I'm still going... Leaving tomorrow morning...

I'll put the V-sheet out if I break down!!

[SCOTTYGC]

what time you leaving MINi?

[mini696]

I will hopefully be on the road before 8am (be up there around 1pm). #But if I pack tonight, I might get itchy feet and leave even earlier. But I doubt I'll get away before 8am. #I'm now going by myself (my deckie has to work), so I can make a move when ever I want to.

I put my car in to get new rear shocks and panard rod bushes today, so I'll pick it up and pack it this afternoon.

I think I may be a little too paranoid regarding my car. It hasn't let me down in a bad spot since its been into the machanic, (it has been playing up a bit in the last 12 months though). #But you know what its like when you get a series of problems, you loose faith in the car, until it prooves itself to be reliable again.

How about yourself Scotty, when will you be travelling up? #What's your rig look like?

PS #Is it quicker to go into 1770 through Bundy or Miriamvale (sic)?

[Maria]

Personally I reckon quicker through Miriam Vale.

Guys
You are best to go via Bundy, Turn off at apple tree creek-just past childers, go straight thru bundy and take the turn to gin gin, about 3ks out of bundy turn to 1770.
Saves at least 30mins.
Drive carefully all.
Regards, Tony

Must be something about our recent M&G's and the Weather Gods . From the look of the forecast we will head up Monday rather than the weekend. Still plenty of time for a few cleansing ales and a bit of a fish though . Just hope for a break.

Weather looks like crap, check this out:-

Saturday until midnight: S/SE winds 20/30 knots increasing to 25/33 knots late tonight. Seas 2.5 to 3.5 metres in open waters. Scattered showers.
Sunday: S/SE winds 25/33 knots, reaching 30/40 knots in offshore waters during the day. Seas 2.5 to 3.0 metres inshore, rising to 4 metres in open waters on and rising SE swell. Scattered showers.
Monday: SE winds 25/33 knots, reaching 30/40 knots in offshore waters.
Tuesday: SE winds 25/33 knots.

Today though it looks like the BOM got it wrong, out near rundle it was only blowing 13 knots and gusting to 15. Not perfect by anymean but fishable for those that wanted to get out for a bit of a bash. Wouldnt go out know, the wind is slowly picking up. So it looks like the BOM got it slightly wrong for today.

Ratman and myself made the difficult decision not to go due to the weather and some pressing work commitments. Has anyone heard how the Ausfishers are going? The Muddies and Jacks must be shaking in their boots being the main target for a lot of itchy fishos.
