As luck would have it....I was looking at the wrong roster. 4th good for us. Wouldn't be interested offshore though.
Any Sat or Sun for me.......................(unless the bomb thrower has something planned which is rare)

4th is back on? I am keen, what area are we thinking? I want to go down and suss it out before hand so i can clean up on whatever prizes there are.
Prizes are what you enter a competition for. What's wrong with having a paddle/outing in a river or creek with good company - which is what a M&G is all about.....
ok..4th August it is. No prizes YJ..just a M&G and some fishing. Hopefully can find somewhere with some barbies and can have some snags after the fishing.
NOW..you mob can decide the location.
err...I gotta go to work.......bye
Haaaaa..... What about Tunaticer's suggestion of Ningi creek? I haven't fished it before and love new spots? Shall we say a 7am paddle off? (i.e get there around 6:30am for an intro?)
Oh and is there anybody out there coming along other than Pinhead, Yellowjack, Tunaticer, Wags and myself? Appollo you mentioned you might drag the yak out?
Just jotting here so I can find the thread easier as the day gets closer.......
Why did I sell my yak to Todddo??
Who knows what may happen between now and the though.
There are only two moments in time.... There's now, and there's too late.
Hey mate, I have a spare yak you are more than welcome to use. It is only a little 8fter but it's all yours for the day if you want.
Sounds good. My wifey may be along for the ride as well.
OK Tony, seems Ningi Creek is the go for a 7am launch (Meet up at say 6:30am) 4th August. Can you suggest best location for launch please?
Re: Yak M&G
Ningi Ramp is a good protected spot that does not get much traffic. Pretty secure parking with so many old timer locals nearby.

Other option is Sandstone Point, security is not as good for the cars as it is a popular place.

Localities in the creek that are worth visiting are as follows:
oyster beds near the mouth http://www.nearmap.com/?q=oyster%20b...h&nmd=20110728
Rock bar http://www.nearmap.com/?q=rock%20bar...h&nmd=20110728
Oyster racks http://www.nearmap.com/?q=oyster%20r...h&nmd=20110728
Rubble patches #1 http://www.nearmap.com/?q=rubble%20p...h&nmd=20110728
Rubble Patches #2 http://www.nearmap.com/?q=rubble%20p...h&nmd=20110728
Good flathead can be had anywhere in the creek, bream near any structure and there is plenty of that around, Summer whiting are usually threre in the depths of winter working over the muddy channels towards low tide and the first of the run in as it covers the dried banks. Wintertime Jacks are not uncommon around the rubble patches and oyster racks. Chances of good tailor marauding the creek are pretty good and if you want a parrot or two you need to be working the mouth over with worms or yabbies. Plenty of yabbies to be found on exposed banks.
Some seriously good fishing can be had in this creek mid winter, but I would not want to see any more significant rain between now and the event, the area copped about 100mm this week again.
I will be working the area over with artificials, mostly plastics or poppers. My go to plastic is a 65mm Squidgy Wriggler in Bloodworm colour on a #4, 1.5 to 3 gram jighead. My go to popper is a Ecogear PX45 or 55 prawn style popper. I will be fishing 6lb braid and up to 10lb leader, but usually it will be 6lb leader unless the tailor show up. I will also have a 80mm paddle tailed plastic on a 1/0 jighead for teasing flathead with.
Tides for the day are
05:10 EST 0.10m. Low Tide
10:52 EST 1.74m. High Tide
17:00 EST 0.10m. Low Tide
23:12 EST 2.09m. High Tide
05:34 EST Twilight begins
06:26 EST Sunrise
17:20 EST Sunset
18:13 EST Twilight ends
07:23 EST Moonset
19:30 EST Moonrise
This will give a peak bite period at 7am and from mid day to 2pm.
With the tide coming in I will be working over the upstream areas with the rise and come back in on the run out. Less paddling and more fishing. This is also dependent on rainfall between now and the event.
There is a lot of other structure i have not mentioned that produces XOS flatties on a regular basis for me but I will let you find them yourselves

Seriously Tony? This is all you could come up with? Oh well I guess we run with it. Everyone else ok with this?
Yeah I'm a bit off colour tonight with only two beers under my belt so far........might edit it later on tonight when the brain cells get liquidated.
Jack.
