Christmas Get Together

[Old Scaley]

Probably not the 5th for me.

[benno573]

Unlikely to be able to make the 5th sorry bwian.

Hi Brian

Sorry for the late reply. Exams are done now!

I should be free every day except for the 28th. So the 5th works for me, if that's what everyone wants.

@Cavvy should be along too. 

I think I might get there early and fish for whiting and flatheads, or I might end up getting the train there with my bike. 

Cheers Hamish 

[Drop Bear]

yes ok for 5th. 

[Dinodadog]

Should be able to drop in for a soft drink on the 5th Is it BYO

High tide is about 10am on the day. I'll get there about then and setup (hopefully under a hut) and let everyone know where we'll be for the day, in this thread.

Fire away with any questions -

[Kat]

Should I bring some homemade baking?

Been craving chocolate caramel slice since I stopped myself buying one at a cafe the other day - so for those of you who don't like chocolate or caramel (you would have to be insane) - then sorry no sweeties for you

So is anybody going to be fishing there as well or is it just a social "barby" and get together?

I'll just be doing the social thing but I'm guessing Hamish and Kat and co will have a fish at some stage. High tide is about 10am if you're keen, otherwise I'm thinking we'll kick off about 11.30/12. (I'll be there at 10 if anyone wants to come early.)

I am definitely fishing!  Otherwise wouldn't be worth going lol!

[Ed.]

Don't know if there will be any fish with the amount of almost non stop rainfall we have had lately, where I am, we have had just under 350mm.

Just in case anyone missed it, it is still raining !

[Angry51]

Send some up here.

We've had about 35mm.

[ellicat]

All is ready for tomorrow.

Just need some volunteers to help me bring the stuff from my car to the shelter.

See everyone there.

 

PS   I'll post which shelter on here when I get there in the morning.

Yes, mate. Does that mean Cavvy won't be there ?

[Ed.]

What is the exact address for the get together, as I don't know that area very well.

Cheers

Nope, he will still be coming  

change of plans.

[kmcrosby78]

Have fun tomorrow all. We're heading in the other direction to the in-laws at Redland Bay for a belated cousin's birthday catch-up. 

[Dinodadog]

Sorry Brian may not make it, to much sun yesterday and visitors arriving at some time this morning, still trying.

Dino

[ellicat]

Bummer.

I'll keep the fingers crossed.

[ellicat]

We're at the shelter at the end of the main carpark (that is quite full). 

[ellicat]

Travel north along the path.

[Kat]

Thanks Brian and everyone who showed.  Great day despite the fishing!  

Look forward to some more salt flowing in the next few weeks.

Cheers Kat

 

[ellicat]

Thanks Kat and everyone. It was a good social with some good conversation. Nice to meet some new faces, even including Audrey who is a very part time fisher. Haha

[Ed.]

Thanks Brian for organizing it, a nice morning out.

Cheers

Ed.

[Angry51]

Took me all morning to find the place.

Has everyone gone home, can't find anything going on.

[ellicat]

We left a sausage for you. A crow must've got it.

[Angry51]

No, sorry, found out I'm still at the Mingela pub.

Just goes to show you can't trust those voices in your head.

[Drop Bear]

Bugger sorry I missed it. We are having a few dramas at home at the moment... ( i need a holiday... )

Merry Christmas everyone. 

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Thanks everyone. It was a good chat!
