Fishing Trip??

[webby]

Hi All,
Have been talking to a few other Members & they have been suggesting a trip one weekend.
So was left to me to post it.
The plan is to have a day or evening fishing together(No competition) but a plain old fishing trip. Where Members can talk tactics have a drink or just explore a new area to them.
Area to be decided by a majority who are interested.
Those with Boats will have to be willing to take a Non-boat Member with them.
So if your interested 4 Things needed from those interested.

1. Date (weekend) + Reserve Day (to cover weather).
2. Boats and if you willing to take someone else with you.
3. Location (Estuary or Bay).
4. Day or Evening.

So there it is, If your interested put your info forward, If not so be it, you can only try. 8) ???
Regards

[Luke]

Gday Webby,
I'd be in that. I reckon the pin area would be good from early arvo bbq dinner and night fish through to early morning with a bbq brekky BYO sort of thing. Any weekend would suit me that isn't in September. Thats my 2 cents.
Cheers LUke

[Cremated_Reddog]

Luke, the pin sucks. been there twice on 2 diff occasions and didn't get a bloody thing. go somewhere that the fish live

[Luke]

Cmon Dog this aint Newcastle. What you've been catching are fish but up here they only have 2 eyes he he ;D

[Amberjack]

Brian

I agree with Luke on the format (BBQ + Night Fish). Any weekend will suit me , as long as there are a couple of weeks notice.

Great idea Brian 8)
But Id need atleast one months notice as I have to get time off work for that. you know I only get every third weekend off and now I have to work every sat :'( :'(

Tight lines

[aquarius]

No problem for me Brian as long as its not on a Sunday...As a suggestion how about Deep Water Bend Park on the pine river....5 bbq's there toilets..good deep water boat ramp...plenty of bank fishing spots and its close to the bay if people want to go that far out.
Cheers Brent :D

[Harrya]

Hi Webby , One and All
I am still new to this group, But what about ( Clontarf )There is so muct more .
A large Boat ramp, BarBque "s ,Toilets ,
Good car Parking ,
And maybe some Fish.
I have a 3.85 meter Allycraft Boat. # # I would be happy to take someone # # ( A non smoker ) with me .Most times ok, but Its #a open boat so al nighter might not be good.
But please include me in the list
Harrya

[bugman]

Webby,

Sounds great, It would be good to catch up with a few faces. Don't really mind the venue but it's going to be hard to please everyone. I have a boat but dpending on which one I bring I may not have room but that will decide on the venue I guess.
Count me in anyway.

Bugman

[craigie]

Webby,

Great suggestion !!!!

I have a few suggestions on a location, but it just depends on the time of year it will be held.

Any time between now and early September I would suggest the 'Pin' or the Broadwater. Jacob's well has just had a new Boardwalk built which would be a good 'Base' for such a Get-together.

If required I am willing to bring my Boat along which would provide room for one other person.

Day or night trip is fine with me.

Cheers
Craigie

Looking forward to meeting all the Crew and having a few beers.

[stevedemon]

Hi Webby
well you no me I'll be in it just for the fun you no my boat an I'll take one person with me no problems Esturary will be fine let the others pick the date

[Jack_Lives_Here]

[Ben202]

Hey again everyone.

I was just wondering, My Uncle has a boat and he LOVES fishing, would it be posible for him to come along and bring his boat? or is it JUST a members sorta meet? :-/
Ive only just turned 17 so i dont have a boat (yet :o)
Anway, let me know and ill try to work something out :D

[squire]

Webby sounds great will be their. one additional suggestion. If you guys want we can camp on crusoe island no problems and cook a feast as well. I can take 2 extras, firewood and a fair bit of gear no problems. It will be great to finally meet you all. regards squire (marty)

[gruntahunter]

Hi all I<m new so hopefully u will all welcome me to ur group.I am interested in doing atrip with members and have a 4.5 metre aluminiun runabout. Would like to know more about the local reefs in the bay so of course I could take someone in my boat . Any Saturday night or Sunday suits me and anywhere out in the bay would be excellent so count me in if you would. Seeyas.

[stevedemon]

Hi all 8)
I'm in Webby
you only made one mistake Adrian will be taking his boat so there is room in the Titanic for one (private joke all) :P :P :P

SEE YA
Steve

[webby]

??? ??? Whooo Fellas, we now have some 10 boats and 16 bods.
Suggest if everyone serious about coming and if the dates posted is okay, Didnt expect this sort of response.
Suggest we meet on the Chatboard say monday nite 7.30pm and sort this out, otherwise we'll need a semi trailer to cart the food down etc.
Squire had good suggestion so monday nite fellas IN or OUT.
Whose Boats etc.
regards

[squire]

Webby unable to use live chat monday night as I am on pc at work however im definately in and if you want I will message you my phone number? Regards Marty.

[Ben202]

Hey all,

I just had a chat to my uncle, and he sayd hes in, as long as nothing comes up to stop him. ;D

He has a 6m quintrex reef and can take 1 more person if need be. Altho its a little under powered. 25hp. :o
We can also bring along a small BBQ if we're gunna need more ???

Anyway, count me in, as long as nothing comes up ;D 8)

[Fisherman02]

:D:DMonday night it is then:D:D
see everyone there!
cheers jack

[wombat45]

I am very intrested in going on a fishing trip with anybody that may have room for me.
Never having been out on the bay before would be great.
Just started fishing in the last 6months so would need some advise on fishing but learn quickly.
Thankyou very much for the chance.
Wombat

[squire]

no problem wombat we will make room for you as this is what this website is all about. Learning and sharing what knowledge we all have.

[stevedemon]

HI ALL
wombat I have plenty of room in my boat if you need to just let me know no problems
CHEERS
STEVE 8)

[wombat45]

Thankyou very much Squire it is very
much appreciated. We will wait and see how things turn out on the day.
Reguards Wombat.

[wombat45]

Thankyou all who have offered me a place on their boats, I really appreciate it.
It will be great to meet everyone.
Cheers Wombat ::) ::) ::) ::)

[Luke]

Hey Webby,
sounds like a plan. Better to have too many boats than not enough and I doubt I'll be hitting the bay. Pins close. Will go with the flow though
Cheers Luke

[Lucky_Phill]

Good response Brian. I am just back from Fraser ( see Report ) and it's all happening here. :o

I am not a keen Pin man, but, what the hell. An overnighter in an open boat with a howling Westerlie sounds like fun ( Port ) to me.

I'll sit back and wait for the details, so at this stage, The Stessl, The Port and I are IN. ;D ;D

[shano]

hey guys back again haven't been in for a while! count me in ill be in for another meet up . am hoping to have my boat by that date so if i do i will be able to take 2 with me! :P

[webby]

Rite u lot heres what was decided,
saturday 10 aug 3pm #jacob wells
Bring your own food
If you want to bring your own boat that fine, we have some 11 boats going and only about 6 passengers
so some will be by your selves unless you decided not to bring your rig.
will sort out on the day who takes the blokes with no boats.
camping if u want but most sound like they will #sleep on board.
will discuss plans for night when we all meet at jacob wells.
as i guess some of you dont know the area and being no moon it will be a black as hadies.
will have a bbq before we go out. as low tide at 5.15 at jacobs wells
high tide at 11.30pm.
So if your still interested and going a response of boat yes # or boat no and if your bringing anyone else a passenger.
if u need a lift say so.
jacobs wells in the ubd if u dont know where it is
that all folks
regards

[adriancorrea]

Count me in Brian 8)
sorry I couldnt make it to the chat room tonight the wife is training for soccer and the little one wouldnt go to sleep.
anyway Im taking my boat and my mate superdave is coming with me.
so I guess Ill meet you all down there. ;)

Tight lines
Adrian

[stevedemon]

Hi all
boat yes an i'll be there if some needs a lift no problems
CHEERS ;D
STEVE :P

[Amberjack]

AJ is being there with ringy things on and about his person.

AJ

[bugman]

I'll say yes and I'll bring my boat - but I may have an external passenger yet - I won't know to later.
I'll be there though
Bugman

[Ben202]

At this stage count me in, as long as nothing else comes up >:(
Ill have a boat and a passanger....well..im actually the passanger..lol
But the boat is big enough to take 1 more if need be. ;D

[Touchy - R.I.P.]

G'Day Webby, I'm in (with boat & overseas visitor/deckie)will talk to you closer to the date,good rollup & a top trip looming I'd say.Cheers Touchy.><>.><>.

[aquarius]

:DHi Guys...Gee with all these cars, boats , trailers and people going we had better book Jacobs Well boat Ramp for the weekend..lol.....Count me in and will be there with a mate and his boat.
Great idea Webby...looking forward to meeting the Ausfish members.
Cheers Brent :)

[craigie]

G'day Webby and all the Crew,

Sounds like we are going to have quite a 'Party' at the 'Pin' !!!!

I shall be returning from Fraser Island Sat morning the 10 th of August, but still keen to be at Jacob's Well that afternoon (I'm obviously not married, no offence to married people).

The Sunday morning (11 th of Aug) looks like a good tide for Luderick fishing along the Mud Bank in Tiger Mullet Channel, I'll try and get a large quanity of Green Weed (non smoking variety) so we can all give it a try.

At this stage, I will be on my own so I will have roon for one other in my boat. Not too sure what fish to target at the 'Pin' in August, any suggestions ?

Cheers
Craigie.

[gruntahunter]

:P you little beauty....i finally get to see where all the fish at the pin get caught....i,m definately in and have boat but will probably have a passenger (one of my boys) .see you all there. :)

[Ben202]

lol..i agree with Aquarius, how the .... are all these cars/boats/people going to fit at the jacobs well ramp :P ::)

[landy1]

;D
G'day all
count me in. i dont have a boat but may be able to convince my partner in fishing crime who does, to come along. always keen to meet new people and have heaps of fishing fun. and im happy in fresh or salt, lure bait fly you name it and ill play. from experience there would be massive headaches trying to organise something like this to please everybody, so perhaps it should be something like a bimonthly get together and come if you can. we could rotate locations that way everybody would get a go ;D
anyway see you there
cheers

[Sweetlip]

Was this a success?

Lots of fish caught?

Sweetlip

[squire]

Squire is in have Boat with heaps of room to spare. See you all there.

[jaybee]

I may be a starter (now that I am back on the water) with a probable passenger at this stage not definate due to work commitments. Will know closer to the day,(another fortnite) if so will prob take a small tent to pitch on cruso or there abouts to sleep.
cheers.

[wombat45]

8) 8) 8) 8)
Being new at fishing could someone please help me.
What sort of baits do we need to bring for the fishing trip,also
will i need an esky if so what size would be best.
Thanks so much everyone
Wombat.

[aquarius]

;DHi Wombat....To answer your bait question, Mate the choice is yours...How about some chook gut..mullet flesh..mullet gut...chicken breast..white pillies...WA pillies...prawns..frogmouth pillies..to name just a few....and yes bring your esky with ice so you can make up an ice and sea water slurry to keep your catch fresh.
Cheers Brent ;D :D ;) http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/images/smilies/cwm20.gif http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/images/smilies/cwm11.gif http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/images/smilies/cwm16.gif http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/images/smilies/cwm20.gif

[webby]

Hi All,
Its been cancelled, ;D ;D just joking.
With the hundreds going, was wondering if possible if someone can bring a portable bbq and bottle of course, will be having the bbq at Crusoe Is Sat Evening, before you all go a Hunting ;D. If you can let us know, doesnt have to be huge, but big enough to cook for 200 ;D. transport by boat can be arranged
regards

[jaybee]

I have a small portable good enuff for cooking for at least 6 people at a time..if i dont go I can give it to wombat to take if he likes.. let me know
cheers

[squire]

Webby have we decided where on crusoe we will be set up. I can bring the following. firewood, 3 burner gas stove. Jaybee the portable barbie is a good idea would love to see you there though. If you cant make it we can arrange to pick it up. Regards marty.

[Touchy - R.I.P.]

To all planning on camping overnight,it would be a good idea if everyone brings a bit of firewood there is'nt usually much to be had on the Isl.><> ><>Touchy.

[jaybee]

no probs squire. At this stage I may be starting a new job which requires me to work sundays. On a good note i get 3 days of to fish ;D

[craigie]

Guy's,

To everyone who is bringing a car with/without Boat Trailer, I will be contacting Peter, from Blue Pacific Boat Hire, etc at Jacob's Well to make a block booking in the locked compound.
Who else wants a space booked in the lock-up for the Saturday Night. I highly advise it, there is some thieving scum down there at times !! I think the charge is about $4.00.
I will need to know numbers reasonable soon. I am hoping to book and pay for it well before the event. Our group alone could fill the whole area !!

Cheers
Craigie.

[gruntahunter]

Yeah mate ,definately book my car and trailer in thanks if you could .Obviously fix you up when we see you .thanks

[jaybee]

If i go i would like the secure car park as well. sorry I cant be more sure at this stage should know by the end of next week tho.
cheers.

[webby]

Hi All, Thanks Jaybee, will keep that offer open.
Camping: depending on how many others are already camped there sat nite, anyspot from the tip of short to the mud clumps. where ever there enough room.
Parking: I would suggest some put in at Cabbage Tree and motor down to Jacobs, secure parking at Cabbage tree in the house yard is $6.00 per nite. This would also help if by chance Jacobs wells is parked out.
We could always leave Luke behind to guards the cars ;D ;D.
Will give all boat owners a sheet of paper on the sat arvo with names etc and some contacts Mobiles and callsigns and a few other items.
regards

[Touchy - R.I.P.]

Rudy Maars is also an option,next to Horizon(spelling?) Shores Marina allweather ramp ect. never had anything nicked in all the years I've used it,cost is approx.$5:00 ramp fee plus overnight car$4:00.T><>.

[adriancorrea]

Hi all 8)
Craigie good Idea, Put my down for the overnight parking, fix ya up down there.
Untill then

Tight Lines
Adrian

[landy1]

G'day all
i would definately want a spot in the lock up car park, as the landy is a soft top and i am reasonably sure that some of the locals have learnt how to undo knots. also my boat owning friend is unable to come due to work so if i can snag a spot on someones boat that would be appreciated.
cant wait
cheers

[Summo]

G'day Webby,
New member here. Great idea. ;) I'd like to meet some new fishos. Dont mind a few coldies round the fire enjoying a good laugh. 8) 8) I live Shorncliffe. With The Gateway so close, I dont mind where we go, altho the sheltered waters of the southern bay could be an idea if uncertain weather prevails at the time of planning. Same with Pumistone Passage Bribie even? Whatever the choice, its gotta be somewhere that produces results I guess. Either way, I'm keen

[Luke]

How long you guys going for. I'm asking because I've got to work out how many mates I need to bring to get all your vehicles started and moved he he. They'll be in safe hands :D

[wombat45]

Cragie.
Could you please book one space for the Wombat just a small car
Thanks wombat

[jaybee]

10th of august is fine for me have it all worked out. will bring a 2man tent and a portable bbq,and prob 2 passengers, as for firewood I will look into it. See you there..oh which secure ramp is best for all weather?

[Luke]

Definately not Cabbage Tree for security or weather. Maas ,Jacobs Well or Horizon are all ok I reckon.

[bugman]

Craigie,
Book me in for one car and boat trailer please.
Webbie I've got a three burner gas stove if that helps in anyway. I've also got two fire bbq plates that may be handy for cooking if you're interested.
Never camped down there before. - Things to bring ? heaps of mozzie spray?
bugman

[Fisherman02]

hey joe ;D
So we will get to see the boat eh?
see ya there
cheers jack

[Touchy - R.I.P.]

Bugman,Mozzies/sandflies have'nt been a prob.'cause its been too cold for 'em,as stated before firewood is the item(if camping)that will be required.Cheers Touchy.><>.

[webby]

Hi All, Have secured a decent size portable bbq, which will cater for all at once , will just need a hand getting it in and outa boat. But a Touchy highlighted Fire Wood is the go, so we can have a Beacon for you all to home in on ;D ;D
regards

[gruntahunter]

So what is the latest fellas and gals, are we meeting at the well at 3 still, or just goin straight to crusoe 4 a spot.

[webby]

Hi All, Id suggest those will passengers depart, and those without hang around, as we still have a few rolling up without boats and will need a lift.
regards

[Ben202]

hey all,

Ive been away for a while, it seems the plan has changed? there was gunna be a bbq at jacobs well before we left for some fishing? So now instead of the BBQ at jacobs, its been moved to Crusoe Island?

Im a deffinate starter, but my uncle (he has the boat i will be in) dosnt have the internet, and i just wanted to get some definate info so i can print out and show him next week :D

If its still needed, i can bring a ..small.. bbq and gas bottle, probly only good for 4 or 5 people. ? but if its needed, ill bring it ;D

Any idea for sure how many boats/people are comming? lol :o

[gruntahunter]

gday Ben ,mate looks like theres about 15 + boats plus passengers and Iknow of another 4 boats from my work that are gatecrashing lol.
I think the bbq been arranged and were having it on crusoe , so just make ur way to there mate and u will find everyone.
A lot of us has the new ausfish stickers on our boats now so we can be easily identified .
Webby is preparing a list of names and call signs so we should be able to communicate ok.
Hope this helps . ;D

[Dominator]

Hi All,
Count me and Araby Dog in 4 the trip. Will bring 3 burner gas stove and fire wood. Looking forward to meeting all the other fishos going, should be fun. ;D ;D

Until then....

[bugman]

Webby, guys

Which side of crusoe island do we plan to camp at. - The huts and tiger mullet channel or the other northern side.

I'm a bit vague of that area myself but I guess I'll probably meet someone at the ramp on the way down.

What time is everyone planning to get to the ramp - about lunch time? -

PS I'm on my own now so have some spare room - still thinking of beaching fishing though if anyone is interested.

Bugman

[Ben202]

good question.......lol :-[

[adriancorrea]

Hi guys 8)
Across from kallinga banks would have to be the nothern side of crusoe.
Plus theres more room there for camping.
