With the rain type weather looking mint for the weekend and mixed wind forecasts but mostly from the west, I'm pretty excited that I got invited to go to Moreton Island to do some camping this weekend. Camping on the eastern beach. Yew!!

The foot is still a bit rubbish and I probably will have to spend most of the time in a chair sipping on some tasty beverages but I think that will be something I can put up with. 

Report will follow but I hope this will be a great adventure. 

Yay!!!

Rods sorted. I am only taking 2.

A) 12.5 with 2 alveys as options and one 5000 sustain. 

This will give me Taylor slug options, Rock options and beach Jew options high tide bream/dart/whiting/flathead.

B) 6.5m with 2000 spinning real for whiting and bream at low tide shallow gutters. 

Fishing gear is super minimal (for me) 3 gang hooks, whiting hooks, some 6/0s for Jew. 4 medum sinkers and a few small ones and some of those beads that make a little shock absorber between sinker and hook. 

No rain predicted so just taking a swag and a swag of beer.... oh and sneaking in the old stones green ginger wine. I love a snifter of that when its cold. 🙂

One chair, one bowl, one cup, knife fork spoon, stubby holder. 2 shirts 2 shorts 3 undies and a jumper and jacket. 

I think that is it.

I have the best 8ft rod for you to take. I bought it at Bribie Island tacjkle shop near the jetty in 1997 for $30 with a reel and I have caught more fish on that rod then anything else due to it’s whippyness.

Sorry to hear the foot is still not well. At least you have a swag of beer and a chair you ccan sit on beach !!!! What is this ginger wine/ beer??? I have never tried it....... 

I’ll look out for it! 

I would have offered to take you out mate but I deregistered my boat dur to student income.... Kept trailer registered as dopn’t need roadworthy for boat! Maybe after Christmas I will be able to take you out or meet up with you and take my boat out with yours....

Its the perfect thing to have a sip of around a fire. Mind you it is very sweet so I only like a few... Perfect with a beer as well.

I saw that once at the check out in the cheap trolley but stayed clear. Maybe I will have to try it now since so many of you recommend it.... So it is a wine made from Ginger? My grandad used to make home made nectarine and mango wine. You’d poor a glass then fruit flies would come from no where and be on your glass. Could only ever have a few small glasses of it as it was rocket fuel!

I don't know how they make it but it is like a sweet gingery port. Yum
