This seems like a great idea! I'd be in it but I don't have a boat, but happy to help out in taking a spot on someone elses to relieve the pressure of finding someone! Mission is a great spot!
Hoo Roo!
Hi all, I’d be keen for that. My birthday is on march so it would be a hell of
a party (fishing and boose). But like some others I don’t have a boat so
would need a deckie spot with someone. Mission I reckon is a good place, but would
go anywhere else.
Starting to get a really good response.
Skippers who need deckies, you might want to contact a few of the guys without boats and organise your crew. Might even pay to have a fish together prior to the M&G to see if everyone is suited....
Looking good!!!!!

I've already met Ronnie, Wade & Scott so any of them will be fine with me.........that's if they don't mind fishing out of glass...........

Glass is fine by me, I'm still undecided between the glass vs ally debate, but it depends on what layout.
Hopefully it will be real good weather, I'm talking no more than 10knts, then I can take my boat out as well. But unless I win the lotto between now and then, I'll probably be without a boat, after all how often do we get conditions like that?
Michael, I like your idea of Brownsville v Mini Japan, a couple of cartons and a BBQ sounds like a good wager to me.
yes looking good so far, i already have 2 other deckies and maybe mega ( Ron ) so means im full, another thought is, if the weather gods be good, is doing an overnighter = 31+ hrs fishing

Alright Fisho's we need to come up with a date for the shindig....
Those who wanted a public holiday long weekend, this is what is available
Australia day long weekend in January - only downside is it will be hot!!!!
Easter long weekend - I think most might have family related plans and it might be a tad tight
Labour Day long weekend - May - this one is in the cooler weather and may suit most people, long way off and gives plenty of time for planning boats, gear and bodies.....
If its not a long weekend, then its pretty much any time next year when the heat drops off???
Thoughts people??????

This has my vote and being on the Cairns team means those beers we win will taste oh so sweet in the heat .
Seriously it's quite possible to get some good weather during January...before the full on wet sets in...
But being close by I'm easy... anytime weather permitting is good...
Scott
I'll go with the general flow but I think too far away and it becomes a dream rather than a reality.
My vote is for biting the bullet and doing it in January............ and as Disorderly has said, the beer we win here from the South will be that much more refreshing!!!

i also will vote Australia day long weekend in January

Good to see the quick answers guys, I'm with the majority on whatever date is chosen.
However if it is Aust Day I will only be able to fish the Saturday and Sunday as I have to be back for work on the Monday. Shiftwork for Aust Day and the money unfortunately is too good to pass up $700 day for 12 hours work...
I might start early on the water on Friday if I get up there early???

I'm happy with any of them really...
January will most likely be out for me though. Everyone in my household is going away, and someone's got to stay home and look after our barnyard. But, it might come good, I'm not sure when they all bugger off yet.
