i found 2 on the bank and the middle 1 is rhys,its out of the surecatch pack trav gave the kids.

rods

i got a overhead its

crane sports ,5'8 foot ,15 to 25 kg .it cam with a matched overhead reel.

or

surecatch, 6 foot ,8 to 12 kg rod

or

shimano lipstix ,7'6 foot ,6 to 8 kg

i got a rovex spin 4500 or Shakespeare catera 6000 (its rhys from brad ) overhead.

don't know anything about off shore or chasing mac's .

never did it with dad when i was young fella .

only did spanner crabs and some fishing with the big winches ,the type u mount on the side of the boat.

and that was over 16 years ago .

[straddiebrad]

trying not to put the mockers on the trip but not looking good,still a few days to go though.brad

[mick fillet]

yikes!! just saw the predicted weather 3m seas and rain. :ohmy:

well lets hope seabreeze lets us down again hey. :laugh: there normaly out by a day or two with there long range predictions.it would be good if thurs/fri weather was acctually sat/sun weather still early days. All though my hopes of heading off shore has been greatly deminished

[Malcolm]

The Pin trip was pretty windy and we still had a ball so unless its terrible I hope we press ahead

[mick fillet]

oh yell yeah Mal. might have to smack the canals up for a few trevs. might take the LBG out fit and set some shark baits in the sea way from the beach :woohoo: :woohoo: .a big tarp and morepiss :laugh: thats all we need.mmmmmm and pizza.

[Malcolm]

Now ya talking :woohoo:

[straddiebrad]

going by the wind its coming down but the swell is still up,so i might be bringing the tinnie instead,it looks a bit better then befor so a few more days we should see 5-10nt winds :laugh: .5 of a meter swell and no rain so bring it on :woohoo:

[Feral]

As long as its not raining what does it matter, the wind will keep the mossies down, not like there will be much other than elbow bending happening

[noname]

i might just have to get out the flathead lures! damn it :cheer: might end up with the tinnie too, and the basic's. but i'll be there, hehehehe

[tugger]

if it's not going to be to wet and cyclonic i'll still go ,the wind so far is easing over the next couple of days and we'll be on the northern beach with se winds predicted. outside is unlikely but the seaway is good this weekend with small tides = less run and lighter sinkers. i've got 2 tarps and plenty of poles and ropes , table , gas light and bbq. don't forget the aerogaurd and a chair and if you need a pick up at the ramp ring me 15 minutes out

[Davo_Dinkum]

yeah the weather is bad now .

but as long as its not pissing down and blowing a Gail .

i will still go .

worse case if its still choppy ,mite some1 to transport the esky ,bed ,dry cloths over for me .

if not a garbage bag keeps stuff dry .

more worries about the beer getting shook up ,maybe my decky too.

see how it is Saturday morning .

so it there anything needed ?

i got folding tables ,3 burner cooker or 2 burner and oven ,gas bottles,companion gas light and bottle (no extension pole ).

generator (if u have the fuel)or for lighting a n70zz battery ,inverter and 3 x lights and leads,u can hand them from the tarps.

trust me the lights run off the inverter and battery is a good thing ,i haven't used gas light since i got them .

if any of u guys think we need this let me know .

i will being it down or get it to u .

brad ,rob or mark .

i was talking with dad today and he reckons if the depression in the middle of aus heads to the coast or doesn't go that the end of outside .

but the sea way still a option to fish ,i said i get me eye on the rocks walls ,brim i reckon ,sandbars for flatty .

was talking rods and i only got 1 stick ok for trolling ,but nothing up to the job of casting slugs and retrieving mac's.

my bigger and longer rods are only 8 foot 4 to 6 kg and 7"6 foot 6 to 8 kg ,only other long rods i have are surf ,which are to light as well .

but look at the weather i don't have to worry about that .

worst case weather ,as long as tugger is still there .

i will go ,just hit some1 up for a lift ,if its to bad for the tinny.

[tugger]

no worries dave i can ship your stuff you want dry and any other heavy gear what time r u thinking of coming

mark

[Bri The Pom]

I'll be going over early saturday morning from the grand hotel if anyone wants a lift over.Just yell.
