queensland Lets go Kayak off Bribie

[username_taken]

Was talking to Terry at the end of the Baroon trip, and we mentioned a few places we should take the kayaks out to.

Bribie sounded to me like a good option, if the weather is excellent we can head out into the deep blue, if not so good, then there's all the creeks and rivers in the passage like Ningi.

Who's keen for it ? This weekend is a bit soon for me, gotta build up a few brownie points first, but maybe the weekend after ?

[fishyman]

i could be keen if thats k

[Angus]

I will if I can. As yourself I have to build brownies as well

Angus

[Cando]

Yeah I can see how that conversation goes :-

Look, Honey, I don't really want to go, I'd rather spend time with you doing [insert random inane activity here] but it's official AFO business, what can I do ?

[pcsolutionman]

Ill be there, I have not been out there for a while now, some very good snapper around the marker off woorum and there should be a few pelagics showing now too :). the best place to launch is 8th ave straight off the beach, (username_taken the faithful tempo has done it many a time lol).

If you want to see a few reports have a search for Bribie ocean side in trip reports

Lee

[Terry H]

Yeah that weekend sounds good.

What sort of pelagics should we seeing popping up Lee? I'm up for some of that

[pcsolutionman]

should be in with a chance of any of the mackeral species as well as some tuna.

Lee

[Terry H]

Brian you in? Get some fishing in the yak! :woohoo:

I'm keen to chase pelagics around the bay if need be. Even thinking about taking a heavier rod and dropping an eel bait down for a short while..

[fishyman]

i dont think i have the tackle for this lol.

somehow i dont think my bream gear could handle a pelagic lol

[Terry H]

you can chase some snapper or other fish near the beacon there...

Or you can try and hook up to a pelagic on the light gear... I would

[fishyman]

does sound fun 1-2kg rod + 1000 stradic + massive tuna.

pretty enticing i must say

Yep for all of 10 seconds:woohoo: :silly:

should be fun with the smaller mac's and mac tuna

Noel

[pcsolutionman]

lol, that egar is good fun with the squire/snapper but for palagics you really need 20lb gear +. been done too many times on the lighter gear

Lee

[fishyman]

yeah just joking haha, still.....

yeah um i have a fairly hefty baitcaster setup that maybe would hande em

[Dan23]

I've been spooled on a 6000 reel by something that hit a lure trolling off the Keppels:laugh: I don't think bream gear is recommended.:silly:

[fishyman]

haha well i just went a checked and my dad thinks his massive fish baitcaster thing will handle mackeral and tuna.

[username_taken]

I've got finals on saturday, so will have to do on on sunday. Probably a super early start, would want to be on the water at dawn.

Angus should we add this to the events page ?

[fishyman]

well i now have the tackle for it.

sorry if its a dumb question but how had is it launching from the ocean side of bribie??

Usually a very easy launch less than half a meter, im sure there will be more experienced guys there, so watch how its done. comming back in is usually where people come undone

if its a sunday Ill be there

Lee

[Angus]

Next Sunday?

[Fisher_90]

I find it easier to wait for a break in waves then get out in knee - waist deep water then get off and get in asap.

[Terry H]

Its a sunday Lee. I'll be there:)

Fishyman: Getting out isn't a big problem, although I noticed the waves there are more dumpers. Last time I went out there my cockpit filled up with water (I'm not kidding) after a wave cracked over my bow.

But Fishyman, there will be some guys (myself included) who could help you with the launch and reentry. As long as everything is stored in a hull, or tied down you should be right (even if you roll it)

But as Lee said, geting out is the easy part, it's riding the waves back in which is the time you'll roll it. the problem with reentry is that the waves sometimes tend to turn you sideways, which you have to prevent. If they turn you sideways you will most likely end up in the drink.

[Angus]

I was also thinking of that wreck in the passage for a Kayak fishing mission next Sunday...

But if ocean side is the verdict i would happily give it a crack. Im sure the profish is up for some surfing

Angus

[Angus]

So what about a Bribie AFO yak mission Sunday 17th Feb...

Angus

[Terry H]

A surf side mission with some fish and chips from the local seafood shop afterwards sounds great. Hope to see you there Angus!

[Angus]

Ok sounds good.

Ill be there.

Angus

[Terry H]

I'll be there, 4:30am

[pcsolutionman]

17th it is shouldnt be a problem. bring the lighter gear for the snapper on plastics, and a heavier outfit incase some pelagics show

Lee

[fishyman]

pencil me in for now, my mums having a cry about studying for year 12 lol.

but im 90 percent sure ill be there

[Angus]

Ok guys this sounds good.

I have made this a calendar if you wish to register.

Clawhammer: I hear you were looking for a chance mate

Angus

[pcsolutionman]

I think Keithygeorge was keen on borrowing a yak potentially.

Lee: You reckon as Espri would be up for the surf launch. I guess Jordan took his Ozzie out!!

Angus

[Terry H]

Yeah someone hit up Jordan let him know about this mission

[Angus]

I will Terry. I have his work email.

Angus

[fishyman]

dont suppose anyone would be able to cart me and my outback there would they? i live in Mt Ommaney.

its just my dad said he could probs take me but then unless we magically buy a yak in 2 weeks hes not gonna be able to come out and thus be stuck landbased until i get back and hes not good at being on his feet for a long time.

[pcsolutionman]

yeh mate the espis handle it perfectly, better than the tempos. they surf better and dont have the front well to fill with water during the launch. been out with quite a few espris
