queensland Saturday October 3

[tomca]

Wind forecast is not good for Saturday but is the only day free for me.

Thinking of finding some sheltered canals around Sanctuary Cove or Tally creek.

Sunrise to whenever is the plan. Anyone else keen for a yak?

[yoyo]

for sure mate.... i reckon sanctuary cove...

[Rocket75]

I'd be keen too, need to confirm later in the week.

canals work for me.

[Angus]

Good luck though!

[Do$tylz]

yep.. count me in... but sunday does look better....

[tomca]

weather better on sunday, but my quality of life would rapidly decline if I did not spend it with SWMBO

[Do$tylz]

hahaha... ok whats the plan??

[Leighton]

Its the last week of School Holidays, Talle Creek is like Queen St

I had a session way up river and there was still tools skiing up in almost the fresh

[tomca]

I think we launch behind dreamworld and attack the fancy peoples pontoons along the sanctuary cove stretch of the river.

[yoyo]

OK...i'll bring the Bollinger.....

[Rocket75]

what's the dress code? black tie? tux? birthday suit?

just finished my sounder re-install on the sport and keen to try it out!

[tomca]

mmmmmmm....can't wait to see Rocket looking good in his birthday suit :laugh: :kiss: :blush:

[yoyo]

cool....yesterday picked up a GPS and a Cuda 250i on sale at Bias for 299 (rrp449), not bad.

But i still have to install it... this could be an issue for a white collar desk jockey like me......

[yoyo]

So gents, for those that are up for a sat morning canal sesh around sanctuary cove, wanna hit the water down near the marina out the back of dreamworld ?

Down the end of Shipper Drive could be a good place to start off from....?

should prob hit the water by 0500 ?

[Do$tylz]

sounds good... there are massive bream right at the launch spot...very finnicky though... 5am... sounds good

[yoyo]

we'll see if they can resist a big juicy banana prawn from coles...........

[tomca]

Thats where I was thinking of launching yoyo, and we can show you how simple a sounder install can be.

Henry, I thought you were the self crowned bream king after the flatty social. Also do you need your yak shipped down too, or you got the bus for Saturday?

[yoyo]

actually i was having a look over on akff.net and a few of those guys have some really slick cupholders installs for their hobie's..... but i am basically useless with that kind of stuff.. i'd pay someone to do one up for me though !

what kind of batts are you using for yours tomca? these guys over on akff are using 6-8 AA's, meanwhile i bought a 7amp(?) deep cycle (i think?), its pretty small... dude at the shop reckons it will run the sounder for about 3 hrs, but the guys on akff using the AA's are getting 10hrs easy...WTF...?

[efc]

Hey guys i will be launching up further from the boat ramp off foxwell road if you see 2 guys in a hobie and cobra kayak give us a yell.

cheers

Nick

[Cowfish13]

Hey yoyo, I think I know what one you've got. Pretty sure it's 7.2Ahr, 12V and 2.2A. I've got that one and I've used it with the sounder (Just an Eagle Cuda 128) for easily over 20hrs without charging. If it is 7A though, I'd be checking that it's not too big for your sounder. That's alot of current

[Do$tylz]

Tom - if you're cool to drive me again, mate I might drag my yak to yours Friday night if thats cool?? Don't want you to be waiting on me again at 4am.... pm me your addy and what time you'll be home Friday night.

Same to you EFC.... if you see 2 hobies and a profish... that'll be us

Yeh it's a 12V/7Ah battery... heavy little f*cker...

The sounder i have is an Eagle Cuda 250i..

I haven't got anything rigged up yet though, unlikely to by sat morning as well. I'm really quite impressed with the setups these guys on akff have, just waiting for my logon to be approved and i might start offering fee for service over there ! :laugh:

sh*t..i went into Bias to see what GPS's they had and walked out of there 500 clams lighter........... :silly: :S

ahh well....that's typical me......

[Rocket75]

yo yoyo,

you have a hobie sport yeh? me too! If I make it on Sat (look good at this stage ) then I'll show you how my sounder is set up (done by the prev owner), you might like some of his ideas.

rocket

[yoyo]

kool rocket, that would be really good.... i'll let you look at all the fish i catch as well....

[Rocket75]

quality beats quantity...but I'd be happy with either

[tomca]

yoyo, I too get over a weeks fishing out of that battery size before I even think about charging it.

Sure thing Henry. But be warned 3 of us have to squeeze into the cab of the truck. I'm taking Keen-as-fisho and his yak as well

Rocket. You know you wanna come. There are jacks. If Keen-as can get one anyone can

So was this the final plan for tomm AM?

I'm keen...who else is in?

yoyo ?

do$tyle ?

tomca ?

keen as fisho ?

rocket

[tomca]

Do$tylz just called me. He will meet us at the ramp at 5am. I'm picking Keen-as and his yak. Can't say either way for anyone else. Mechanical failure will be the only thing stopping me getting there.

[Rocket75]

OK 5am it is. I'll be there.

End of Shipper Drive? Is that a ramp or park? what should I be looking for?

rocket

[Keen-as-fisho]

It should be a good day tommorow

Rocket there is a marina to the left and a model plain field to the right.

thanks mate.

I google mapped it and was trying to figure out what the big field was for...would never have guessed that!

[Keen-as-fisho]

I think I got my lefts and rights back to front for the field and marina :blush:
