Yeh fair enough.

Stay longer the women will not want you around anyway trust me :woohoo:

I should be right for this one Mark. Missus has a Bridal Shower at 2pm so would just have to skip the after-gathering unfortunately. May have one decky spot available in my 14ft 30hp tinny - will advise closer. Not sure where I'd go yet - prob somewhere around Peel if the weather is good.

Ahhhh, forget to extrapolate - this means I'll be on babysitting duties ......

Mark - I'm about to send you a PM regarding this event.

[tugger]

Thats alright Eddie hopefully they can fish better than they play footy

Mark, do you realise you have a filthy blues supporter on board your boat for the social!!!! :whistle:

[MICHAELG]

Can't make this or the peel social will be interstate on both of the nominated w'ends. Hope weather is great for you all

Michael

[Jnr79]

PM sent Manni. Very keen if you still got a spot.

[tugger]

To early to tell yet with the weather Dave and the tide will be the last of the run in tide just on dawn which is good for the bar

Any advice on what the weather and the ride over the bar will be Mark?

[Seiran]

I'm hoping to make this one. I won't know for sure until Friday though.

[kmcrosby78]

Just looked at Seabreeze. Windy all week then miraculously barely a breath of breeze on Sunday - can we 'lock it in Eddie...........'. Here's hoping!!!!

[tugger]

There is 2 large high pressure sytems over southern australia and you generally get a couple of days with the gap between them of lower winds as it passes through the timing of this will be more evident in a day or 2 .

I was hoping we would have had a true winter pattern by now with calm weather for close to a week with the high pressure systems further north over the central part of the country but planning these events this far out is a roll of the dice with the weather.

[Baptism]

any deckie spots left?

earned enough brownie points to get out of shopping duties this weekend

[haines490slc]

you reckon the bar will be ok tugger?

[tugger]

It will all depend on the swell height and direction by the weekend the forecast is looking alright for the bar the tide is in our favour with high tide just after 7am the wind is looking good so far and will keep a close eye on it i'll keep you updated

you reckon the bar will be ok tugger?

[pancakes_and_haggis]

Bring I those big nobbies

[PlasticFantastic]

Pack the rain coats guys as the beuro is predicting alot of rain for the weekend Sunday included.

Cheers

Mark

[tugger]

As with the previous socials we will go ahead and hope it doesn't get us wet you just can't plan these events that far out with the weather in mind, anyway the snapper won't notice

[Baptism]

[tugger]

[Angus]

Woot.

Ill be there with serguht for this and looking forward to it.

Will chase the snapper pretty hard but may keep a chrome tied on in case I see anything busting

Angus

[Funfisher]

i may be able to make this one after all as the weather in Hervey is not looking good.. i will know tommorow afternoon.

[Baptism]

may have to sit this one out, havent found a deckie spot yet

[aussie123]

I havn't checked any charts yet but I noticed a warning on the ABC this morning for dangerous surf conditions from Norah Head right up to Yamba.

Lets hope that ground swell doesn't push up any further over the next couple of days.

[Angus]

Is it $10 as per usual?

[tugger]

Yes Angus we will have a $10 Entry if you want to be part of the chance at the pot at the end of the day and will be split up as in the event social page 1st 30% 2nd 20% 3rd 10% and will donate 40% to AFO

[Baptism]

good way to get funds for afo as well

might just go squidding this weekend, snappers love squid

[tugger]

Details for tomorrow

So i'll meet everyone at the ramp at cleveland i'll be there from 0430 till 0530 when i'm off fishing so come and register between those times then we'll meet back at the grand veiw pub at 2pm out in the beer garden. You can park the boats on the street out behind the pub and walk up the hill straight into the beer garden as it worked out good during the tuna social.

Measure the snapper to the fork of the tail and i'll tell you the hand signal for the day when you register. Try to get the best photo you can on a brag mat or bring any legal size snapper back to show the gang.

[neal82]

can't wait for this. how's the swell looking for this? any chance of getting out to your "secret" spot?

[tugger]

Yeah the swell is forecast to drop out on the weekend b ut by how much is yet to be seen it should be doable for the bigger boats over the bar

[Shane69]

You reckon il be fine Mark?

[regulated]

Good luck everyone, weather looks ok at the moment for it. Should keep the weekend warriors away from you all anyway. Looking forward to the reports. I am taking a few mates to another spot and see if we can rustle up something big.

[tugger]

Im keeping an eye on it

[Homer4duff]

Hopefully I'll be there with Dhess (The Dom) ready to brave the bar and the weather :-)

[aussie123]

I had a good look at the charts tonight and to me its not looking the best,especially for smaller boats or inexperienced skippers.

We have a deepening barometric pressure with a swell abating but it's still going to be 1.8 to 2m on Sunday.

My biggest worry though is looking at the charts we are going to have probably a 10-15kn E to ESE all night long on Sat night which is going to push that ground swell directly onto the bar and make it very messy.

Going on the synoptic I doubt we will see a Westerly Sat night to knock the tops of the sea.

[tugger]

Swell has already dropped to 2m now from 2.5m ESE yesterday this is from the waverider bouys which give updates every 15 minutes and i expect it to drop more by sunday i'm thinking of using the northern channel which is alot deeper and with the incoming tide till 7am it should be go. The BOM prediction has the wind E to NE 10 to 15knots but any doubt at all you can opt to stay in the bay
