Hey murf any update with the fishin style shirt at all mate???

Will definatley be ordering a couple of those bad boys. Might even need to get 'Team Bimini Twist' embroidered on them;D

Josh

[TimiBoy]

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.

Getamulletupya

Bah! Get a job like mine. I never stand around and look busy. OK, I've never gone fishing in Darwin, but most of every month I spend at home with the Missus, and I go fishing whenever I want, which (warranted) would be easier if I owned a boat - gimme a couple more years and that'll change. I never get asked to work. In fact last year I thought about working for a few days, and my Staff asked me not to!!!

You getamulletupya! ;D;D;D;D

[Lucky_Phill]

Do you two want a room ??????

OK. Mike

I'll scrub you from the accom digs, that way it may free up some space for others.

Tim,

nuffin !

Mike.... Aigutso...... in fact were are up to 76 people.... OH minus 2... back to 74.

...

In case anyone was wondering...


It is 76 days to the M & G.


Or 2 months, 15 days

Alternative time units

76 days can be converted to one of these units:

6,566,400 seconds
109,440 minutes
1824 hours
10 weeks (rounded down)

there are few amongst them that tie there own flys
cheers Murf

I tie my own saltwater flys, known as "RAG" brand, stands for "Rough AS Guts". I dont sell them just make them for myself, so I have hooked but not landed 1 shark :'(. Things have gotta improve, might give one to Phill with two L's to try out after some bugger stole his red rig last year.;D

[Chris Ryan]

Who's organising the hot pink stickers this year??? ;)

[Boat Hog]

Okay guys I'm going to have to be a non starter this year. But it's not due to some feeble excuse like work coming before fishing:P

Our boat is going up for sale and we probably won't have a (big) boat for the M&G. That's the bad news.

The good news is the minister for war, finances(inluding all fishing expenditure) and interior decorating has said it's time for a new boat. So we've ordered one!! Deposit paid and now working out how we're going to pay for the rest of it.

2011 Seaswirl Striper 2101 WA, Verado 225hp, Easytow Alloy trailer and a few extras;) coming in approx 3 months.;D:o

Should be nicely run in, in time for Ausfish 2012 Agnes Water/1770 M & G.

Cheers,

[Greg001]

Hey Phill can you change me to a maybe? I may not be able to fish but will try and get down for a visit., Pulled the fuel tanks out the other day just to check them and unfortunatley stringers, keel and transom have all gone south. So time to do the lot including a 700mm pod. I am pushing to have it done in time but i don't know.

[Chris Ryan]

NSW did themselves no favours at all and, I am man enough to admit it, QLD were the much better team. SOO is all about taking opportunities when they are there as typically there isn't many and QLD pounced each and every time. The era of "no props" I hope is dead and gone. The QLD front row at half time made more metres than the entire NSW team together!!!

[Lucky_Phill]

Hi Kev,

We are staying at Captain Cook Holiday Village. I haven't been there before this is my first 1770 trip but I'm sure looking forward to it.
They still had cabins available when I booked my cabin.
I've been told there is plenty of area to park boats.
Cheers Bull

[buggerit]

Thanks Bull , I will give them a call in the morning . Have not stayed or fished from this area before .

[murf]

welcome to the mad house :)

if you read back through the 3547 posts of crap over the years you will find heaps of great info on fishing the area, or just ask haha

you must live next door to finga? or at least separated by one house :P

Phill with two LL's has all the info for the skipper re boating safety /contacts etc

have fun

and if you want a commemorative shirt/shirts of the M&G with some great embroidery on it give me a PM

cheers Murf

[Captain Seaweed]

Those guys that are staying at Captain Cook Caravan Park. I popped in there with Burley GU along the way home from Masthead Island. It has heaps of space for boats, make sure you mention this and they can give you a cabin out the back. There is a courtesy bus that can pick you up and drop you off if your heading to the Agnes Pub which is bloody handy, there is also a taxi which is cheap as chips. Cant wait!!

[XtremeBoony]

Well i think it's about time for my monthly post. 53 days to go but who's counting :P What does that break down to phill?? Well the boys come through with a great win for the origin, bloody brilliant series yet again and almost my favourite time of year (almost :P) I will PM u soon phil as my address for the M & G have changed due to the winners moving back in but will let you know. Murf will talk to the other team member about the shirts and will let u know. Probably 2 of the polo's with a bit extra embroidery but will PM ya when we are sorted. If we are to late ordering then it's no biggie.
Some great reports still coming in from offshore 1770 which is great and getting me through the hard times;D. I will need to catch a red soon as the itch has started to turn into a rash ::);D::) Man it still feels like 3 years away. we will be overnighting if the weather allows us to and can't wait.
Will start organising the bait soon (mullet fillets, bonito, slimies etc) all the terrible planning jobs ;D
Hope the weather is as good as what you guy's had last year or even better would be great.
The missus is starting to make hints that she would like to slip out for a fish but who would look after the kiddies darling ;D but will see what we can do.
Well not long now and looking forward to meeting a few of u ratbags.

You can probably still get Mullet fairly cheap. I picked up 25kg of whole mullet for $2.00/kg from Aussie Seafood Warehouse about 3 weeks ago. Whole is good as they stay in good condition for ages in the freezer. Particularly if you vac seal them. And you get to use the frames for burley.

Phil....Only 35kg's mate?? geez are you going for an extra week :) I think the mullet fillets I get from up here are more around the $7-8 a kilo but not many places have them. Already got some bonito and do u think there could be a PM for a place to get live slimies hey phill?? :)

cheers from boony

[Lucky_Phill]

Unfortunately, live slimies are few and far between at 1770. It's been a good 2 - 3 years since I could jig them up at will.

Plenty of Yakka though.

apparently, down NTH NSW way, big slimies are very easy to get. hey murf ???????

So, to all you NSW folks that get offshore, by all means catch and keep some big slimies for the rest of us, as I am sure some sort of barter system can be worked out :)

I've posted in the general section but thought I'd post here also - my deckie's not looking good for the M&G so keen to hear if anyone is interested in going or can recommend someone. Fishing from a CC Outsider 625 and sharing costs up and back from Bris. Accom is a share house arrangement with other Ausfishers. If my original deckie can still make it we can fish 3 with comfort. Please send a PM or call on 0447 144000 if anyone can help.

Ok, Swains done now for the M&G. As Steve (Apollo) can only make it for a day or 2 this year, I may have a spot available for someone looking to be a decky. Share costs, must be non smoker and preferably not prone to sea sickness.

Also just seen that the bar at 1770 has just been added to the list of bars that when crossing the bar in a boat 4.8m or less you must be wearing a life jacket. It comes into effect 1st January 2012.

Mark

[murf]

I've posted in the general section but thought I'd post here also - my deckie's not looking good for the M&G so keen to hear if anyone is interested in going or can recommend someone. Fishing from a CC Outsider 625 and sharing costs up and back from Bris. Accom is a share house arrangement with other Ausfishers. If my original deckie can still make it we can fish 3 with comfort. Please send a PM or call on 0447 144000 if anyone can help.

so did you get a deckie organised?

Cheers Perry

Perry i think some of the cabins you would be able to park the boat beside however the ones we stayed in this year were right up the end and they have a huge open area directly oposite the cabins. perhaps give the park a call and enquire and maybe see if they can fax or email you a park layout map with the remaining available cabins for you to pick from. space will always be subject to your boat size and weather you wish to leave it on the back of a car or not also.

So whats the count down to now fella's??? 36 days going by my calander ;D Murf, will have the shirt money to you asap. Also a bit of a scare put through camp with my fishing mate Aussiepride pulling out due to his young fella needing an op around the same time. As he is the one with the bigger boat. But looks like he still may come down towards the end of the week for a few days and bring the 6.4 baysport with him. I will just have to tough it out in my 5 meter center console till then but hey WE QLDERS ARE A TOUGH BREED ;D Turns out we go alright at footy as well 8-) Aussiepride also apologises phil that he hasn't gotten back to you as he has been overseas with work, then been flat out with family and work once he got back. So what else?? 36 days to go i've heard ::) BRING IT ON, BRING ON THE FLAT SEAS, BRING ON THE REDS AND BRING ON THE GOOD TIMES...... That is all.....

easy fix murf..anything like chilli etc..just take a bite of a raw potato..negates the burning instantly.

[Captain Seaweed]

Hs anyone made or heard of any plans for the cook off? Are we heading to your place Phil for the kick off and shirt presentation?

[Captain Seaweed]

A few things I found that may help in preparation for the trip if overnighting in lagoon
-good fenders if tieing up with other boats
-additional Jerry cans for an overnighter on the reef
-portable toilet/ bucket for overnighter and ease of going
-snorkel gear and spears
Might seem like obvious things but.......I will try and post a pic

[Lucky_Phill]

I will email everyone soon with some final details, including Cook-Off location and rules.

Don't forget the Pooh-Tickets for those over-nighters..................... :-?

Still waiting for Inlike to answer pm. ????

An average round trip for an over-nighter to the islands will see you do from 200 - 300k's, so work out your fuel usage and carry any extra if necessary.

There will be a weigh in station available. That means you can pull up and grab the Photogenic fish, hold it in front of the Ausfish Banner and plonk it on the scales to get a KG reading. The station will be situated at " tranquility ". Located at lot 6, North Break Drive, Agnes Water. You will see the AF banner diaplyed out front, so you won't miss it.

Awww Geez I'd forgotten about that. Wags turns his head and Bruce rubs some chilli oil from The Tropicrows Chilli Of Death jar on the rim of his glass. The rest, of course, has been recorded in the journals of history - f%^(kin' funny, and a very true demonstration of the fact that while Bruce may seem to be a calm, balanced, somewhat mild mannered fellow, he is actually a particularly twisted, sick, and horribly imaginative psycho.

taking up some old reels for a bit of entertainment value - after putting some colour in the esky to take the pressure off hope to have a laugh blowing them up....or more likely not. 30+ year old reels running 30lb or 50lb braid should be an interesting combination - got a couple of Penn jigmasters in 500 and 501, an Olympic Dolphin, a Penn Squidder and might put on a little old Shakespeare President 1984B baitcaster on an ancient Ugly Stick and see what happens in shallower water.

I reckon some one (not me) should do a bait run from NSW to 1770, we can get all the Slimeys you want, in any size you want, all the Cuttlefish anyone could ever want, they are floating around all over the place right now (they die just after spawning) and literaly tonnes of Yellowtail (Yakkas) then they could zip into the north coast and pick up half a ute load of Mullet and the bait is set for everyone.

[Lucky_Phill]

murf has been promising me for years to get slimies from down that way, for my M & G fishing. He said they are thick as and can get as many as i want............


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm waiting..............waiting.............waiting.. ......................

there is schools of Slimeys here now that are a klm across, some fish are over a Kg and some are itsy bitsy, just burley for a milli second and catch as many as you care to process when you get home. I don't use them much at all (except for alive)

Hey Newby,
over the past 3 or 4 1770 M and G's, each year you have spent big $$$ on the old girl. Now i'm not exact on this but did a rough guesstimate, i figure you spent approx. $451,386.18 on repairs:-X
I think thats great for keeping QLD jobs and keeping vintage boats on the water...but you could have bought any one of these:o

[Lucky_Phill]

Anyone know where I can get Mullet Fillets at a reasonable price now. I know I might of left it a bit late.
Cheers Bull

too late alright :P ;D ;D ;D

I posted up info on about 6th October last year, telling people to get in for their Mullet ... when it is in season.

having said that. I will take all I have up.( around 50kgs ) Meaning I should have a few kgs to offload to those desperate souls looking for a great Red bait ::) ;D ;)

Bull, you'll have to call::::--------->

Richard Bros at Bulimba

Morgans Seafoods at Scarbourough

OR...... ya may have to bite the bullet and call a bait'n'tackle shop

The tackle shop at Agnes will have plenty though.

as I said, I am sure I could sling ya 5kgs or so............8-)


Cheers LP
