queensland Beacons with Ray and Chilly

[Brian D]

Hi

The conditions look great for a bay trip on Sunday morning so Ray and I will be leaving Fishos boat ramp about dawn or then abouts. Proberly have a go at the pipeline than out to the 4 beacons and over to mud and back again. (in no particular order).

Any AFO guys want to join in make a day of it? We'll be baiting, spining, dropping sp's & bibless cranks at every hole and anything that moves or looks fishie. We may even pop into boggy for a bit.

how many beers will it cost to tow the yaks over to mud for henry and myself

and back!

[Eug]

the missus and i are looking to put in at fishos on sunday morning as well... not too sure how the conditions are or even sure if the boat will make it that far to the beacons 4.2m runabout with a 40HP donk? if it's glassy then sure... we've been to peel island in some slight chop and it handled pretty well.

oooh... thats a good call Tomca

Eug the conditions will be perfect, 0-4 knots prediction atm. Just the right sort of waether for tom and henry to paddle to mud and back. :laugh:

i reckon on a nice day u.would get out to the beacons .

just head home before it winds up in the arvo .

bay seams to get blowy and choppy in the arvo a fair bit form my experiences .

i have seen it get nasty coming home from peel,and even near coochie.freak storms etc.

but on a nie day we used to go over to peel in a 10 foot tinny .

I reakon ya need to check ya forcast again mate,this is what brownies coast watch says

Sunday: SW/S winds 10/15 knots at first, tending NE/N 10/15 knots during the morning.

Make a sloppy day with a run out tide

[Eug]

cool thanks for the tips guys... yeah the weather report seems to be changing dramatically... will give a final check on saturday night/sunday morning

[Brian D]

seabreeze says 4...my boat will take 40knots

[mookystiks]

How long you think youll be out there Brian?

Would love to come along but have to be back in time to get some stuff done for next week.

[Brian D]

sorry mooky I have set the boat up for two with only two seats. Not sure how long but the weather and fish will tell me tomorrow. Being sunday and a manly supporter I will be back in time for the footy.

Hope manly does better than we did.

Still a great day highlight was guy pulling up next to us and saying " excuse me mate can you tell me where Mud Island is?"

Cheers

Naah - its was Nessy there - she ate em all!

[Eug]

took me a second read to figure out what N A F T stood for. What time were you guys out? We launched around 0730 from fisherman's island and from there right to the mouth was covered in thick fog! Sounds like you had some nice weather out there, we were struggling to pull in fish also, tried the pipe line for not very much and boggy creek paid off with one keeper flatty.

[rayke1938]

Fog was very thick at Redland Bay at 4.30 when we left and cleared up as soon as we got inland. lainched at whyte island ramp and clear out to end of shipping beacons. Fog came in just after 7. We tried most of the beacons on the way in for zilch then trolled around Boggy for the same. Went right up to the pipe after the footbridge. Think we may have seen Davodinkum launching in a small tinney around midday.

Cheers

nearly forgot. We were sitting next to last green and were just contemplating whether we should tie up to it as we couldnt get the boat to sit in correct position when young bird in rubber ducky came along side and said owitsgoing mates.

Thought our luck had changed :blush: and realised it was friendly water police checking us out.

Must have thought we were too old :blush: as they moved off after telling us only fish being caught were winter whiting.

At least relieved the boredom of catching nothing. May have been a bit different if we had tied off to the green.

Cheers
