Agnes Annual M & G. Oct 2006

[thedeckie]

G'day Mike,
Im sure Roz wont mind,we will be around somewhere.

If youre at the campground I will be down there at some stage to have a beer with Newby.

Agnes/1770 isnt that big so Im sure we will cross paths somewhere.

Thanks again

Paul

[NEWBY]

PAUL, the sound system has been fine tuned mate and ready for an all out attack on the usual peace and quiet that is Agnes Waters. Booze and Tunes. Great country Australia.

[thedeckie]

Newby,
Im picturing you now,belly full of Jack air guitaring out on the back deck of the Nellie K to AC/DC!!! ;D (I will have the camera with me too)

What happened to doing the Thai style calamari you did last year,that was awesome!!

And agree with you 100% on the great country we live in,let's just keep it that way too!! ;)

Mate,i wish you could show some excitement.... ::)

cheers

Dunno about the air guitar mate. and the sauce I did fro the cuttlefish last year was an adaptation of my mud crab recipe. Which in turn is an adaptation of my Chilli Mussles recipe. so, if I can get mussles, I am a sure fire winner of the cookoff. If its mud crab, well I will have to fight it out with Roz ( I do have an ace up my sleeve for that though) and if I have to make us all suffer with chilli prawns or squid, then so be it and I will still win.... ;)
AC/DC is loaded mate. Jacks is in plentifull supply. Tanks are already full just a clean to go and I am ready to sail.

Dunno though, still having problems getting excited.

Newbie,

You realise you are going to pushing it up hill trying to beat my Chilli Mud Crab. ;D

I've heard on the grape vine about the possibility of a vote on the night, secret ballot of course!! 8-)

ROZ

Now now Roz. Leave the gloves on cause I want to soften the blow here. I have pushed many smelly objects up a hill with a pointy stick so this shouldnt be a problem ;) AND just between you and I, I believe a trip out wide in the Berty thrown your way could help your recipe be, lets say, different this year and maybe not so enjoyable? ;D
Time will tell.

[DALEPRICE]

i did nominate myself as taste tester a while ago and
the mussle dish is starting to sound like a bit of all right.

but........ with all the drinking, eating and fishing going on its sounds like
a full on week is going to occur !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think its only about 6 sleeps for me and im on my way !!!!!!!!!!!!

making the final few sinkers this arvo andim ready...................
cheers dale

see ya up their

[Lucky_Phill]

Certainly sounds like things are hotting up ! ( Chilli pun intended ).

Roz is correct, there will be a Cook - Off voting system in place. Details later. :-X

Dale, I know you offered your world renowed talent for the taste testing, but the sounds of all things Crab, Prawn and Mussell have turned my attention to an " All In " taste test. ;) ;D ;D

The weather up here has been brilliant for the last 6 days and the Spanish Mackerel run has arrived.

RE:- shirts.............Tony has the tally board at his shop, so call in on the way through to pick them up ( and pay, for those that haven't yet ). ::)

PBA boys have thrown down the challenge big time, people. Last count has put their boat numbers at 19.........that's about 45 fisherfolk trying to dominate the Ausfish members, whose numbers run in at about 23. That also makes for one big Presentation Night at Tonys shop. I still think it isn't fair that they outnumber us only 2 to 1, they will need it to be 5 to 1 to have a chance against us ;D ;D ::) ::) ::)

Mike ( 2iar ), you won't have any trouble finding Paul ( the deckie ), just look for the boat cruising out of the channel..... :-X or, call out to Captain Steer-Crooked ;D ;D 8-)

Cheers Phill

If it's like that phil i may stay for the week :D

Ian

[NEWBY]

Good on ya Phil, show us the glamour weather while we are all still at work :'(
I have set up a virtual buoy offshore of agnes and it is saying anywhere from 3-15kn for the rest of the week. with decresing seas down to about 3ft.
If this holds out, were all in for a HUGE time of it.
I will pay homage to mother nature and withdraw all previous insults to her if we get a good week.

[DALEPRICE]

right o phill.......... looks like we will be each holding 3 rods
and baiting hooks in our sleep ;D ;D

they have also forgotten which side the local guru is fishing for ;D

not long at all................

Yep yep yep yep yep. TONY, AF's secret weapon.
We may be outnumbered 3-1 but we will still win. We have more alchohol, better people, more local knowledge and to top it all we have 3000watts of sound on the berty. So if we arent catching we can pull her up next to PBA guys and turn her up. Guaranteed no fish for 20 miles after a few minutes of AC/DC pounding the ocean bottom.
Secret weapons? You bet. We got sheet loads of em. ;)

RE:- #shirts.............Tony has the tally board at his shop, so call in on the way through to pick them up ( and pay, for those that haven't yet ). ::)



Phill,

What is the story with the shirts?

Is it too late for the late entries to place an order?



As mentioned earlier, Gunna (Peter) and I are making a late dash to this one and we will be staying with the Mooks.

Will be bringing coming up Saturday morning with an 8 metre platey and hoping to get out amongst them, we are low on local knowledge so will be looking to the group for a fair bit of assistance.

Also sitting back here counting down the days.

[fishin4fun]

We are in the same situation as you darren, last minute decision to go ,staying at 1770 camp ground and towing up a 5.2 c/console not knowing the area hopefully we,ll be able to get out far enough to get some decent fish or with abit of that local knowledge passed on to us ;) might see us bring something other than grinner into the boat...........Rob

[blaze]

I make it 10 sleeps until departure time, I reckon if I skip a couple between now and then I can get it down to 8, na, better save all my energy for the M&G. This is only going to get better every year.
Thanks must go to all that spend time sorting out the details etc.
cheers
blaze
ps
the boss (wife) reckons I will come home like a porker with all this talk of food.

[thedeckie]

I think my observations on the weather will be be done as I gently roll my head to the east whilst lazing on the deckton!!!! :)

But,observations could also be made on how much drink has been consumed the night before.

Captain Steer Crooked hey Phill!!!! >:(

You can explain that one when someone asks :)

I still stand my ground on the fact the GPS was faulty,how else could I be 2kms off the mark!!!! DOH!!! ;D ;D

Hey Rob

I'll be in a 5.2 centre consol and if the weather is good i'll be out near the shelf!! ( It is a southwind though) plus there is plenty of ground in the 25 mile range that holds great fish ;)

Ian

[agnes_jack]

Too late to order anymore shirts, but there are a few spares still available (depending on sizes) so you might be right!!

Plenty of marks available for Ausfishers, as well as local advise ;)

Newby #(lost your phone number)
I think you may have to organise your black mussels before you come, they are a tad scarse in these here parts!! should be right for the crabs, although there has been a lot of jenny's around lately. Hopefully we can scrape up enough males for a feed :-/ I have secured those red emp marks for the disscused overnighter on the bertie mate ;)

All is looking good

Regards, Tony :D

I will be anchored as close to the camping ground as I can safely get and as I have been down there a few times, I can promise you that weather permitting, you will have no problem getting out wide for a few good fish mate.

Hey Rob,

Me & Fishin' Dan are also at the campgrounds Monday - Friday. We might leave my Signature 460DF (Tillie) near Newby's boat in the water if it's possible, but come and join us for a beer anyway.

Good luck,
Mike

"Although, I do believe I will not win the comp. I reckon the fellas will feel sorry for you and vote for you even though mine will be better #.
Only time will tell. "

Sorry but you are in denial, & making up excuses for losing, even before one muddie hits the wok!!!!!!!

I think I have you bluffed... this is going to be tooooooo easy!! I also fish better than I cook, so you are in for a flogging on both counts!!

BTW what will be the prize I'm going to win? ;D ;D ;D

Righto then Roz, Gloves are off darl.
Thou will not outfish the Newbs and thou CERTAINLY will NOT outcook the Newbs. If ya wanna lose 3 out of 3 lets go for the drinking too ;)
Gees, I cant believe the arogance of women today. I blame it all on Germaine Grear. God bless the croc hunter.
Newby is 8 foot tall and bullet proof and I grow to 10 foot after a bottle of single barrel Roz so LOOK OUT. ;D War has been declared.

[fishin4fun]

Gday Mike we are leaving bayside monday 9th in the morning and coming back on Friday will defininetly have to catch up for a beer and swap some tall stories, and newby if the boats in the water will gladly taxi you from the royal ausfish flagship " NELLIE K" 8-) to terra firma .............cheers Rob

Thanks mate, I would swim out but I might be out of my depth with a bottle or so of jacks + a feed of muddies in me. I always have the zodiac just a pain in the ar$e to get it on and off the berty.

It will have to be two out of three Newbster, four beers and it becomes a three ringed circus for me.

Definately got you pegged in the cooking/fishing comps.

You had better watch yourself, too many bottles of personality & ya gunna get flogged!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[NEWBY]

Nah Roz, never happen.
I do not get ifectid by ilcohal. SEE ;D
Maybe a side bet will be in order here eh? We can sort out the details over a few quieties. But be aware, it's gonna hurt

BTW It hasn't got go fast stripes. Where do you get them??

[NEWBY]

I believe Roz's V- sea has go fast stripes 8-)
I am about to fit my all new secret weapon to the berty, "chrome plated fox tails with double hinged swing ropes"hangin from the outriggers. That takes a higher rankin in the secret weapon stakes than go fast stripes. And thats why I WILL WIN THE COOKING COMP. Attention to detail and just being better than your competition. NEWBY=FIG JAM ;D
Only 10 [smiley=zzz.gif] [smiley=zzz.gif] [smiley=zzz.gif] [smiley=zzz.gif] [smiley=zzz.gif] [smiley=zzz.gif] [smiley=zzz.gif] [smiley=zzz.gif] [smiley=zzz.gif] [smiley=zzz.gif] TO GO. WOOOOHOOOOOOOO and only 3 more sleeps until the pilgrimage to Sydney for the NRL Grand Final and only 3 more sleeps until the MIGHTY WEST COAST EAGLES win the AFL Grand Final.
Just thought about something very serious here. I will be in sydney, at some low life pub with a lot of jacks and a bloody huge screen yelling for the West Coast Eagles in a very hostile environment. If ya's dont here from me on Monday or Tuesday, you will all know that West Coast won and someone in Sydney took offence to Newby's unique style of celebrating. A loud, drunk and very obnoxious Newby in a Sydney pub has a way of upsetting the local natives. Even worse if my team loses. Hmmmm could be a dangerous weekend.

I didn't say how it would out perform the berty eg a race up round hill creek at low tide i'm backing the V-sea even a race out of round hill creek at low tide i'm backing the V-sea , crossing the bar at low tide,V-sea, least fuel to the cetaca and back ,V-sea ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ahhh but Ian thats when the berty gives birth to the 3.6m zodiac. Only need 15cm of water to run her in and it runs on an oily rag. Ya see mate, gotta be prepared and 2 steps ahead of the competition. Its how I got the Berty in the first place. ;D And lets face it, with an ego like mine, mate ya gotta have SOMETHING to back it up with. Plan b, c, d, e, and f are already in the file with plans G,H and I already in the planning stages.

Hi Rob,

Interesting. What time are you heading off on Monday? I haven't finalised anything with Dan yet but I'm keen to get on the road early (meaning we can get on the piss earlier upon arrival). Maybe we should meet up at say, the servo at Carseldine and travel up in a convoy? Might be handy to keep an eye out for each other along the way...

Good luck,
Mike

Ah ha!!!!

Good thinking Ian, my VC over the bar at low tide YEP!!!! been there done that!!!

She doesn't draft much on the plane.... how about Berty????? and ......AND....don't go wheeling in a poxy little zodiac to do ya dirty work.

On the other hand, I have to be very very carefull here Ian, for two very important reasons.

Firstly the male ego in question here is probably...well almost certainly fragile, so I must be extremely soothing and gentle when I cook an infinately better chilli mud crab, as well as catching #bigger and more of, than my opposition.

Secondly, if I am not carefull after winning the cooking, I could be voted off the Berty for the over nighter, thereby ruining my chances at the double..... I do know which side my bread is buttered on. So I must show magnanimity in victory.

One more thing Ian, my seafarer is one of only a handfull of VCs that were made with three colours on the hull, orange & white above the gunnell rubber and blue & white below. You usually only see them in two colours, hence my call sign "VC3".

Originally it was a demonstration model for Wes tern W eb marine, then a surf rescue boat.
My Dad bought it for me from a chappie at Tumbulgum 3k around 15 years ago, so it's done some work. I found out it's earlier history after visiting the seafarer factory up near broard beach... I found it interesting anyway!!

My thoughts exactly mike , early start means early beers and a bit of a fish in the arvo . We are planning to leave app 7.00 am #pick up the third deckie on the north side of gympie then through to bundy and the back way into 1770. #Traveling up with another vehicle gives that extra piece of mind. #will pm you..... Rob

[NEWBY]

ROZ ROZ ROZ ROZ ROZ!!!!!
Firstly i will be using the little electric thing with the crane that lowers the poxy little Zodiac into the water for me. So rather than looking at it as "wheeling the poxy little thing in" look at it like it was Greg Normans hollywood yacht with all things hollywood on it. Somewhere in between those 2 descriptions is the "Nelli K".
Secondly, you are right, my ego is fragile :-[, extremely, but this is purely speculation as it has never been tested. What I am saying here dear is that I have never been FAIRLY beaten at anything in my life.
Thirdly, after the FIXED competition of cooking mud crab [smiley=chef.gif] in which the taste testers have already been told to let you win, there is no way that when it comes to the overnighter on the berty that I would ever stop you coming. It is the only place that the males wont feel pressured into not hurting your fragile female feelings. It is also the place where the proof is in the ice box.

Now Roz, at this point I would like to point out that I have the ultimate respect for you and think you are a lovelly lovelly person . (did that get me out of the very deep hole I just dug for myself? [smiley=iloveyou.gif]) However, when it comes to competition and my "fragile" ego, no holes barred baby. Winner takes all (Even if the cooking comp is fixed)
So here we have a problem. You have already won the cooking without preparing a dish, I will definately sink a size 12 into your posterior (kick your ar$e) in fishing. so we will ultimately end in a draw. we need a 3rd and final decider comp. [smiley=idea.gif] [smiley=idea.gif] [smiley=idea.gif] (and it wont be chin ups) Arm wrestle? Nah not fair your a chick. errrrr Drinking??? Nah you already admit ya cant drink, thats the chicky thing again. Maybe a game of chess? Then we have an even comp. Guy thing, fishing. Chick thing, cooking and a mind thing, chess. Ya in????? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Got your PM mate, and I'll be in touch.

Dan - this ok with you? I was thinking a bit of an earlier start, but I don't suppose it matters too much. I can always get you to drive if I get too thirsty ;)

Good luck,
Mike

[fishin4fun]

mike ...... i can do earlier i,m open to suggestions..........rob

[Fishin_Dan]

I'm all good fellas. Whatever time you want to leave is fine by me. I'd be happy leaving at 2/3 am if needed... That means roughly (If the trip is guessing 5 hours) 7/8am arrival. Set up the tent, quick brekkie, and then into the fish.... ;D

But whatever time is best, I'm all good for. It's your decision El Capitan

[snappa]

phill

when can the FISH start to be weigh-in

remember i'll need a day to get over the journey to 1770 ..

i think "AGE BONUS" should apply for the over 55 's & add couple of kilo's per fish...


:-?


MY SKIPPER has told me to buy some clothes line and 30/0 hooks. :o

240890--1515300 is the mark for very large reds.[spot R] ..phill please keep this to yourself ... ::)

[Lucky_Phill]

Well Pete, you can weigh-in fish anytime from Saturday morning until Thursday evening at 6pm

I say again. Thursday 12th at 6pm is the cut-off point.

A kilo allowance for age is going to be set at 1kg/ 5 years over 50. And also there is an ' inexperience " allowance set at 1kg/ 5 years younger than 50. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :P :P :P

30/0 hooks hey. :P

Someone splash Peter with a cold beer....he's dreaming !!!!! again !!! ;D

You realise Pete, that the GPS mark you so kindly offered is 112 kilometers from 1770 and in 350mtrs of water ???? OH, you knew that ! ::) ::)

24.13.519............151.54.643 is where most of the REDS will be caught. OH, is that a fav spot of mine or what ???? ;D ;D

not long now Ferets.

All this talk of comps has made me thirsty. It's Beer o'clock here at Agnes.

[theoldlegend]

Phill,

Is the age allowance 1kg for every 5 years over 50 and part thereof? We need to get these technical points settled before the weigh in.

I think if you're under 50, the allowance should be only half a kg for the PBA guys.

Thanks Newbs................now tell us about the ' ink '

;D ::)

Dale and his Dad turned up today in Agnes. Minus an ' allison '. Apparently the suspension shat just out from Bundy. Being an Independently sprung setup means it's Cactus. The boys will be back in Bundy tomorrow trying to fit a new set of slipper springs under her belly.

Apart from that, it is still 5 sleeps til " D " day. ;D

Just spoke to Roz, Newbs, she said that a while ago, the Iron Chef came out to see what all the fuss was about a certain Chilli Mud Crab, as he has professed to being the CMC King. Took one taste, ate his hat, put a skirt on and went home, mumbling something about looking for a new occupation. ::) :o :o ;D ;D

I can just picture all the mud crubs scurrying for the mangroves with the fear of Roz and Newby put in them.

Hey guys, I had some success up here in Agnes towing an Aussie jig with pink feathers on the weekend. Looks like the mackerel are on!

Trouble is mine got a bit mangled and Tony doesn't have any in his shop. If anybody that's coming up can grab me a couple from the Gold Coast stores (I know Brad Smith at the Boatshed runs them) I'll fix ya up when you get here.

The ones I favour have pink feathery stuff on em in gang sizes suitable for a pillie, the multistrand wire not the single.

Heath also put me onto the big boy for trolling a dead bonny or big anything around. They have ganged 8/0s in them. Again if there is a feather option I'd prefer pink. A couple of these as well wouldn't go astray. Here's a link to a site you all probably know that's got em.

http://www.tagnbragtrading.com/p/147273/want-one-of-these-on-your-line-.html

Actually you may even be able to pick them up from Wayne direct, I think he is up Paradise Point way.

If anybody can help me out there's a beer or two in it for yas ;)

See yas soon

Further to The Mooks earlier post, here are the rigs that he is chasing.

I had a look in BCF today but nothing close to the size of these.

The hooks are 8/0 so it is a large rig.

Anyone got any ideas on where to get them in the next day or so?

[BeastMaster]

Hello Ausfisher people - The BeastMaster has just returned from a week at Agnes Waters - The weather was great whilst we were there , we caught our fair share but left them biting every day for you guys.
Trip 1 - Had a ball live baiting for just about every known species of Trevally - GT ,Bludgers, Diamond, Tea Leaf , Blue Spot ,Big Eyes . Then travelled about 8 kms south to fill a 85L esky full of mixed reefies.
Trip 2 Put the pots in the creek for 2 very nice Muddies , and Tagged Bream , Flathead ,Queenfish , Gold Spot Cod , School Mackerel ,Pikey Bream.
Trip 3 .Tuesday Nite at the Pub - All you can eat for about $12 ahead.
I stuck to fresh Prawns and Spanner Crabs in cheesey garlic sauce with generious rations of Bundies and Beers. ( I did eat a small leaf of lettuce which I put on the plate to stop the pile of prawns from falling off the side.)
Trip 4 Mackerel Fishing - Got one Spanish and 1/2 a dozen good schoolies in a couple of hours. Unfortunately BeastMaster Jrn loss a PB Cobe of 20 to 30 kg right next to the boat - a split ring straightened on his CD24 Rapala.
Trip 5 Awonga Dam - Very windy conditions made it difficult to fish from the 6M Sportfish . BeastMaster Jrn did however manage to out fish the old man by landing his 1st Lure cast Barra.
PS Thanks for the Tips Tony I'll get those GPS points to you in the next couple of days. Photo of Jnr on his Cobe .

Hate to say this but buoyweather says that Tuesday and Wednesday nights are definately drinking nights with up to 35kn predicted on a 14ft sea. Oh well, TONY, looks like you will have to take me to your Jack spot too mate. I just happen to have aquired a branf new shakespear 6'graphite flick rod with reel yesterday just in case mother nature didnt play for the whole week. ;D Here we go here we go here we go.

[NEWBY]

So far so good and buoyweather is right on the mark. Today and tomorrow a bit windy but dropping out Friday. Next Tuesday looks like getting up a bit at this stage but will keep you all informed. Friday to Tuesday looks like awsome weather. I will have constant weather updates while we are down there too now that I have a CDMA card for the lap top.
See ya sarvo Phil.
2 more sleeps for the Newbs.

ps
Just on a sub issue
last year on the day I was leaving my daugher put her car over a 20 foot bank, she was fine and suprisingly only minor car damage.
this morning my son was in row of 3 cars when the front car created a problem which caused my son to slightly rear end the car in front of him (yep, musta been to close) bit of damage to car and more to his pride.
Ok here lies the problem
One more son left for next year
Can we move it to NorthenTerriotry next year

[NEWBY]

Hmmmm Buoyweather has changed its mind and is showing back down to 15-20kn Wednesday but still with huge seas. Good crabbing weather. Good drinking weather. GREAT jack fishing weather. Got the hint Tony? ;) ;D

[Mr__Bean]

Given that there will be a few in town by Friday night, is there a plan for an early season Saturday morning?

I know I am keen!!!!

Looks like the first few days are the offshore pick weather wise.

If ya's are going out Saturday look for the Berty with aussie flags and boxing kangaroo flags flying proudly from the outriggers cruising down the coast. Should enter the creek about 9-10am so Bustard about 8ish. Give the old Newb's a wave as I fly past at a top rate of about 15kn. ;D

[land-lubber]

Should be leaving m/boro at around 6.30-7.30am tomoz morning :D If ur going up later in the day look for a white Toyota corolla with a lot of dints in it (from me kicking the bloody thing if it breaks down ;D) and i might need a lift ::)
Nah, hopefully by the time some of u fellas arrive, ill have the biggest overall fish of the day :P

[theoldlegend]

The Paul and John show should rock in about 10am Saturday.

Roz, after you get back from out wide Saturday, don't worry if you see a police car outside your place.

It'll only be Paul and me getting off to a start.

Safe trip to all those heading to Agnes today and over the weekend. If anyone is hanging around after the official M&G, I will be there (1770 Camping Grounds) Tuesday the 17th for a 2 week stay.

[NEWBY]

>:( :( :-? :-/ :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Click on file link below called Agnes forecast.doc.
Be aware though, it may not be all bad, as it is a LONG TERM prediction, anything can happen with the high pressure systems that are coming through so it could get a lot better before next week yet and usually does. ;D
BUT it could get worse as well. :'( :'( :'(
Sorry to be the bearer of mildly bad news.

[Lucky_Phill]

OK ferets, don't forget, Saturday night at Roz's place for the mini M & G.

13 Sunlover ave, Agnes. BYO grog and meat for bbq.

Roz, Peter, Dale, Brian, Phill and Terry hit the water early am this morning for a quick hit out. Hussar, Nanny, Parrot, Cobes, Trevors etc came on board. Nuffin to brag about, but, a good feed put together anyway.

Ran into Mr Bean and crew at the boat ramp.

Have crab ready for CMC !!!!!! Newbs

All OK Newbs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ;)

More later. you all have a safe trip up tomorrow.

Cheers Phill

[NEWBY]

Well I have just looked at the long range buoyweather forecast and it aint good I am afraid. Monday night getting up to 20+kn and by Wed morn 35+kn predicted. Dropping back out on Friday to sort of 14-18. Thats all I have for now but will have internet on the berty so if anything changes, and you have graced us with your contact particulars, I will text it to you all. Weekend is absolutely glamour though just 4-11 kn predicted until late Monday arvo. Monday night on great pi$$ drinking and jack catching weather. he he.

[finding_time]

Leaving Bris tonight at about 12 am be at the ramp at 7am with any luck having already droped of some gear at the house and visited tony ;) Heading wide and will return monday arvo, sooner if run out of esky room so will be very keen for a beer monday night Newb's :D :D :D :D :D that until i passout 2 nights without sleep gets harder and harder as i get older :o :o also a 2 day trip can really sort the men from the boys on the ub 520 8-)
