2011 Agnes Water / 1770 M & G dates etc.

[NEWBY]

Hey Phill/guys,

]Although you might not have agreed at the time, with hindsight the weather for the Ausfish week up here (1770) in Sept 2010 would have been a bloody ripper. PBA is up here now...

Sunday, strong wind warning, no fishing! A slight window opened (sort of) when the SW Warning for Monday was cancelled, until it was re issued late Sun night. A few still boats ventured out the heads and to the bait grounds for a mackeral fish as it was only 15 -20 early on. One boat got lucky with a few spottys. A few others had strikes/hook-ups but lost out. We stayed out a bit longer (for some stupid reason), got belted for our efforts when the big man threw the turbo switch on, and didn’t even get a hit!

Today (Tues) - blown out, Weds - blown out...but current prediction is Thurs & Fri will be OK (praying) and Sat looks OK... so maybe we will just have to stay another day to make up for it!

Hope the weather Gods are with you for your 1770 ‘slot’ for next year, as they are certainly not with us this year!
Cheers
Brendon

Yes Brendon,

we went with different dates ( month ) to take advantage of more consistent days together for wind conditions. That, and the fact NEWBY paid me to have it in September so he could work his leisure time around it.

Bit of a bummer about the weather etc, but with La Nina weather patterns around, earlier in the year the better. My prediction is that the La Nina patterns will be around for a couple of years now.

Expect some cyclones, maybe an early one in December and then a few more Jan / Feb and even March with some of them hitting areas further south like Hervey Bay, Noosa etc.

We were lucky ( well , good management, some may call it ) with the winds etc and really, you could have gone out every day of our trip this year. I managed 4 or was it 5 days ?? dunno now...

Ya just cant do it can ya Phil. Ya cant admit that with ALL your supposed experience in the area, that it WASNT YOU that suggested the change can ya?
You could have fished every day this year and every day last year too...
We had one day of around 15kn last year and even that disappeared by lunch time...
You may have JINXED next years M&G with bad KARMA buddy...
If you look hard enough through the archives, you will see where the change in dates occurred and who suggested it.

Harden up Pill, get off the Pink Poofy drinks and take a teaspoon of cement pal...

Its ok not to be "the one" mate...
You lost any respect we ever had for you when you started the "pink drink brigade" and believe me, it wasnt much anyway...

Oi Big Fella, with the short memory ( too much SBJD ).

This is taken from MY report of the 2009 AF agnes water M & G.:-

With NEWBY’s promise of great weather, this years M & G was well and truly going to be well attended. Boat sizes ranged from 4.1mtr to 35ft with most in the 5.85 – 6.5mtr range. I believe everyone caught fish and there were many firsts and PB’s.

murf and myself headed up a couple of days early due to weather conditions looking great for a pre-fish. Motored out to the Fitzroy area on Wednesday with light to moderate winds that persisted through the night, but in the morning it glassed out and the fish were on.

Team ReBait put in 2 overnighters and a day trip in the first 7 days…. Knacked…. ? yes !

I’d like to thank a lot of people for this years event.

Firstly to murf for once again providing great commemorative shirts and good company.

To Apollo ( Steve ) and trymyluck ( Mark ) for the bait gathering.

To NEWBY for getting the weather almost right.



Is this not an acknowledgment of your suggestion ???? huh ? huh ?


Some where on AF I did post up the historical wind information for the weather at 1770 in September, at your suggestion. YES, I took heed of your suggestion and did the research, as I would with anybody elses suggestion.

NOW, if ya don;t mind, some of have to go to work to earn a buck to pay for next years trip.

oh...... btw...............

THANKS

Head hurts. Slept from 3pm yesterday through to today... woke to eat drink and pee then back to sleep.
Watch this space...
