Christmas

[PinHead]

Only 44 days to Christmas..everyone got their fishing/boating/holiday plans sorted out ?

For me...not staying home this Xmas day...heading out on the water somewhere..just the wife and I..kids have arrangements with their outlaws for this year...home is the last place I want to be this Xmas...having Xmas lunch at Couran Cove then going to drop the pick somewhere and do nothing...so if you see the boat out there drop in for a cold one...should have plenty on board.

[MY-TopEnder]

Hows is the boat going Greg?

Personally, i'll be around for xmas with the family then loading the surf and heading for DI on boxing day through till the 2nd.

(PM me) then we are going to hit curtis island and surrounding areas ie ambrose narrows etc. (MUDDIES for chrissy lunch and prawns) leading up to chrissy. From there doing chrissy morning in Ambrose with the in-laws and then hitting the goldy for chrissy with the oldies. From there is to far away we plan to pretty much Fish till we drop till Jan 29th the day before work. So if anyone has any tips or any idea's or any good spots to go for a fish or camp etc flick us a pm and we will hook up and get amongest a few.

Don't even have the deckie's shifts yet so there's no telling what we'll be doing.

I'm still having one helluva job trying to convince one of the young uns that we'll be alright camping. He still can't forget the storms last boxing day when we got written off and then to get home and see the Tsunami on the news has simply buggered any chance of him settling down to camping again. I'll keep working on him though.

Its bad enough finding a pipe and a pair of slippers in the Whittley but now he wants me to go for a Jayco as well..........probably find a zimmer frame in that ;D My deckie take the piss out of me?.......never! ;) ;D

I'll be doing Scrooge and Grinch impersonations.

I may spend some time in shopping centers popping kids balloons with a pin.

Seriously we are having a pile of people who don't have close family over for lunch. then see what happens probably the pool and some more booze and a quiet nap.

Have a nephew (in - law) who teaches water sports based on the Isle of Wight UK. Just got a phone call that he's been posted to Mooloolaba where the parent company runs a water sports centre and he's coming to see me tomorrow (Sunday). He's got a 6 month visa but has 2 weeks off at Xmas.....................that's me buggered! What's the saying? ........"You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family"......Nah, I'm being flippant, it'll be nice to have some whingeing pomms around at Xmas, he can help me peel prawns instead of stuffing turkeys...........and no, when it comes to stuffing I mean putting bread crumbs into *dead* turkeys ;D;D

cheers

Jeeeeeeeez, he won't be checking on my boating skills will he? :o

[major-defect]

I'm going to Brighton in Brisvegas for xmas. I suppose the kids have got to see there rellies sometimes I'm not that keen on the idea myself.So we'll only be spending a few days there,long enough to take the girls to some of the theme parks down and xmas day with everyone. Then spend a couple of weeks wandering back stopping of here and there on the way.

[Brenno]

i'm heading up to Burrum heads. with the GF and sister coming along.

Brother and i took at mates boat on the weekend for a test run, on Saturday and it looks the goods, all we are waiting for is a compressiono test and we'll start laying down some money on it. if we haven't got it paid up by xmas, i'm allowed to borrow it for that week.

so i'll be fishing everyday, and loving it. :)

[Billo]

I will be heading for Sydney to have chrissy with the family
I feel a bit of rock hopping coming on !! 8-)

[gunna]

Looks like I might be moving from Sydney to the Sunny Coast around then. Hows that for a xmas present [smiley=thumbup.gif] [smiley=thumbup.gif] [smiley=thumbup.gif]

[Pwoida]

I've got most of december set aside for fishing, so I'll be looking for deckies as I plan to be out at least every second day. The last week of december I've got to myself as the wife heads for cairns, so I'll be fishing every day in that last week. Then its off to LA, Las Vegas & Mexico on a business junket in january. Looking forward to those coronas!

Welcome to god's own country Gunna, give us a shout when you get here :)

[CHRIS_aka_GWH]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh six weeks holidays
there is not a fish that should feel safe between the border & Double Is.
I've been a busy boy this year and the boat and rods have been sadly neglected.


up till Xmas hitting the bay & beaches of North Straddie then hunting the run of blues, woos & jews off Noosa after the new years hangover subsides.

Starting a month's holiday on Xmas eve.

All my fishing will be on weekdays, no weekend fishing :D

Will be doing the family thing on xmas day (my side) and on boxing day (wife's side).

Generally, don't care much for xmas as it has degenerated into a big spendfest.
