I reckon they would, give it a try. I reckon they would last long enough in the salt water as well, tough buggers!

[CrayfishMates]

Ian, you headin out Sunday morning?

webbfunk wanted to get some experience on a boat so he may be coming along with me, might let him Skipper.

Dont know where roody maar ir the kalinga hole is but I will be in for an early launch before the wind picks up for sure. Be a good trip, if blue brings a bbq thing I will bring a few snags lol.

Got a fair few bags of barramundi pellet feed here that is out of date for use in my tanks and makes for good (expensive) burley. I can bring a few for the crew if they want.

[rumrunner]

yeah mate sunday morning it is

rudy maars is just down a bit from cabbage tree boat ramp on cabbage tree point road at cabbage tree point:P :laugh: next to horizon shores marina! it costs $10 to use the ramp and car park but it is worth it i think for bigger boats like ours;)

i will be keen to try your super bearly aswell!

see you there mate!

Ian

[rumrunner]

i will also be bringing my own bbq gear and having a feed at some stage on straddie !

lett me know at some stage where you are stopping and we can make it a hum dinger?:woohoo: i usualy use the bay at the far tip of south straddie or the bedrooms if that helps at all?

cheers Ian

Yeah mate no problems. Let me know how you want to hook up. I will be heading out down the logan to the M1 and more than likely launch from jacobs.

Can you use a cast net lol I cant. Have one but be buggered if I have ever figured it out lol

[webbfunk]

Am getting better at the cast net....Nugget has a good 'how to on his website I've been learning from.

[CrayfishMates]

Where abouts on the site mate?

[webbfunk]

Don't like to promote another site on AFO....but check these out.

/>http://www.ausfish.com.au/castnet/

[Feral]

Its not on his website any more, but it is still on ausfish.

[CrayfishMates]

Cool just downloaded it.

[rumrunner]

i can show you guys two diff ways to use a cast net!

im only a beginner myself but i can usualy get it to spread ok!

i will have mine with me and will be netting at the ramp in the morning and during the day if my supplys get low!

i will also have my mobile 0409271036 but no vhf!

Ian

[CrayfishMates]

Sounds good Ian I will meet you down at that boat ramp you are heading to. Mob 0423 824 540 If ya ring and get the message bank thing, I dont say you can leave a message but you can after the tone lol there is good reason for that lol you will see if you ring it.

Going to head down to the creek tomorrow to have more of a crack at the cast netting thing. With any luck I may be stocked up.

[Rocket75]

Brian, sound decision making there... the fish will be there next time!

Rocket

[CrayfishMates]

So who is going and where and when?

I got

Rumrunner

Webbfunk is with me

Boots you comin?

[shortie]

After hearing all reports today about the flooding.

Apparently there is lotsa debri in the water from Jacobs well because of the logan flooding.

Im having secend thoughts now. Will have to keep checking the weather and make a final decision later.

[rumrunner]

im still going! but i will be at the ramp at 6am instead of 4 now!

my mates all piked out on me so its me and the misses and my boy tomorrow! hence the later start!

dont worrie about the debris shortie! i think it should be ok were we are going? if not i know a few other spots round there! so give old mate kevinchen a call and letts do it?

other than a late shower or storm the weather looks great!

ive got a mate out testing the area tonite for us and he will report in the morn when i meet with him to grab his bbq!

see you in the morning guys!

Ian.

[bootyinblue]

I have to agree with Shortie there. I spoke to the local copper who did a quick river and ramp reconaisance mission for me and I am out.

His words 'you might as well cast into your mug of hot chocolate, cause its the same colour'

Shame as would have enjoyed a fish tomorrow, but will organise another time in near future.

Good luck to guys still going.

[rumrunner]

cheers for that booty!

i will post a full report on how we did either tomorrow or monday!

all the more fish for me!:woohoo:

Ian

[bootyinblue]

You could always drop a few fillets in the letterbox on the way back home!

Goodluck with it and will organise another one when weather has cleared a bit, and I am camping over there so I dont have to get up so early....LOL

[rumrunner]

if there is anyone else who would like to meet up with us you are more then welcome!

if ya dont mind getting your boat dirty:P :laugh:

the water should be fine at the bar and if anything there will be a channel of dirty water running through on the run out! i usualy fish the outskirts or the dirty runnoff from swan bay anyway so the dirty water suits me well!:woohoo:

Ian

[shortie]

Thanks for the info Booty. It a definate no from me as well then, doesnt sound like much fun.

Only takes 1 log to stuff a $400 prop and ruin a day.

Maybe next weekend it will have cleared out.

Richard.

[rumrunner]

More for you? You must be fishing a long way from me mate lmao.

I have a bucket of burly on board for you Ian. If they cant see the bait they will certainly taste it.

[CrayfishMates]

Have to catch up with boots and shortie on the next trip. Camera charged for photo evidence. I doubt lures will be doing much.

[Master Sardines]

hi guys, well I went for a run to the pin and fished the mud clump today. The water was clean with no problems. The boy was happy with his catch. [img size=384]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/LIZZY62.JPG

[CrayfishMates]

OH the cam huh. That should be interesting. You may have to stay on the Bulldog so you can film mate, no time for you to be fishing lolol. I should have half the catch by 0600 Ian lol Thought about just heading out tonight and have a camp on the boat but I am not sure Jordan would be up for it.

Bloody nice lizard Sardines! Thats will get boots droolin.

[Master Sardines]

Have to catch fish or he gets the poops with me:angry: ..lol

Forgot to mention there was a lot of mozzies in close:S . Don't forget the aerogard.

[Bommie]

good fish your lad got there:)

[webbfunk]

You'd be suprised Paul...

We'll have a few racked up by the time we meet up with Ian.

I'm going to bring my luere tackle box as well, depending the on the visibility as to weather I try them. If you haven't tried prawnstars before I've got a few....they are great
