Hey gents, has an actuall long sleeved fishing shirt ever been done???
I love the collared shirt from last year, but would a proper long sleeve fishing shirt be a possiblity or maybe both? Get our boat/team name embroided into them? 8-)

Just and idea

Josh

I did one a couple of years back, it was just a long sleeve T shirt though but I wear it a lot when fishing

will have a look to see if I can get hold of the fishing style long sleeve shirt to get embroidered, sizes will be my big restriction though I would think????

cheers murf

Murph,

If it has a pocket I'll buy two, because I can use the room for the phone and the glasses.

Please, return to the material used in the 2009 shirt. If it's that acrylic rubbish I won't be buying one at all, because I just don't wear it.

I don't give a shit what colour it is, except to say that I think both Maroon and blue make you look like a twat. Black's a good colour.

Or Red, with a bit of blue and gold! ;D;D;D;D

Cheers,

Tim

Looking in Mirrors again hay Two ???????

Rob T8-)

[rob tranter]

And a damn good idea too. I always fish with long sleeves. Sure, I roll them up, but if I run out of sunscreen I have an option!

Cheers,

Tim

Murrf got us long sleeve 30+ sun protection the other year.

Rob T, don't care if they snore, so do I8-)

[Mr__Bean]

Hi guys,

We are hopeful again this year but not yet able to confirm, year 12 exams for Alan at that time so it all hinges on his exam dates.

Hopefully the exams will be over and he can relax, well maybe not relax too much given the gruelling pace up there if the weather is good .

Ahhhhh, those nights pulling big fish under the Musgrave moon.

And oooooooh those hair raising approaches to the narrow unlit entrance to the lagoon in bad weather after having stayed out longer than one should have.

Hmmm, note to self - remember to RainX the windscreen this year.

- Darren

[Mr__Bean]

Oh and for the record, the shirts aren't for fishing in.

They are for wearing to the Agnes Pub for dinner.

[Boat Hog]

Hi all, count me in - if you'll have me:)

Have been going to 1770 in September for the past few years. Feel like I already know a few of you regulars after hearing the same call signs every year.
Always know when the Ausfish crews are in town ... the radio chatter goes ballistic.

The Good Lady and I were at 1770, Sept last year staying in a house next to Marty and Tim. Couldn't miss us ... Haines Hunter with the name GAMEBOY, nearly 2ft high full length down the sides (name came with the boat:-? has since been changed).

Look forward to meeting you all,

[Boat Hog]

You know folks there's two main reasons my wife and I wanted to join Ausfish and meet up at the the Agnes Water/1770 M & G ......

The first is that we met Marty (Capt Seaweed) and Tim (burlegu) and they were such genuinely nice (fishing mad) guys that we thought that if the rest of you are half as decent chaps then it would be great to meet you.

The second reason is that since we were already going to be there at the same time .... it would be good to get a heads up on when a certain Stejcraft was going to be at the boat ramp so we could avoid being there at the same time and save ourselves a half hour wait!!;D

Jim

Hang On I could resemble that remark:o

I have the only Steji that I know of that turns up, and last year was a first, because I just signed on the dotted line for it, "SO", are you having a go at "ME":'(
I hope so, then I can give it back

Did I meet you and the bride last year, I'm sure you would remember me, but I don't remember you;D I hope if we did meet, that I didn't insult the Lady, bad habit of mine:-?

Mate this year will be (as usual) BLOODY BRILLIANT;)

Rob The Forever Blue T8-)

I had heard it was brand spanking, unfortunately I got caught waiting for you to load your precious back onto it's trailer the first time you got back to the ramp up there. Hopefully ..... they'll have the two lanes working this year;)

He outfished you in a big way too! Actually, who caught the big trout? Was it you? No:'(. Was it me? YES;D Who caught the only red? You? No. Me? Yes! Must be tough to have what is left of your limited memory fading as you get as old as you. Can't remember seeing you bag out on Spanish that size in 2hrs! Real fish? Hmm, what? A marlin? Had one of them on Mark's boat. On a beat up old Penn senator on a beat up old rod on a beat up old halco laser pro. How many marlin have you had aboard? :'( Despite the boat, the swillions of lures you drag behind and the fuel burnt doing so??????;D

Bloody hell! Sure is quiet here without the Big Fella around!::)

Lucky Phill .... what's the count on how many attendees?? Definate? Maybe? Wanna be?

Rob T .... have you gotten that Steji off the trailer yet at the Whitsundays?? Where's the fishing report and photo's of all the fish?

Murf .... you back on dry land yet after your camping trip to Minnie Water?? Did you get the Yellow Nova in the water??

[Lucky_Phill]

Murf .... you back on dry land yet after your camping trip to Minnie Water?? Did you get the Yellow Nova in the water??

a few wet days with 5 top days in the middle :)

trailer is now hot dipped gal and awaiting bolting together, it was very hard sitting looking at the ocean all day for ten days and having no boat

cheers Murf

[Boat Hog]

, it was very hard sitting looking at the ocean all day for ten days and having no boat


Crikey Murf, very hard is probably an understatement.

Well, now at least when you get to those Pearly Gates (and may that be a long long way off) you can say "Pergatory ... Nahh, I've already been there mate, now let me in!"

[rob tranter]

Yeh have launched @ Airlie, and I'm back, can't put a report up here it will get moved or deleted by the polece so check out off shore reports.
Going there now to type it up.

[Lucky_Phill]

only to Airlie..... huh !

I just completed 4,612k's in 9 days. Mind you I also did about 90 hours work as well, in two different towns.

Now.... back to 1770.


I can feel an early trip coming on......

I'm open to invites, and yes I will drag the Steji along;D oh by the way, I paid to travel, I didn't GET paid to travel:P

[Lucky_Phill]

OK people:-

Important News. well.... not really, just a heads up. :P


Let's start to address some issues now rather than later.

WHEEL BEARINGS IN TRAILER......... check them Now

So, got your attention ?

Please do a trailer check:-

wheel bearings, jockey wheel, trailer hitch, lighting and rego, rollers etc.

Boat check:-

lighting, steering ( if cable ), is the motor in good working order ?
electronics including batteries ( if they are 4 years old, turf them...!! ), EPIRB, Flares ( check use by dates ), Lifejackets, other safety equipment including first aid kit. Spare bung !!!!;) Check anchor ropes and anchors, D shackles etc. Gaff, landing net, tackle and tools. Rego and capacity stickers. VHF radio ?

Have you got a chart ? Do you have GPS marks ?

Tackle:-

Are your reels serviced and in good working order ? Are all guides on your rods in a good order ? is your tackle box complete ?


If you require hooks................ pm vertico ( sean )

If you require PE Tackle flys.. pm vertico ( sean )


NOW, is the time to make arrangements for bait... at the start of June ( maybe earlier ) the Mullet will start their run. Now is the time to make contact with your bait supplier and sort this commodity. Waiting until August / Sept will leave you disappointed and moreso, out of pocket.

Most fresh seafood suppliers can access mullet for you. They can purchase it at market, phone you and pick up same day. Me, I have some, but will still be ordering 30kgs. I get mine filleted and scaled, but that is dearer than whole, and my preference.

Sinkers......... if you are running short, best to have a " sinker making day " with some other M & G attendees. They are too costly to buy. I have all moulds and enough lead, but I also have enough sinkers, so the ball ( number 10/0 ) is in your court. ;D


First timers:- ( IMO...... suggestion only )

Hooks...................... 6-7/0 and up to 10/0 ( strong stuff, not eagle claw etc )
Line........................ mono.. min 55lb
............................. Braid... min 50lb
leader................... mono... 60lb minimum

Paternoster rigs work well in most situations. Hence snapper leads required. Current will determine size.

Pair of H/duty scissors ( chefs scissors ) to clip fins

Reels.... I have seen what Reds do to Baitrunners and other expensive eggbeaters...:o :-? :( I would avoid them, but to each their own.

Rods.... fast taper 10kg plus outfits in the 6 - 7 ft range. personal choice.

certainly bring spin outfits for mack tuna etc.

Esky.................... BIG................ ;D ;D

spare fuel if you do not have sufficient underfloor. Average overnight trip will travel 220k's or more. Allow for rough weather and heavy eskies.8-)

Please be aware of Green Zones outside and speed limits in the creek.

IF you have a Plotter, track yourself out from the ramp to outside the bar and " save " that track. The beacons are NOT lite at night.

The road from south into Agnes from Bundaberg is still rough for larger boats, IMO. I will travel via Miriam Vale ( only and extra 16k's ) but far better roads.

IS YOUR ACCOMMODATION BOOKED, SORTED ETC ????


just checking..... :P

ONE QUESTION
What is HAYWIRE TWISTS?:-?

Rob T8-)

[murf]

another question

whats the crimping pliers for?

cheers Murf

[Lucky_Phill]

Rob.... Haywire twist is method of attaching wire to hook / swivel etc.

If you care to look at the top of these forum pages you will find an icon that says " Hints & Tips ". Click on that, then knots and then Haywire Twist. I do a double loop on less than 40lb wire ( through the eye ) and then 4 - 5 turns ( 45 degrees ) then 4 - 5 90 degree turns to finish it off.

http://www.ausfish.com.au/knots/haywiretwist.shtml



murf..... not crimping pliers,( light blue handles ? ) just side cutters...h/duty.

LP

then whats the side cutters for :P

ok its a loaded question, are your fingers too soft to hold the hook whilst twisting the wire? or do you cut the tag of the Haywire instead of snapping the wire off clean?

a test for your rigs, put the treble in a vice and pull the other hook with scales or pliers, I don't believe you are putting enough twist on them Haywires. I would hate for a 35kg Spanish or Hoo to unwind your trace on ya

cheers Murf

[Lucky_Phill]

if you look closely, the loops in the haywire are doubled. Never had one let go yet and I have hooked some submarines :) :)


http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm246/Lucky_Phill/double-haywire.jpg


the pointy " crimping " pliers are to hold the twist while I twist.. = soft fingers :P

Yup, everyone is welcome, just watch out for the queer folk like Phill who will be noticable with fluro pink drinks, and guys like black_rat who will be licking raw fish and drinking the local pub dry of rum. There is a couple of other strange fellows up there too, like tranter and aigutso.

And, dont drive up the driveway of sunlover at the cookoff, otherwise you car will get showered with shit from above... Speaking of, Damo I am going to massage the rum can dent out of my bonnet with your head when I see you next;D;D;D

I resemble that remark?:P

Which Damo?

Bad luck you not going to turn up softuscockus, I was looking at giving you a bit of sh!t this year;D

Rob T8-)

[NEWBY]

Well I can answer most questions with one word. NO.
No I havent been fishing.
No I havent tuned the Berty up. In fact I havent seen the Berty or even the Marina since 3rd January.
If its called a "purple patch" when you have a good run, what is a bad run's colour? Have to be brown I reckon. The colour of shite.....
Newby's Brown run....
Fixed ops manager (parts and service overseer and service manager) leaves, Parts manager resigns, new parts manager blows himself up with petrol 3 days later. 2nd degree burns to 40% of his body. Mainly the whole front. (Some of you know Big Trev as he worked for me for 6 years. Big fella and always ready to help anyone at anytime...) so the incoming service manager goes to look after parts while trev has an extended holiday in Brissy Royal Burns Unit. 4 weeks later after 4 operations and extensive physio, he gets out of bed to take a dump and at the ripe old age of 32, collapses and dies right there in the $h!tter. A blood clot in his leg moved to his lung. Forgetting the huge hole that left at work, it also devastated our family. So then the incoming service manager has a fruity and doesnt show for the 4 days after easter including the Friday of Big Trevs Funeral. He had also been sending his resume out from 3 days after he arrived. 9 jobs in total he applied for. Fancy doing it on a computer that I can get my hands on.....Silly boy....Apparently, someone else also sent letters out on his behalf to all the same companies telling them them he had heard they were a bunch of "ladies we things" to work for and to disregard his application... ;D ;D ;D F*** HIM...
So presently I do not have a service manager, a parts manager or any f****** hope of getting near the Bertram. But I have reduced my hours from 125ish a week to about 115-110. I am getting old. Slowing up a bit.
It has been a start to a year that you would not wish on your worst enemy.
April saw us tip 70k into the dunny and flush it away.
And to top it off, I find out April that my business manager had been letting cars go without the proper paperwork being done so I had about 30k outstanding and one "lady" from Agnes had been driving MY car around 4 4 1/2 months without paying for it. You can imagine that went down well. He had convinced my Financial Controller NOT to tell me cause he had it under control and no need to add any stress to my day. I did however find that plasterboard walls are quite solid if you throw a person at one and they hit one of the studs. It leaves a bit of a dent but no major damage. That took me a week or so to get sorted. I now have payment for the car.
And we dont have a single person left in the dealership that can pick parts or do quotes up. New parts manageress starts on Monday.
The biggest loss though was our mate Big Trev.
And through it all did I get stressed????? NOOOOOOOO...Truly.....I have remained fairly calm (accept for the man through a wall incident)
But I miss the water and I miss the Berty. I need a break..... I need some bloody workers too.
So if things ease up a bit, the Berty will once again be back in the pi$$ with Newby on the flybridge barking orders at the deckies.
GET ME A JACKS....
GET ME SOME FOOD....
GET OFF THAT....
GET ON THIS.....

and the one we all LOVE......

FISH ON.....CLEAR THE DECK...DO THIS AND THAT...GET OUT OF THE F****** WAY YA D*** HEAD... ;D ;D ;D

Then, and only then, will you know that

NEWBY's BACK

Can anyone come along? I'm thinking i might bring the caravan and boat (19ft Haines) down for the week. Sounds like you guys have a lot of fun. How Quick does the caravan park fill up and do i have to book early?
Greg

Well, If I were you Greg, I would have booked a spot in the cavaran park in about September last year............ in other words....... ring now and hope for the best. There are 2 parks, one on the beach at 1770 and another one before you hit Agnes Water... the beach one is popular.

OH, yes, anyone can come along........... you either come back every year after the first time or.............. never to return.... depends :o 8-) ::)

Due to two people having to pull the pin, there are now two berths vacant at "Top Spot":
http://www.accommodationagneswater.com.au/Lot-83-Woodrow-Drive-AGNES-WATER?_id=e11287
I have booked the Thursday through to the following Friday of the M&G. 8 nights for $900 which is split. We run a food kitty & bring up most stuff from Brisbane. If there are more than two there is room for swags on the deck. Parking on flat ground for two large boats with plenty more on the street. Please PM me if you are interested.;D;D;D;D

Not much accomodation left this year.:o:o:o:o


"NO VEGANS UNLESS THEY ARE TOP LOOKING CHICKS WHO FISH & DRINK NAKED."

[Boat Hog]

Ahhh Newby, you are looking at all this in the wrong way, going fishing could have been a solution to all this. You could've had a team bonding trip;

1. Drop incoming service manager a*hole off on some remote reef at low tide, and,
2. Drop buisness manager off at 1770 and tell him to find his own way back to Gladstone with either the 30k or the car!

You may have even caught some fish.


And to top it off, I find out April that my business manager had been letting cars go without the proper paperwork being done so I had about 30k outstanding and one "lady" from Agnes had been driving MY car around 4 4 1/2 months without paying for it.

Let me know if you're thinking of "selling" the bertie, I would be interested in the same terms as above ;D :P

[TheRealAndy]

Andy

I resemble that remark?:P

Which Damo?

Bad luck you not going to turn up softuscockus, I was looking at giving you a bit of sh!t this year;D

Rob T8-)

Dont worry, I will be there for the cook off, and I will down half a dozen sausage rolls at the golden nugget on the way so you mob will be choking to death.

Which Damo? The big one. He dropped a can of rum on my car last year as I was reversing the boat into sunlover, left a nice dent in the bonnet.

[Apollo]

Ahhh Newby, .................



Let me know if you're thinking of "selling" the bertie, I would be interested in the same terms as above ;D :P

Nearly choked with that one. You will fit in well at the cook off.

Andy - seriously - see a doctor, because that problem is not normal. Doubt it is even human!

What an idiot to do that. What was he thinking???? I mean, why waste a rum???:-?

I thought it was funny too, until I discovered the rum can the next morning and found out it was nearly full. Should be a crime, punishable by death.

[Lucky_Phill]

I swear Andy, if you eat those disgusting sausage rolls from that place and " cut the cheese " at Sunlover, you may find yourself hog tied to a Sandfly infested mangrove tree , somewhere up Toms creek.. :o

Josh

[Lucky_Phill]

George.... you're on the list ( page 28 , post 420 )

Mike..... you are now in red..... possible attendee.

Boony...... Greg did about 5,973,126 k's of sounding over 5,491 days to get those fish on his last trip to 1770. Hopefully, we can match his catch during an over-nighter in September. OK< maybe I might have extended the truth there a tad ???:-? ::) ;D

All we really hope for is some good fishing days and some average ones where we get a choice.......... Doing an over-nighter, as eluded to by George, can really take it out of you and a rest day is well deserved. That day is usually taken up with filleting though.

Looks like the attending numbers have added up to about 53......... :o

I see you got new digs Mr Tranter......... let's hope the R/E don't get wind of you ferets and pull the pin on this one ?? :P 8-)

When I turn up for the annual bagging show, it costs me for every day I'm there, as I am a cashy (not you Stuie) so I loose more money than it actually costs for the week>:(
Why maybe not in your league Timmii:P it's a fair whack to me, but I enjoy the week so much, so bad ####ing luc:-Xk.
So come on show some intestinal fortitude and turn up limpus dickus;)
Shit, who will I bag if your not there.:P

By the wAY qUEERLANDERS oNE ALL NEXT WEDNESDAY:P

[rob tranter]

Seeing as how it has been very quiet, on this thread, and very minimal bagging done I have come up with the following:P

In the day's of old, when Cook was bold
He sailed for the great Southern Land
On arrival he discovered the Land to be old
And the natives very clever at hand

After settlement with convicts and the like
It was decided to subdivide the land
New south wales the land was named
Others had new Ideas, different parts claimed

Heads of state got together
To name these places forever

People queer in part where sent north
To populate this vast estate
Hence Queerland became a State

Those with no sence south they went
Victoria it was called

With Sand in their head west some went instead
Claiming land never before seen
Don't name it after a Queen
So with nothing in mind
Western Australia came into kind

In between was a forgotten land
To the south but inbetween other land
South Australia it was called
And all the Pom's built Churches in this dry strange place
It is different and thats the case

tassy was cold and wet
it was where the last convicts were sent

New South Wales stood alone
The Original State
Where Everyones a mate

When trouble is about
The call goes out
And all from these other States
Stand together
To Defend our Land
As Mates

Proud to be Aussie
Proud of your State
You look around
seeing mate after mate
it's not a problem there from another State
Untill The trouble is over
And the Footy and Cricket is on

[Tangles]

Trantor, you and me must of been watching a different Origin match?

Stand together : NSW your kidding :P
To defend our Land: Tryline what tryline? where? , soft tries:-X
NSW stood alone: yes bloody hopeless one out rubbish;::)

I know your a wall eyed blue welshy, but that ditto missed one line

QUEENSLAND THE ORIGIN STATE 8-)

Nearly.............

NSW is " in a state "...........

A state of delusion

A state of dis-repair

A state of dis-array

A state of enduring wilderness

A state of self-indulgence

A state of self-destruction

A state of " white line fever ".. ( wtf is that try line again ? :P ;D :-X )

OH, in case you haven't noticed...... 5 in a row..... :o

common grand dad, you can do better than that !!!

[NEWBY]

NEWBY, you are very quiet again. Did you lose your voice along with all that weight ???? :-X


.

You may be right Pill. (Although I doubt it)
BUT I have put that weight back on, started sleeping EVERY night and, FOUND MY VOICE YA CHEEKY "NEEDLE POINT" (PR!CK):)
It is time restraints that keep me from voicing my opinion at your obviously very weak attempts at baiting me. Similar to your very pi$$ weak attempts at baiting red emp's.
The result, the odd bite...:sleeping::sleeping::sleeping:
AND if you think I am quiet, call into Motorworld one of these fine days.... I am much better a live performance than in print. Ask the 18 or so people that have errrr, resigned so far this year.
Truth is, with the labor gvt's spending antics, the advice I took of my accountants, bankers, financiers and other so called f*****g experts over the last 3 years, I have been bustin' my arse to keep me business afloat. It did get close to being in some severe trouble a few months back. 120 hours a week and a whole new outlook and a new set of operating procedures that as some know, got me a bit fired up earlier this year after trying to do the right thing and let some AUSFISH ferrals enter a competition I hosted, causing some 1 sided treatment and a short holiday from Ausfish, but I did fix my business and by the time this M&G comes around, it will not be breakable.

Basically speaking, I am a F*****G GENIUS.:P
I am that F*****G GOOD.8-)

So bite me PILL :rifle:and get a life....;D

"Drinking again David?"


Not so's ya'd notice...


Ok, maybe a little.....




too.........................................














much........

[NEWBY]

Anyway, as always at this time of year, it is maintenance time. I have a rippa work schedule this year.
1) Do any of you ferrals want to rewire the Berty? Mainly batteries, winches pumps etc but the guts needs to come out completely and start again. The motors and control wiring in almost new....sorta. Starter Motors will probably need new solenoids. Some new switches etc.
2) CLEAN UP BIG TIME.
3)FULL cut & polish. AGAIN...
4) Service has been started. Well the oil done anyway. That took 3 blokes, a carton of Corona's. a bottle of jacks and 3 days. Yes just to change the oil. 18 litres a side and no sump plug takes a fair bit of logistics ya know.
5) New winch for the dinghy.
6) New anchor chain counter. Along with almost every other thing my FORMER repairer touched, that has never worked since the new anchor winch went in. (I cannot name him yet as I did with Lowrance a couple of years back as I have a legal battle about to be put together and descend upon him)
7) Water tank needs work.
8) Fuel no doubt will need sucking out, tanks cleaned AGAIN and more treatment required after a 6 month layup.
9) Blue lights will need a rewire. Does anyone know where I can get a 12 > 9v marine transformer?
10) lots and lots and lots of other $h!t that I will find as I take on that lot mentioned above.

The way I figure it, after a 6 month layup. unless I have to replace the motors, I will still be in front.;D;D;D

Drinking again David?

OH!!! And WHO THE F**K IS DAVID??? >:(>:(>:( Steve......;);)

AND, my little ferrets and, ferrrals, The first of the Annual GLADSTONE MOTORWORLD OFFSHORE CLASSICS is still scheduled to be held off the Gladstone shores on 19-20-& 21st of August. Good hitout for the M&G but it is a pelagic only comp and tag and release.

In case anyone wants a list:_

Phil not sure your up to speed but i'm heading up with you guys too. We've got two boat going and 6 fella's, camping it out since the house we had got sold on us.

[Captain Seaweed]

Almako,
I recently popped into 1770 on a trip back from Masthead. We were going to pull into the water front caravan park but have no cabins, last year they had shiteloads of huge mozzies also. We went to Captain Cook Caravan park and they had cabins and ample parking for boats. There is a courtesy bus that is more than happy to pick you up from there and take you to the tavern. Otherwise there is also a maxi cab which is cheap as chips.

FYI anyway

[wags on the water]

Do you get paid to stand around and look busy like I do Tim???? Why would I want a real job as opposed to my real easy job....and get paid big $$$$. If I had a real job (your words Tim) I would probably have to work all year to get a week or 2 off. With my real easy job --> I can comfortably go fishin for a week in Darwin, spend a month at home with the missus, and select my days for fish.....err....boating. So I don't mind working when I'm asked to...notice I said asked - not told.
