queensland AFO Wanderers social at Horseshoe Bay Peel island July 20-22

[tugger]

Camping and fishing at Horseshoe bay on Peel island everyone is welcome to come along with a camp set up on the beach there are plenty of fishing options around the bay and offshore. The camp fire at night will attrack the crew together for plenty of fishing stories of the ones that got away and landed. There should be some deckie spots as it gets closer and these socials are very popular with a good chance to meet some new fishos from the site. Hope to see plenty of you there

tugger, hate to throw a spanner in the works, it looks like open fires are prohibited, and you need to pay and get a permit to camp there.

If things work out the way we are hoping, you should be able to count on the yanks showing up to ruin your weekend (as long as somebody is willing to give us a lift to the island).

[aussie123]

Peel should be a ripper weekend for a change of scenery.

Count me in again.

Thanks Mark

[tugger]

We'll actually have to pay for once its not expensive so shouldn't be a problem and i'll look into the fire with a drum etc

ring them and see if you can have the drum, if you need one I got a 44 gal here I use for fires all the time I can bring along mate camping fees $5:30 per night

[crazywalrus]

will be a good weekend. The camping fees are really small for horseshoe bay.

[PlasticFantastic]

Count me in for this one too wouldn't mind camping on Peel as i've only set foot on it once. Might be looking for a deckie spot for this one if not it's not a hard paddle over in the yak.

Cheers

Mark

Looks like you can have fires it says you must bring your own wood and have them in the allocated fire places

[Malcolm]

Sounds good I;ll be very keen

[haines490slc]

thank god for that otherwise our nuts would freeze off, my birthday is the 23rd, so can be a birthday party for me too. I will probably bring the missus. I will bring some wood.

[Snaggers]

Im really keen for this, Im happy to take a couple of deckies too. If the young bloke comes along I can squeeze atleast two extras on board. I will post available spots as we get closer.

[davopac]

[neal82]

Yup I will bring my spit roast, and I am sure if Mick isn't coming he will lend me mine too, happy to put on a load of chooks again and some big pumpkins.

whats it like there for the tides might have to keep moving the boats,or put them out deep and use a tinnie to ferry back and forth?

[haines490slc]

The old pully system anchor should work. http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/oceanography/tides/tide_predications.cgi

[tugger]

The beach in horseshoe bay does go out a long way with a very slow slant to the beach and our pully sytems will not work there so that is what i was going to do with the bigger boats is to anchor them out for the night past the drop off and come in by a small tinnie as it will be low tide in the mornings. So if someone is generous enough to bring a small boat for this i can offer a deckie spot in the morning offshore

[mottly crew]

ill make this one i missed the last one so i will be there let me now if we need more wood i live next to the bush but dont have a chiansaw :pinch:

[haines490slc]

mate don't take wood from the bush, animals usually live in it, I got heaps from some trees I felled last year and Jeremy usually brings some too.

[haines490slc]

I can probably get my hands on a blow up tender with small honda outboard. I will check with my mate and see if I can borrow it, it is good for 4 people.

[davopac]

got the 12 foot with the 3.5 hp u can use .2 to 3 people can carry it easy .even if i don't make it u guys can use it .

i was going to go dilligaf and fish around peel /stradbroke .i can bring the tinny down and some one tows it across .to travel to peel and tow would just be bad in my tub .

[tugger]

That sounds good fellas thats what we need

[Baptism]

aw darn, right smack in the middle of my exams

[davopac]

thank god for that otherwise our nuts would freeze off, my birthday is the 23rd, so can be a birthday party for me too. I will probably bring the missus. I will bring some wood.

mine is the 9th a bit before ,39 so just another one nothing big .peel and the sand hills are my old stomping grounds ,where i grew up as a kid to teens camping and fishing .the tide goes out at peel just like at the sand hills a long way .think last time i was at peel was early 2000's, us and the kids went over with the olds for a week.

[kmcrosby78]

Haha - I only just read your signature Davo. So there's only one Davo and not two!!! Looking forward to catching up with you at Peel. Kelvin.

[mottly crew]

mate don't take wood from the bush, animals usually live in it, I got heaps from some trees I felled last year and Jeremy usually brings some too.

mate no animals where i was going to get the wood from as it has been cleared for the development of houses the trees have been down for a fare while and the bull dozers have just moved in to finish the job. but i dont want to upset anybody so i wont just thought i would make the offer

[straddiebrad]

well looks like the tide thing is sorted,i also have a small tinnie with a 20 on the back so if i go someone can use this aswell.brad

[haines490slc]

no worries motley, don't put yourself out, I got some really good hardwood that has been curing for two years that I can bring, burns for ages.

[Damien2Rad]

Keen. Same week as my 27th Birthday.

[tugger]

I'll bring a table, gas bottle, latern, bbq, firewood, folding chair and plenty of beer now have i forgoten anything

[haines490slc]

Tugger, I will bring some wood from my private collection, been curing for 4 years. I will also bring the rotisseri, do we need a 44 gal for the fire? if we have a fire in a 44gal, at least no one would be able to see it

[tugger]

The dancing girls :woohoo:

[Malcolm]

we could set up around the corner behind the wrecks it's well protected and you could get the boats in close

[tugger]

I am going to have a close look and scout around on the beach when i go past after a days fishing next
