queensland Xmas time missions - what's the plan?

[benno573]

The Mrs and I are heading up to 1770 from 21-24 December, hoping the weather will justify taking the boat along to hit up the reefs, if not will probably take the kayak and head up to middle creek in eurimbula NP or down to wreck rock landbased. Or just go to the pub...

Hoping to base myself up the coast at the old lady's place for a few days between Xmas and new years to head out offshore from mooloolaba and chase some spotties and grassies around the close in reefs. If not may head up to Double Island Pt for a beach or rock fish instead.

Now all I need is for the weather to play along so I can finalise my plans!

Anyone else planning anything fun over the xmas period?

[Do$tylz]

I'm planning to come and crash one of your fishing sessions

nah I'll be hitting the bass in the goldy hinterlands finally. It's been on my to-do list for years.

[tugger]

M and M's over xmas mackerel and marlin fishing

[e-fish-n-sea]

hopefully head off shore from Mooloolaba so if anyone else is heading out and dont mind me following it would be great to hear from you.I would also like to take the family over to Tangalooma wrecks but that depends on the weather

ha ha... mate i'll give you a bell if the sunny coast thing goes ahead, had some awesome sessions in the shallows up there last year, trying to land kingies on light as gear in 30-50ft of water was a bit insane but all good fun!

[Damien2Rad]

Still don't know. My level of employment will dictate my level of fun.

[nook]

ill be doing the same as tugger hopefully chasing some marlin and mac and maybe a few wahoo aswell

[Bluevien]

Checking out what Hervey Bay and its surrounding waterways has to offer before working thru xmas day and NYE.

Hinterland session with Henry...

Cod session at Gundi with Patty...

Hopefully a Noosa session with Carter...

Whatever else I can sink my teeth into!

Do not have much time off but will try and use it as well as possible.

Will be heading over to Moreton Island on the 29th of December for about 6 days. Hopefully this time i'll actually catch something as the last couple of trips over there i've had no luck at all.

Walk the northern beach from where the track to tailor bite comes out east to where the little creek comes out. Flick plastics (4" gulps minnows work well, colour not so important, nuke chook, watermelon pearl, lime tiger, disco prawn are my favs) into every gutter, hole, patch of white water, around any snags you find. Outgoing tide works best. There will be flathead there, my PB off that beach was Sept last year at 86cm, taken in about 1ft of water. Where you find one there will most likely be more so if you get one pepper the area with casts. Will also get the odd bream, tailor, trev and XOS dart hit the plastic, along with plenty of long toms. Good luck, hope the weather is kinder than my trip over there last Xmas!

[s2kmatt]

Yeah got a few long toms at Tailor Bite last new years eve and a decent flatty there on a Squidgie Killer Tomato. Trolled from my kayak up and down the beach from Bulwer a few weekends ago with no success. I've been trying unsuccessfully with a popper a lot, so I guess i'll go back to the plastics.

cheers

Benno

I'm hoping all the fish move south to Yamba, 26th onwards and your out there cursing about long tom's.

:silly:

[benno573]

change of plans - now heading to 1770 tomorrow, leaving home around 3am. weather looks the goods for tomorrow, Friday and maybe Saturday. Now I just need to get through the next hour and a half of work without being too distracted by thoughts of where i'll be 24hrs from now... :woohoo:

[tomartomau]

Christmas day I thought we could head over to Peel, take the tow tube gear, fish and eat. This is all dependent on the weather though.

[spilt milk]

I'm heading down to Yamba for our yearly holiday on the 29th. Up until then I will be doing some work on my new cartopper putting electrics in, and extending the builders rack on the patrol to carry it. I love yamba it's a beautiful place and I get to go fishing everyday!

[Damien2Rad]

Well, I am unemployed - again - as of this Friday. So my plan for Christmas is to go fishing... a lot.

[kreel]

Sounds like a good plan Ben, will you be there till after Christmas?

TBox and I have decided on a different Christmas this year, we're heading west to Glenlyon Dam. We have an air-conditioned cabin and intend trying our luck on the local Murray Cod.

Merry Christmas everyone, we leave in the morning and I can't see us getting reception out there. I hope to have a good report when we get back.

[ellicat]

Good luck and Merry Xmas to you and Liesbeth, Baden. Safe journeys. :kiss: :kiss:
