[Master Sardines]

I'll be going, but will have to keep my distance from Kriso, as I don't need any \"landbased Action\":dry:

[kriso]

i wondered how long before some one pulled that one out:laugh:

[Feral]

Ferg wont be coming, something about his missus's birthday and death threats......

[Oceandonkey]

Score i only have to go to the boat show on Friday so ill def be there. the best time to be on the water for that day would be first light??? (only having been in the bay twice i wouldnt be confident at all of boating in the dark)

[Angus]

Im going more for the fun of the day so ill be there at seven.

Fish the turn and the outgoing tide.

Ill be brining an esky full of snags.

If anyone wants to bring onions etc it would be most appreciated!

So i gather people will be on thewater at different times which is fair enough.

Let just say Lunch at 11:30-12:00 somewhere in the park. Ill put the banners up so its easier to find. Plus ill be decked out in my AFO shirt for those who have not met me.

See you all there!

[Oceandonkey]

well i dont know about everyone else but i wouldnt mind actually fishing near everyone so if you see a guy wearing a green polo top and a white cap, come pull up a spot right near me.

We'll be happy to bring the onions

[Feral]

We will ber wearing our AFO shirts as well, probably smell me though, missus wont wash it until it walks itself to the washing machine these days. Reckons it stinks up the rest of her washing!

[kriso]

well i got 30 kebabs to bring with so first in gets'em

[Gazza]

Gazza, It's probably likely to be a lot more uncomfortable Saturday night and through Sunday than it was last weekend. With a twenty knotter and an increasing swell I'd be making sure the battery's well charged and all the safety gear/radio is up to speed. Here's a good link to keep an eye on.

Also, in case you didn't know, the waters just a bit north of Peel are gazetted as \"Partially Smooth\" waters and you're required to carry flares etc. (The smooth water line goes directly from Cleveland Pt to Amity Pt on Straddie). It's only \"smooth\" for about 100-200 meteres around the shoreline anywhere north of Cleveland Pt as well as around the 3 islands there.

[Bud]

Well the old man has pulled out....something to do with fixing up his caravan so I am looking for a spot on a boat somewhere...anyone.....anywhere.....if not no worries will join kriso for some 'land based action':whistle:

[Bud]

Kriso: Looks like I left my run too late for the deckie side of things so I am going to try some soft plastics at Cleveland early and then will meet you at Wello pt at about 8am. See you there. I will bring some snags and some bread....look forward to meeting you all when you get back.

[2 wheels]

I'l do my best to attend I'l be land based too kriso so you may have company gotta figure out where exactly it is :dry: il grab a bag of nice hot chilli's for any chilli fans, i'l try for a 7 ish arrivial

[Master Sardines]

Nice one Bud:unsure:, I wouldn't like to start any romours :whistle:

If my missus doesn't deckie for me (kids too) I'll have a spare seat but please don't count on it.

[Gazza]

Thanks for the heads up Elli

We always check that out and carry all the gear including epirb

I dont beleive them forecasters We'll see how it pans out later in the week We'll still come to the bbq

Gaz

cant wait till my tub is back in the water

[rayke1938]

See breeze is looking a bit rs for sunday. How do you interperet it eg wind direction etc. I may launch from manly.

Tried to copy and paste it but wont work ( same as photos)

Got some nuclear chicken and pumpkin seed sps to try out today.

Ray

[ellicat]

I'd keep watching it Ray. The forecast is changing daily. It was 3M swell 25knotsSE earlier this week. Now it's down to 2M swell and <20knotsE. It's still going to be sloppy at the ramp though.

[Angus]

Awesome....... ill be in a kayak

Do we go through with this?

The land based guys and yakkers will suffer if its pouring....

And the BBQ will be a moot point???

Or do we take a stab at it and hope for the best???

Suggestions please.

Angus

P.S. I honestly dont mind toughing it out i just want thoughts...

[Ash]

I reckon we give it ago for now. If saturdays weather report adv worse ! If the conditiions get too bad, we could just settle for a AFO bbq day!

[Lozzel]

I'll be there (landbased at arround 7.30am ) come rain hail or snow, See ya there.

[Feral]

Alex and I will be there, if Ray has to launch elsewhere he can pick us up behind the well point headland! I want to be parked where the BBQ is!

[Angus]

Awesome.

Well im a starter for sure.

As is my dad.

Going to get the snags now!!

Angus

[sharker]

As long as its not absolutly pissing down I will join the landbased crew. See ya's there

[Gazza]

My mate wants to head out today :pinch: @ 5pm and do an all niter have to see if that happens :whistle:

But definatly be there tomorrow come hell or high water

and in the mean time pray to the fishing gods

Gaz

[rayke1938]

Just been for a drive down to wello. blowing around 15 knots but ramp is ok as its low tide. looks pretty lumpy out past the leads but like glass on lee side.

there are large shelter sheds with barbys nearby we would just have to grab a section of the shed.

see you in the morning.

ray

[kriso]

well be there little rain never hurt anyone. if it gets to bad just move to shelter and cook some grub/

[polyphonic]

Good luck to you all, I would love to come but I'm going to be knee deep in uni assignments this weekend as the semester comes to a close:unsure: . Tite lines and good luck:)

[rayke1938]

Just been looking at Brownies coastwatch and it says lighter winds inshore early so I will be launching at wello around 5ish. Once I launch it doesnt matter if the wind gets up as I will be coming in at low water and the ramp is protected then. Its just a bitch with a 2 foot chop in a southeaster on the high tide. Orright in a tinney but not much fun with a glass boat.

I will be giving it a go with some soft plastics and found some salted pillys that have been sitting in the boat since I went tailer fishing on tuesday. They are nice and tough so will resist the pickers.

Ray

[Gazza]

Well off we go it's 4.03 pm see you tomorrow with some fish hopefully or a wet and sad ass

Gaz

[Angus]

Well dad and i have geared up the yaks and are ready and waiting.

See you all there tommorrow.

As an inventory:

I am brining snags,

I know tim is bringing some of his famous chilli's.

And i think i saw someone say they would bring some onions........

Ill bring a loaf of white bread as well, but if anyone else wants to grab a loaf, hats off to you.

Cheers.

Angus

[Feral]

If I remember Angus I'll get some chips or similar for nibbles while your cooking!

[2 wheels]

count me in too bread white or whole meal ? il grab the emergency bbq sauce too

[Feral]

Well just about to head off, its been raining on and off all night here, but weather looks clear down there, Alex and I have our yellow rain coats packed just in case.
