Another Fishing Charter - Am I jumping the gun?

[bootyinblue]

I dont think I have to worry as I never catch anything big enough. But if I did then I would just drive the rod butt into my b@lls and pump and wind. And when other blokes look and wince I will just quote Chopper Reid and yell 'Harden the F^%K up'

But enough of that, its a family site!

[ellicat]

Thought it was the Ronnie Johns hour for a sec:P

\"Honey:kiss: , I need this for the boat, Honey:kiss: :kiss: I need that for the boat\".

[ellicat]

Gonefishin, Welcome to the site.

Thought I'd point out that this charter is full at this stage.

Might save you wasting Brownie Points asking this time;)

Hey Booty, any feedback from the charter boys yet about gimbal belts?

If I can get away without buying two (one each for Kath and I), I'll have a bit more money to spend on more important stuff...like other fishing gear and sea-sickness prevention tablets!

Thanks mate.

Rocket

[Feral]

Rocket, try the sea sick tablets before you go, they made me crook last trip. Felt like the worst hang over I'd ever had! I'd much have rather been sea sick!

[faulked]

look up mythbusters on seasickness mmm interesting and also with prior warning i have a spare gimball or 2 rocket etc i even have a full harness for 30kg standup if anyone is keen i dont like it in boats i feel like im going swimming

for seasickness i have tried tablets and wristbands they don,t work for me, the only thing that does is putting a earplug or cotton wool in one ear

[shortie]

Just 3 weeks to go.

Bring on the big uns.

We should all throw in $5 for the biggest fish of the day.

[Rocket75]

As if we are not competitive enough already!:silly:

I don't care if I catch the biggest, as long as it's BIG :woohoo:

[bootyinblue]

Guys, Not long to go now.... and you know what that means. Its money time!!

With the delays with some of the banks I think if all money could be transferred by say the 9th November and that will give it a couple of days to clear and a cheques to be drawn for the balance.

Here is a list of the starters and the balance owing

GAZZA - $60 +$65 = $0

ROUGHHOPE - $0

TREVOR J - $0

ROOSCOE - $125 + $125 = $0

MOJO - $0

CHUBBSTER - $0

ALSHILUX - $75

CLIFFORD - $0

TIM BROWN - $75

SHORTIE - $0

PCMAN - $0

ROCKET - $0

KATH - $0

BRIAN D - $0

FAULKED - $0

BOOTY - $0

JEFF F - $75 + $75 = $0

BUD - $125 (Sent you a PM)

PEPE 66 - $75 + $75 = $0

FISH KID 101 - $75 + $75 = $0

ELLICAT - $0

GRAHAM P - $75 + $75 = $0

Let me know if I have made a mistake at all, I am on night shift so brain is not real swish and the site will not allow me to cut and paste for some strange reason so had to retype it in secitons.

[Gazza]

Mine should read 0$ now lol

are we having a BBQ after the charter ? like last time

Gaz

[shortie]

im keen for a bbq afterwards.

Even better a counter meal at a pub.

Then there is no clean up or hassles.

[ellicat]

Sounds like a plan shortie.

Chubbstar, If you're offer for a lift is still open, Roughhope (Geoff) and myself will take it. Thanks - you're a champion.

I'll be at Chermside that morning and Geoff will be at Sandgate, so if there's a problem picking us up let me know.

Just kidding, we're both close by as you know. Will sort the logistics later.

Cheers

[Fisher_90]

Hahahaha lol ellicat

[chubbstar]

[gonefishin]

I might grab a spot Chubs, I drive down there every work day so being a passanger would be great. Can I let you know a bit closer to the day please.

[ellicat]

You're not thinking of accosting me in the car are you Brian ?

[Rocket75]

as long as I don't have to watch....what goes on tour, stays on tour!:silly:

[bootyinblue]

I think I will stay right away from that car then, but thanks for the offer Chubbs.

I am staying at Tamborine Mtn the night before and will just coast down the hill in the morning.

Got a reply back from Dennis at Outthere Charters and YES they do have gimbal belts onboard and also have Shimano 80w reels (whatever they are??) for anyone that wants to try and hold onto a whale!

[Rocket75]

Good news about the belts.

We are also staying close to the coast the night before, thanks mum and dad

I haven't seen one of those Shimano 80's, but if they are that much bigger than the 30's, they must be huge!

Rocket

[pepe66]

This is what the 80WA is all about - sounds impressive lets hope they are well maintained

The Shimano Hydrothermal Drag System rewrites the rule on heat as it automatically compensates to keep the original drag setting intact. What's more, the Tiagra's pre-lubericated graphite drag washer operation is impervious to saltwater and always starts smoothly. Tiagra's frame is cut from an aluminium tube to a thickness of 7mm. It boasts 4 shielded stainless steel ball bearings, heavy duty stainless steel gears and a 2 speed shifting system where the pinion and drive gears are continuously engaged.

GEAR RATIO'S: Low 1.3 to 1 High 2.5 to 1

LINE CAPACITY; 800m / 37kg

WEIGHT; 3230grams

[faulked]

any seats left in that van chubbs if there are i might grab one if thats ok

[Angus]

This is now an event you can register for.

As Booty pointed out, might be easier to organise car pooling this way.

Angus

[bootyinblue]

A big thankyou to Angus for posting it up in the events section.

COMMUNITY > ATTEND AN EVENT > OUTTHERE CHARTERS

As Ellicat pointed out can you start your post on there with your username as it shows you registered name when you posted.

Secretly I think he just wants to stalk us all:silly:

[ellicat]

Don't get jealous now, you'll always be my first:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[bootyinblue]

Ahhhhhhh now you are starting to spook me!

I am glad we have already decided to fish from opposite sides of the boat

[ellicat]

Angus said he wished he was going. Hmmm...I think the last one was rigged so a site owner pulled the biggest fish...this one will be fairer without him.

Just kidding.

[Angus]

I would not have been able to do it again anyway Elli. It costs a lot to get someone under the boat hooking a fish on

Angus

[ellicat]

I suspect it was Jordan :whistle:

[Gazza]

Did i miss a bit where we know what rods and reels they supply :pinch:

Gaz

[ellicat]

I can't recall either Gaz. Maybe bootyinblue will be able to re-enlighten us upon his return from dance classes.

[faulked]

i see in my crystal ballz zat zey have tese reels zey call alveys

regards madame zeldar

[MichaelJ]

80's are a lot bigger than 30's and if you think 80's are big wait till you see a 130 it weighs 5kg without any line on and holds 1km of 60kg line and weighs bout 7kg with line on

[Gazza]

PMSL @ elli

I Hope not

I for one don't want to see him in a skirt dancing around :silly: :silly:

Gaz

wonder if he wears his skirt on the charter to try and win shemale biggist fish lol :silly:
