Were you going to have more than 10 people in one house anyway?

So looking at these restrictions, they  shouldn't affect GregOug going to Frazer or myself going to Agnes Water then. Or have I missed something?

No. Not at the moment. But if there are new cases today they’ll probably restrict travel.

I'm hoping you'll be all good GregOug. I'd doubt they'd stop you going from Fraser, and apparently we've only had 2 new cases today.

Yeah. It’s looking a bit more hopeful. Went and met @Drop Beartoday and borrowed some rods and reels from him for the trip. I tried to borrow his boat too but unfortunately his trailer has a different trailer plug so I couldn’t tow it. He wasn’t home at the time so couldn’t see if he had an adapter.

Swivel, six inches with a sinker, swivel, 1 metre trace to a set of 3 x 4/0 hooks.

Thanks Brian. And the trace? Just the same as your main line, heavier line or wire trace?

[ellicat]

I just use the same as my mainline, usually around the 12-15lb.

[GregOug]

Thanks mate.

[GregOug]

I’m off to Fraser tomorrow. Oh, I’m off to Fraser tomorrow. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Yeh ha!

Woohoo! Sounds great GregOug. Good luck. Hopefully you can smash some for the Suburbs of Origin comp (unlike me. I'm struggling to get my name on the board. Lol)

Thanks mate. I’m confident you can put your name against one of the species. And if it’s getting towards the end of the comp and we still have nothing I still owe you and Kat a trip. If we go out and fish away from my marks we should get something!

Are you heading up with family or a boys trip ?

Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll find time to relax and take in some island life.

Have a good one.

Have a great trip, remember no photo's and it didn't happen.

Cheers

Thanks Brian. Taking my two boys, one of their mates and two of my mates. Looking forward to it.

Thanks ED, but I’ve already caught a metre tailor and a two metre Jew. And I haven’t even got to the island yet. Didn’t you see the photos?

Nah missed those, sorry must have been asleep, no, wait that was you!

[Drop Bear]

Good luck mate. I hope to see some photos on the leader board soon.

It was a friends and family trip @ellicat. Six of us in total.

oh dear. Did you have a great trip? The weather looked pretty good.

Just noticed this. Sorry I haven’t responded earlier. I’m sure I posted my trip results but it must have been on another thread. Anyway, the trip was great. The fishing less so. Beautiful weather. Beautiful place. I really should get up there more often. There was too much weed for the fishing to be successful. Spending five minutes pulling weed off your line and bait after every cast soon gets tiring, so we did more sightseeing and drinking than fishing.

Doesn't sound too bad. 

I do wonder if most trips are just an excuse to go up and do lots and lots of day drinking
