Tonight we get the first of the women's, 3 x SOO Games
good luck to all for the magic round, but bear in mind, magic is fickle, and for some it could be poo round...Oh come on @Gad, that's really unfair ...... at least let the poor bugger enjoy Friday and Saturday's games before waking up and dreading another loss, this time to the Dolphins ....... . Besides, they're having a good season so far, there's TWO teams below them ...... .
On a more serious note, two cracking games (I listened to Dogs v Raiders) to start Magic Round. Go Broncos!!

@benno573 and I came upon a huge, thick school of herring at the Pin one day. We made the mistake of throwing the castnet. We got about 200 in one cast. 7 out of 8 of them were stuck in the net. It took us a good hour to get them all out. Never again. haha
The old Xmas tree ......

That's an impressive growth rate!! I'm yet to catch one - maybe next weekend .......

When you said the island is closed for pest eradication I immediately thought they might be getting rid of grinners, in which case they could have waited for you to take care of that for them. I can’t talk, though. All my recent fishing trips have been dominated by grinners and sharks! Enjoy the planning!
Cheeky bugger!! Yes sounds like there’s plenty of both in the bay ATM. Yes planning on taking the boys. Going to have to buy some spear fishing gear .

Looks amazing. A great adventure. How do they get your boat on and off the ferry or do they just tow it under a bridle?
Be an awesome 4 or 5 days I bet - but how the heck do you camp with eskies and ice these days - I am so stuck on 12v and a fridge its not funny.
Haven't worked any details out yet - first job is for one of us to call the ferry company and get an idea of cost and ferry timetable so we can work out how long we should stay. I'd guess 7-10 days to make it worthwhile, both from a cost (I don't think the ferry will be 'cheap') and effort perspective. That will also determine our plan as far as keeping things cold/frozen - I think it will be a combination of eskies, probably with dry ice (none of us have used it before) and 12v fridges, batteries and solar.
They load the boats and trailers onto the ferry using a forklift - looks like they can fit about 5 boats from the videos I've seen, possibly more. Then when you arrive they lower the ramp, secure the towball of the trailer to some sort of hook point and you launch your boat from the ramp (ie. off the trailer). The've got large storage 'boxes' (from the videos, I'd guess maybe 2m high, 2-3m long and 1m deep, something like that) that you can load other gear into for travel on the ferry, plus you can have some stuff in your boat. On top of that they have drums of fuel and water and I think can provide ice - there seems to be large 'fridge trolleys' that you can use on the island to pull them up above the shoreline.
Lots of logistics to work out - I think once we do one we'll do it a few times. One of my brothers noticed the island is closed this June for a while (til Sep from memory) for pest eradication - seems there's alot of mice on the island so hopefully they get rid of plenty ..... .

Have a great trip mate, would love to get there one day. I was meant to go there on a school biology trip/camp in 1995 but we missed out after some high school students from Brisbane killed a heap of mutton birds earlier that year so I feel I have unfinished business there ........
Aaaannnndddd my brothers and I have decided to look into going next June/July or Sept/Oct holidays . 30 years later I'm hopefully going to get there .

Can you believe it, the weather is mint offshore, it is the weekend, the almanac is good, and I have decided to give it a miss? I could not justify going out and catching more fish when I already have a full freezer. I must be sick or something.
Stop showing off you privileged bugger …

The boys and I tried for squid at Green too on Wed morning for no luck (despite Spero making it look easy the day before … ). Had wind against tide so we’ll use that excuse …. .
Shame about the overall lack of success Hamish but always good to fish somewhere different. Taking a rod to Victoria?

Manly's first try was a forward pass. Good close game though and good confidence builder for the Broncos to win when down a few of their top players.
