NPD Permits

[wallyfly]

Ho All,

I have been advised by the chairman of the PRFMA Permits subcommittee that 230 permits will be issued this coming week. 70 permits were available after last mail yesterday[Friday] and will be issued "first in - best dressed". No ballot was required as the 300 mark was not achieved.

Go for it Fishos, bet you catch a 50 plus,:woohoo: first day on the water.

Dino and I know they're there ços we've caught heaps over the years.

Best of luck and don't forget you need a SIPS permit too.:cheer:

Where can you get a sips permit in the npd area?

Tackle shops, mate. There's one on Gympie Rd., Carseldine. The shop is "The Tackle Shop". Also, the website will be of help as well re: where you can get SIP's.

Thanks EMP both myself and the missus have applied for permits so i might see you on the water.

[Angus]

Good luck the those that got permits.

Looking forward to seeing some stonker 50cm + fish.

Hopefully someone is going to read all Schultzies articles and troll up some cod as well.

I know a good one was caught land based lately but the angler is not giving out the details (hopefully this will guilt them out ).

ALL APPLICANTS FOR PERMITS :Please take particular notice of your allocated date/time for collection of your permit ,there are 230 to be issued and timing will be most important to get the job done smoothly.

Good fishing and tight lines. Ian M :cheer:

[ellicat]

Well I didn't apply as I didn't think I'd get up there more than a few times a year, so didn't want to out someone who would get better use (like Dino) if it was oversubscribed.

Looks like I'll apply now though ! Any talk on when the latecomers would likely get their permit ?

[Terry H]

cya Wednesday.

[rayke1938]

Well that has got every MOnday, Wednesday and Friday accounted for for the rest of the year.May be able to squeeze the odd Tuesday and Thursday in also. Will leave the weekends for the rest of you who have to work.

Cheers

Ray

[Terry H]

Yea. I'm sure I'll be an eager beaver Sunday, be sure to get in asap to beat the rest of the guys! Afterall Sunday is the first day that we're allowed on the water!

[wallyfly]

Brian, Depending on when and how many app's, should be week commencing 17 May. This week is going to be a very busy time for the issue team and the marshal will have a ton of paperwork to complete on the 230, by then there should be a flow for the balance. PRFMA webb site will have all the final info, probably today. Ian M :cheer:

[Feral]

Well Clawhammer Ferg and I will be hitting it up on the Tuesday, I reckon there will be standing room only on Sunday and Monday (Labour day holiday).

Ferg wont have his permit by then, he only gets back from his barra fishing trip on Sunday, so I will be taking the boat.

Probably a good idea first trip anyway, I can go for a cruise for the full length of the lease to sus it all out then.

[Terry H]

What do they use for official time?

6am by who's watches?

[Feral]

From what I am told, usually they all queue at the gate, when the news starts on the radio they dash in. I'd suggest ABC, the commercials are often late

[Terry H]

lol ok. Cheers

Will be sure to get there nice and early I think

[chris_stewart14]

Arrived to work to find my application was sucessful this morning... Ahhh soothing the pain of a Monday morning. Frothing to get out there! Bring on the football yellaz!

[Terry H]

So who's going Sunday?

[chris_stewart14]

Going sharking at Moreton this weekend so if I dont spend at least afew hours with the mrs she will spew... I'll definately be out there next weekend though.. Cant wait to see some reports and see you boys out there..

[wallyfly]

Ho Everybody, There are still a good number of permits available so if you haven't applied , hop to it ços they wont last long.

Feral is spot on for opening time....6am is start time for the ABC news and that is gate opening time NOT before or you'll be in breach of the deed of agreement.

You will be told all about this when you attend the induction session you have been notified of.:cheer:

[Little Grey Men]

I haven't heard yet. I think I'm in....I hope I'm in....I'm pretty sure I'm in....please let me be in !!!

[Terry H]

LGM, there weren't 300 applications.

So if you got an application in, you're good. Check your junk mail again to see if you have another "application successful" email

[rayke1938]

Just a polite request to those new permit holders who are going to take along a decky and the decky will be in another car.

Could the decky please leave their car in the area just outside the gate or on the side of the road inside the gate. The parking near the ramp is tight and we try to keep it for boaties and yakkers etc.

Another good idea is to prepare everything in you boat up at the gate so you minimize the time you spend on the ramp and in the turning area.

Also do not leave your boat in the middle of the ramp when you go to park.

Cheers

Ray

[Dinodadog]

Also when it gets dark of a morning, please turn off your headlights when you approach the ramp especialy if someone is reversing down the hill, people come down the hill with thier headlights blazing and you cant see a bloody thing.

[Terry H]

Dino are you suggesting people drive with no lights?

Not really safe is it?

Or are you referring to high beams?

[rayke1938]

You can see well enough with your parkers also when reversing down the ramp and launching do it with your parkers on so that other people reversing can see.

All the older permit holders had it down pat and it worked really smoothly.

Cheers

Ray

[Dinodadog]

as Ray and I said its only at the ramp, as you have to reverse a fair way down the road and while you are doing it people shine thier headlights at you, you can not see a thing.But they will learn quick after being abused a few times. HA hA

[Terry H]

Well I'll see how it is when I arrive early in the morning.

I certainly will not be turning my lights off if I need them

[Feral]

No 1. Its still pretty light at 6am, so head lights wont be an issue for a few weeks yet!

No2. For those who dont know where to go to get their permits, here it is on google earth.

Note, depending on which refidex you have the roads are likely to be wrong!(yes the refidex is wrong) But there should be more than enough people there for you to find it.

Thanks Feral.

[Feral]

Picked my permit up tonight.

was aiming at 6:30 to get to the front of the queue, but got delayed, got there at 6:50, but still only clawhammer and 2 others in front of me.

HOwever by the time we had watched the video and signed the agreement and got out the door the place was packed, Ray, John and Faulked were outside waiting their turn.

Pretty slick processing considering we were first of the rank! In and out in about 15 minutes.

[rayke1938]

Graham and I also got ours met up with Feral,Emp,Aaron,and Faulked.. Who else was there?Saw a couple of likely lads who I think I have seen their photos on site but was too busy gasbagging to say g'day.No doubt we will meet up on the water.

Cheers

Ray

[chris_stewart14]

Yeah I was there.. Didn't recognise anybody.. Pretty fancy key! Going to look for a canoe this week to replace my yak so I can do two person missions.

[Little Grey Men]

Still waiting for an email.

[Terry H]

LGM All emails (to my knowledge) have been sent out. I know people asked to pick up their permits Saturday have received the email.

Are you sure its not in your junk? Lol

[Little Grey Men]

No mate..not in junk, I have some pretty wicked filters on this computer and certain things don't get through. Strange though because I get PRFMA emails every week.

I might have to make a call.

Michael

Just go on Saturday morning at 9:30am and sort it out then if you dont get a reply

[Aaron H]
