MISSION POINT 19 OCTOBER

[Araby_Dog]

Hi Guys,

Only 14 more sleeps until the next Ausfish M&G trip.

Me and Dom haven't been here before so for starters we'll bring along a gas stove, table, 20lt fresh water plus our normal gamping gear.

Just the 2 of us coming in the Deficator.

I also have not been before .
Can anyone tell me what the anchorage is like and how deep or will a tinny be required to beach it overnight,and to go fishing in?
Thanks Reel Hard .

[gruntahunter]

Hi reel hard .Mate anchorage is sandy bottom and is quite steep into deep water so any size vessel is fine.It gets a bit shallow at low tide going out from Donnybrook but keep up on the plane and you got no worries. The channels are all marked really well .
The camp sites are pretty level and there is a toilet there. There is a natioal park charge of $5.00/ person which is to be paid in the appropiate box.
As for the fishing spots a tinny is obviously better if u want to get right up into the creeks but the mouths are all deep water.
Hope this helps.
Oh you can have a fire going by the way so I will be taking fire-wood for cooking and boiling the crabs.

[gruntahunter]

Sam there will be 4 in the gruntahunta boat and i also will take fresh water. firewood and barbie plate, crab cooking pot AND rid,dettol,babyoil mixture.......don't forget it.....be warned!

[Fisherman02]

hey guys
is it worth bringing the surf rod and alvey, and maybe some pillies (the mushy ones ) ?

cheers jack

[gruntahunter]

No mate, surf is way way yonder (unless u can cast about 20k's) unless u want to throw it off the bank at night into the main channel and try for a jewie or 2.

[Fisherman02]

yeah might as well it is two piece,
Is that all you can get in the channel or are there other fish that will take a pillie?
cheers

[Touchy - R.I.P.]

Anyone without a boat that wants to go & can get Friday off let me know I now have a spare seat Cheers T.><> ><> ><>.

Hi Guys

I camped there on Friday Nite. Went up there to party with Col (Fisher Boats) it was his B'day.
Got a feed of crabs. I found the northern end was best, a bit muddy in front of the toilets a low tide.
A few schools of tailor were incounted south

[gruntahunter]

Hey michael,where did u get the crabs mate and ur right the nortern end is much better as it is steeper back into the water with sand not mud and rocks

[MICHAELG]

Hi Gruntahunta

around the mouth of glassy in the deeper water. the tailor were south of Yellow X out from donnybrook near the Shoal marker sign. Also there were heaps of greasy prawns jumpin. I will take my net next time

the best thing was no noisy jetski's. I usually do the pin area & u cant swing a cat without hitting one

[webby]

Was wondering what the tide time difference is from bribe bridge to mission point. fellas
regards

[gruntahunter]

mission point is near Donnybrook so look for the tides there but the passage is funny this far up and further as the tides come and go from both directions.
