Wet Weather State Of Origin Options

[Angus]

Hey guys.

This was raised in another thread but I thought id start a new one for fresh discussion sake.

So if its rains...

My experience down there (about 8-10 trips), I have found high tide pushes mass ammounts of salt water up river regardless of rain. Thus Id say this would be the place to focus.

There are plenty of quality land based fishing options near the mouth so dont worry about that.

For night time dry fishing, the highway bridge now has a walkway under it as well. This is a mere 200m walk from out camp site and will make a good night time breaming spot.

Failing that there will also be large sheltered areas at the camp site and beers

Look forward to seeing you all there!

Angus

it's the flood warnings that have me wondering

the campsite is only a meter or so above the high tide mark

[Travis]

Boat + Swag = flood pffft :laugh:

If it rains too hard party in cabin 4 with Lozz and Glenda, cabin 3 with Ray and Chilly, bowles club for the oldies and the pub for the noisy mugs.

I think Angus hit it on the head about the tides. At the top of the tide will be the go.

Taylor love the rain don't they? I am thinking bait will be better then lures and I am thinking live bait will be better then dead. I am thinking that live prawns will be the best options so I'll be taking my scope net and head lamp. Herring will also be an option if we can find them. Potties will be good and don't be surprized when you see me throw out a live bream minus one fin and half a tail.

Day time - yabbies may be the go for whiting and flatties. I better find that yabbie pump.

Rain - so what!

Wonder if the pub still has rooms

[Feral]

Yeah no worries mate, our tent is only a 4 person anyway, so feel free to creep over my way whatever the weather.

[Nickers]

Looks like i'll have to bring a few more bottles of wine if this rain keeps up!!

[tacklebox]

sounds like we've got tarps sorted with benno on one side of us and dassa on the other. if someone will pitch our tent for us, we'll be set! :woohoo:

Yeah the radar has been showing minimal rain towards Byron. As you say touch wood and lets hope its all good.

Takes more than this to dampen typical AFO spirit

I have to work in this crap till thursday, muddy and wet all day long diggin holes and fixing crap so im guessing ill be used to being wet by the weekend lol

[kreel]

I think its only fair - the fish are already wet so we may as well be too.

I just hope this doesn't scare off any of the Blues, otherwise its going to be a one sided drinki... sorry, fishing comp.

What, dont yaughties get wet anymore? I would have thought you would have been smothered in mobs trying to push the latest and greatest foul weather gear!

[Travis]

[Davo_Dinkum]

that dose not look good

[maxi]

none of the reports are shedding any little ray of sunshine for us ... gggrrrr ..

[kreel]

That forecast is shining a huge ray... spray of poop on us.

We were down at Bruns earlier in the year when it was flooding in Coffs, I won't be going through that again, just too depressing.

[Stick_Queen]

Rain....... 90kms winds ......... Floods??

Damn think i might send Davo on his own

[Davo_Dinkum]

well as far as i can remember every time i go to nsw it rains.

rain not so bad.

floods and wind that's a bit of a worry.

by the pics the bank is not that high,not so much fun if u are water front and the wind blow it over the bank.
