Wave Break Island Social October 22-24

[tugger]

it will be good to see ya there mick

[straddiebrad]

we going to camp at the same spot,i was looking at the spot further down near the star of the rock wall looks good and a big area too.

[tugger]

lots of nasty thorns the big goat head ones that go through thongs around there brad then you are high up to and lose sight of the boats and the water whirl pools around and plays havic on the boats just after the rock wall i still like that last place as there is a big enough area to pitch the tarp and have the tents nearby. i think we go down there and a few of us that are there on the friday go along and pick the best site available

[mick fillet]

that spot we were at last time was great.

been back there a few times scince then with friends and family was great. walking around the island i stood on those prickles that you talk about mark.there are a few patches of those vicious prickles. and lots of rats live in the rocks aswell and they dont fear humans.

The ramp at the spit maybe difficult, I use the ramp at the grand hotel that should be ok.

[Davo_Dinkum]

this should be good ,i can't wait .

scott keen to come again ,but he will leave us Sunday to go to the indy .

one of the boys is keen too ,so will be good with the bigger boat .

do some fishing ,bring more camping gear ,no sleeping on other guys boats etc .lol

not real keen on the crowds and the indy being on ,but i think it should be ok .

ramp and island is far enough way so should still be ok .

[Bri The Pom]

Im going to get up and go early sunday morning to take the family to the v8s. Got a new tent and tarp in the week just in case of bad weather.looking forward to it thou.

[tugger]

heard of plenty of cobia and yellow tail kingies caught down the gold coast lately, i will be targeting these if we get outside and there is always a chance of a school mack around as well. i am going to have my mackerel rigs down there and if anyone wants me to show them for the summer season fast approaching don't hesitate to ask they are dynamite on the mackies.

the seaway has also been producing lots of average sized jew by the reports lately as well and all the species will be around on this weekend with a good moon phase in our favour. i'm shore if we ask nicely bri the pom might give us some tips on those big flaties swimming around near the island

3 weeks to go woohoo :fishing:

[straddiebrad]

sounds good mark where were they getting the cobia will i need a epirb?

[tugger]

they've been reported on the mermaid and palmy which is close in but also on the 24's which you need an epirb for

[straddiebrad]

Sounds perfect but if the entertainment is crap we'll try again :laugh:

[tugger]

what do you all think of making it a bit more interesting with having the weekend as a freindly fishing social comp as well with a largest offshore species(outside the seaway) and a largest inshore species(inside the seaway), with a start time of friday midday to sunday midday and the fishos only have to come to wave break island once at least any time between the aloted times. fish to be presented on a measuring device in a photo and results to be posted during the report on AFO all just for bragging rights :ta:

[noname]

hope fully good seas n fair winds and i'm in for that mark or i'll be thirsty i can just see it. :laugh:
