Watcha heading out in?


For those lads with the smaller boats. I am keen to head out around the cliffs and rocks in the area in my 4.5 CC. Who else is interested? I am also planning to do some crabbing, even though I have been informed there is not crabs anywhere. Might even do an overnight crabbing trip.


Only 11 sleeps till my trip starts

Damo,
Both boats coming up mate. The formosa and the Noble. Cant wait mate, is the Riptide all good to go? Has anyone got good marks out there ? Tim and I have 2 boxes to tick. Big Reds and some Coral Trout.

Marty

did those GPS marks work Marty? and did you get the emailed hard copy?

and Tim if the weather plays ball then most head straight out to the outer reef for an overnighter or two

there are some Spanish to be had around 1770 headland and also a fish with a pointy nose was hooked out a few kms on the bait ground last year I think???

you can do the run North for a fish and duck into the creek (whats its name?) for a dive or just a relax

I sent Marty a heap of GPS marks for starters (thanks to the organisers of this M&G in previous years)

Marty,

I had my 5.2m Formosa up there a couple of years ago and fished in close 25klms up or down from from 1770 and did well, The trip out wide to say Boult reef is a looong way 60 odd klms, so didn't venture that far. Definatly doable, just need the weather.

There was a booklet floating around years ago with generic marks which are on the home puter, will dig them out when back. Also marks for livies just outside the bar which were plentiful last year.

If heading wide there's a general ring around to see who's heading where and doing what generally on the cook of night.

When are you guys heading up ?

[burleygu]

hey guys will be heading out with marty but there may be the days were myself and or others would prefer to explore the inlet of 1770 chucking some placcys and what not. i will either have my 5.2 cc formosa or my 4.75 bluefin am unsure yet. but from what you guys are saying the wider the better? if the weather is looking good i will be taking sum 44's up i think' not purely for the saving of a few bucks but just for a cpl of afternoons not having to do the servo trick

i beleive we are heading up first thing friday morning black rat looking very much forward to it..

[Tangles]

there is a sandbank in the inlet there you have to watch out for, Damo didnt shout loud enough

As per Damos post, his 5.2 Formosa we got out a fair way, i remember we even took it up a few creeks one day, had a bit of a push and shove reckon i would take the 5.2 CC

Tim if you are fishing with Marty in the big boat all the out wide stuff would be covered so your BlueFin (top boat by the way ) would be better in the creeks

the booklet that the Black_Rat talks about is what I emailed Marty
