[Master Sardines]

Faulked, No matey, 27 meg and vhf are different frequency so no communication between the two radios

[Angus]

So will most people get there earlier?

Will i be waiting for anyone at the ramp at 8:30-9:00 or should i just head over once we launch?

Angus

i didnt think there was any other time to fish other than dawn :whistle: is it the pin area to head for ive never fished the area and have been looking on google earth for any interesting features do we just head for the pin and meet there or is there a time to meet early ish to follow some one who knows where they are going . also did i buy the wrong radio with my cheapie 27meg should i have bought something different it is a marine radio:(

27Mhz is fine. You probably saved yourself a hundred bucks not having to get a licence that you are required to have to operate a VHF. I've got a cheap 27 that is more than adequate for the areas I travel.

Can I suggest that those who have a 27 tune into channel 82 for the day. I don't think that's a commonly used channel in the area (but I could be wrong).

Angus, What do you mean by \"head over\" ? Is it intended we all will fish in the same spot ?

Ellicat your right i guess. We will all be fishing different spots.

Oh well i guess ill see who i see.

Angus

[ellicat]

We'll be hiding in the bushes and then shadowing you and Tristan to his secret spot:laugh:

[jeff f]

damn damn damn it's only tuesday this week is draaaaging badly, i wish it was time to go now. i reckon i'll be sleeping with a packet of sps under the pillow by the end of the week:silly:

[Feral]

Getting old Jeff, years ago it would have been a bottle of OP under the pillow!

[jeff f]

Bottle of OP and its wake up outside with no nothing (including eyebrows)!!

I am launching from Jacobs Well fairly early, so is there an official starting point and finishing point and times for the BBQ atleast?

Sardines and Chubbs, Can you PM or post with your launch times from the Well. Just so I can get a headstart hey Sards, cause you would hate to have to wait for a sloooow boat!!

[Gazza]

Not sure if I'll be there might be out cruising around on the bike with a lady friend :woohoo:

Where an when are you all meeting for the bbq might cruise past and say hello

Gaz

[polyphonic]

Hey Booty

My plan is 6am at Jacobs Well and if the others are planning on an all day fish to work the tides the BBQ might be quite late, so I will be playing it by ear and may just try and catch up with most of you on the water.

[Angus]

What does everyone think about the post BBQ? Where and when?

Angus

[faulked]

how about an early lunch bbq to refill the tired early starters and to get every one together whos there before you finish the tides fishing

[chippee]

if you want to catch flatties in the pin area i will garantee to beat any of you willing

Now thats a bold statement from a new player. Chippee, does that mean you will be there sunday?

BBQ - Yea I think about a midday BBQ perhaps and then those with more petrol, bait and energy can head out again.

Chippee: Well done. But its not a comp.

Booty, sounds pretty good mate. What about more like 1 ish.....

WE should try and set something in stone sooner rather than later.

Angus

[chippee]

[Angus]

Mate the detals are all throughout this very post.

To sum it up though, people are launching at all diferent times of the morning. I myself am launching at 9:00am at Cabbage Tree. We are still working out a good time to meet up for a BBQ so stay tuned.

wise man once said respect is earnt not demanded! seeing is believing my friend so why not come down and show us and maybe teach some people on how to do it at the same time as i think this is realy what these trips are about

[chubbstar]

Booty I doubt I'll be going, I've been offered a bed on an overnight trip, hunting big Snapper and Jew.:woohoo:

It's an offer to hard to pass up. Leave Saturday arvo be back Sunday Morning, Depending how early I'm back I may shot down to Jacob's and see whats about

Wonna see heaps of pics of the action guys. I know I'll be taking some.

Good luck

[kriso]

A picture speaks a 1000 words! Let's get some great photos this week end.

I like how Kriso expressed it - Don't be afraid to share you tips - we are about having fun as a group.

Here's the problem with the BBQ, Jacobs is further south from Cabbage. How do we get everyone together? 1pm sounds good to me but where?

I have a uhf radio but not a 27meg.

[bootyinblue]

I think its just a matter of setting a location and a time and people can gravitate towards there as they smell the snags sizzle....

[polyphonic]

Mojo(the deckie) and I will be launching at 6am from Jacobs Well.

Any chance someone has some sort of portable BBQ so we could pull up on one of the Islands near the pin.

This would be heaps easier than travelling back to one of the ramps espically with having to park 5 or more boats.

[polyphonic]

Nothing beats a snag on the beach wrapped in bread and flavoured with pilly juice and sand.

[Master Sardines]

Brian, I have uhf want to sit on say chanel 77.. as call chanels in the area are 67,73 and 82.

Sensational idea as plenty of room along the sand on South Straddie...

Over to you Angus.

[ellicat]

Sounds like a good idea except for the person who has to lunk the bbq and gas and food etc around all day:pinch:

Well everyone should have there own food and if we could find a small camp cooker and small gas bottle we might be able to split them onto a couple of boats.:woohoo:

Might be awkard but so will parking a heap of boats at one ramp.

Just an idea.
