby holder would be handy. ;) ;D

Tony time to formulate a plan mate. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

[Big_unit]

Had a few pm's asking for more info before they make a decision. So far it looks like this.

Everyones going out to fish in the morning, Pier & Boats. Organise yourself into the group you want to go with, your starting time, meeting place & etc.

I think we will leave the comp out this time, feel free to make personal bets though.

Meeting around 1.00pm at the Park off the end of the Pier, under one of the BBQ shelters. Bring ya own Tucker and Drinks. Bring whoever you want with you. Look for the Southern Cross Flag, that will be where we are. I am sure there are free BBQ's there, could someone confirm that and post it up ?

Unconfirmed list of who might be there.

[scrub1975]

All the best mate....sounds great but cant take more time off work. :-[

[dasher]

Guys just a quick heads up re the BBQ's. They can get rather busy of a weekend, I personally will look at a cooked chook and some rolls. You may be lucky or may be cooking for dinner. Just thought I better warn ya's. ;)

[land-lubber]

thanks dasher, ill be at the jetty at around 330, so ill go and wrap all the bbqs up in SES tape, that should keep them away ;D ;D
now, how to steal the roll from my SES unit :-/
cheers

[ShaneJ]

Hmmm, maybe I should make the trip for the day ::) Anyone need a fishing buddy for the morning? :-*

[land-lubber]

come fish the pier with us, there should be a few of us.

[westie]

Tony looks like my deckies are not available so kick dasher over the side as I am a better sewer than him and i will bring my smoker filled with snags and steak so if some one else needs a ride, hope to leave Sat morning so fuel her up, westie is coming to town

[Aussiebob]

Hi guys,

I am a newbie to this forum, and live in Hervey Bay. Unfortunately I will be in Brisbane that weekend, so can't join in. But I hope you have a great time, and catch some beauties!

Best wishes,

[mharper2001]

James,
# # I am now a 90% chance of being there. #Will probably fish the Pier with land_lubber unless someones got a spare spot on there boat. I've got my own gear and tackle :).

Mark :)

[land-lubber]

ok fellas, heres the deal for the landbased blokes,
i will be at the jetty and will start walking up the jetty at 330 am. if this is good for u, ill meet u there. i should be with Mark from ******* site.
the plan is to livebait for the tunas in the morning as well as the mackies off the end. regardless of the weather. for those who want to come later, i will be wearing the tshiirt in my avatar, a cream ripcurl jumper or an orange ses spray jacket. hopefully we will have a big livewell that we can all share to minimise gear that we have to lug up there.
for the fellas that want to fish for the smallies in the first channel, if u can make it to the end, come and say gday, if not, i wll be walking the jetty later in the day with my placcies, so if u see me say g'day.

if you could plese give me (and Big-Unit) an indicayion of what u will be doing (boating or landbased) and whaat time u plan to arive (for the landies). the boaties can come to an agreemnet between themselves if they are group traveling etc
for the landies, add ur name to the list with ur details by copying this list into ur post
cheers

Howdy James

Can anyone tell me the cheapest way to have a fish off the Kingfisher jetty ?
PK

There's a fish'n'chip just up the road - $2 min chips

[fullscale]

the cheapest way is to get a one way ticket on the barge from river heads and then get the fast cat home they dont check tickets on the return on the fast cat this is all well if you can get dropped off at river heads i know this from a very reliable source maybe someone with some inside knowlege of the kingfisher boats ;) ;) if you know what i mean there for it shouold cost you $10 instead of $38 dollars . kind regards fullscale

[midgeptgiru]

hi guys it Midge pt giru up here in Sunny North qld, gee i miss Hervey Bay i used to go there every hoildays.

[Big_unit]

Well boys its nearly time to head to Urangan. Looks like Land lubber is skippering the pier crew and the boats boys are doing thier thing. I am still hoping to get a deckies spot for the day but if not Ill be on board the HMAS Urangan, will be good either way. looking forward to meeting everyone at around 1.00pm at the park on the end of the pier, look for the Southern Cross flag hanging from a BBQ shelter.

Cheers
James

[darryl_l]

Still looking solid for a trip to the bay for the M & G choices are down to the 16ft glass or the 12ft tinnie, if it ends up the glass boat I could be looking for a deckie Big_Unit but I won't make a decission until Wed weather report. As soon as I know I will post.

Darryl L

[TonyM]

I just hope the weather is better than it is now :-/ or I'll be sitting on my esky at the bbq steadily emptying it ::)

I've convinced myself the new boat can handle rough weather now, so now I want to focus on comfortable days out where I can relax instead of having to keep an eye on the waves ;D

[Big_unit]

5.3m Polycraft will handle as much crappy weather as you can bare from what Ive heard, jobs right Tony.

Pelagic Chaser, looking forward to hearing from you. The weather will be fine, sunny Queensland just not at the minute.

Rock on boys, we are gunna have a ball, I cant wait.

Cheers
James

[mharper2001]

Just letting everyone know that if you are fishing with live baits you can't use cast nets to get them off the pier. #

Mark :)

[Big_unit]

$2 bait jigs are what you will need.

Cheers
James

[bazza_mundi]

Has any one cruised passed the urangan pier recently? no seats no tables?only bbqs!! I'll check with the council tommorow to find out what's happening. BUGGER :o :o ::)Phil

[Big_unit]

Just in case the BBQ's are out of action can anyone suggest a waterfront venue that has free facilities. Probably should wait to hear what Phil comes up with but its next weekend and I think we need to come up with an alternative venue in case.

Looks to be about 20 people for the M&G.

Cheers
James

[westie]

My place is available, bit of a drive but. ::)

Dayman Park isn't far away if needed.

Hey westie will we all fit in you car?????

[bevnarch]

gee dash im a local and dont know where dayman park is ( can ya refresh me ) and is there room to park the boat arch.....

[insanefisho]

between the Pier & boat harbour, yes you can park the boat if you jump the gutter! ::)

[darryl_l]

Big_Unit,

The plan so far...

I will be finishing work 12:oo Saturday packing the 16ft and heading down to arrive (hopefully) around 5:oopm. Book in to caravan park at the boat ramp for nights accomodation. Put the boat in approximately 3:30am head up towards Wathumba Ck checking out any action on the way. Maybe put out a spread and troll for a while then check out a couple of spots working back towards the boat ramp arriving back in time for the M & G.

Still going to be weather dependant but ya got ta have a plan man.

Darryl L

[Big_unit]

Sounds brilliant to me.

Cheers
James

[dasher]

Dayman Park is on the corner of Dayman and Pulgul Sts and entry is via James Cres which is opposite the milk bar.

[Big_unit]

Bewdy Dasher. So we are all set.

Fishing for the morning.
Check the park at the pier first, if not there go to Dayman park for a 1.00pm meeting on Sunday. I will still put the southern cross flag up, which ever park we are at.
Bring your tucker, drinks, friends, family & be ready for a good time.

Heres my mobile number 0418 811 943

Oh Ok so you don't want me to mention the big C&R mate, a 50+ snapper. Now as I was going to say I don't think I really slipped at the ramp, otherwise I would end up with memory lose, especially regarding 50+snapper. So obviously it never happened, eh :-?

No photos of either mate so are they real, only friendly witnesses will help.

[dasher]

C,mon Westie you must be busting to let everyone know about ya bloody snapper, since ya din't stop bragging all weekend. Catch and release and didn't blink an eye, as soon as it was on the boat Westie said this baby is going back. Hopefully he will overcome his modesty and give you a better idea of how it all went.

[dasher]

Sorry should have mentioned Insane-Fisho got 2 keepers a cod and a sweetlip. but apart from that the rest of us were very fishless. :o

[dasher]

..................................BUGGER.......... .....................

Hehe that is bloody good mate. ;D

[westie]

I Did get a Snapper TRUE I did get a tripple hookup TRUE and I did get something big to follow my livey and strike it TRUE

I Tell the truth...... it is you dasher that stretches it a wee bit


Sorry mate how many strikes did you get while out fishing I forgot ;D

I Did get a Snapper TRUE I did get a tripple hookup TRUE and I did get something big to follow my livey and strike it TRUE #

I Tell the truth...... it is you dasher that stretches it a wee bit


Sorry mate how many strikes did you get while out fishing I forgot #;D


Geez Westie, you were busy with that 50 plus snapper mate, I got plenty of bites (alas no hook ups) while you were busy sorting all that out mate.

[westie]

I am going fishing for some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ as I have a craving for some.

MUST say sorry to Nicky regarding the dunny seat ;D but living with 5 girls in the house >:( 3 are cat, and sometimes more demanding that human females, I do as I am told. Sorry I didn't own up sooner but i didn't know you got the blame. :-X

Thanks James for getting it going.

Although not fishing that weekend ( which seemed the best plan ), I made it there for a couple of hours. Now I know there are a few Ausfishers here in Hervey Bay, I can see an on water adventure during the spottie season, and also next year on the Bream.

Cheers Phill

BTW Big_unit, dont worry about ur dropped fish mate, you wait til u hear what i did on the pier the following tuesday :o

[Big_unit]

Yeah Pelagic Chaser reckons I need a little less brute strength and a lot more finesse when dealing with Pelagic fish. I just got excited, my first cast with my brand new TSS4 and Live Fibre got a very good hook up & a couple of screaming runs which I proceeded to handle very well until I called for the gaff, got over excited and gave way to much lift but YOU GET THAT.

Cheers
James
