Tangas on Aust Day

[skippa]

A few ausfishers are planning on heading over to Tangas on Australia Day, for a family day.

Agenda something like this:

*Leave Manly ramp 7.00am (nice sleep in) ;)
*Head for Sandhills and have a scout around up the hills (great Pics from here over bar and back to Brissy)
or maybe sneak a quick fish ;D
*Cruise up inside along Moreton to Tanga wrecks for snorkel
*BBQ lunch on the beach
*Sneak in a quick fish in the arvo ;D
*Back to ramp 3.00ish
*Brett to wash down all Ausfisher boats whilst other skippers sip a quick ale .....
(and give out any helpful advise to Brett washing our boats, eg ya missed a spot mate) ;D ;D


If anyone else is interested just post a reply or send me a PM


Cheers,

jason

ps-does brett want to wash my car while he's at it :-? oops did i say that out loud ;D ;D

[skippa]

Ahhh the snorkelling is optional Darryl ;)

[Brejen]

Good stuff Tony, as usual the MISTRESS and deckies will be there.

Now the washin: bit to easy mate i'm up for that as well but we have water worries here being on tank water and all, so i suggest that any one that wants there boat washed will have to tow it to Skippa's house ( i'll supply the address ;D ), park ur boat on Skippa's beautiful lawn and i'll give it a wash.

Is the snorkelling at tanga's going to come with a armed guard :( . Not to sure if i'll get the big bod wet there, now. :o .

Is the mainly ramp the one we went from that day i went with you?

Brett

[Brejen]

Jas just saw the bit washin the car mate.

We can do that Tony's as well, might be good idea to degrease that engine on the drive as well hey.

Brett

Darryl she's right mate i'll wash them and you should see the chemicals we can use. Brings the boats up a treat but the lawn mate, well we just keep that to ourselves hey or Skippa will not allow me to wash them.

[2iar]

[Brejen]

The wash bit is only goin to happen at Skippa's place. Na d then it has to be on his lovely lawn, and degreasing will be done on his wonderfull driveway. Thats it there will be no other discussion Re that. ;D ;D :P

Brett

[longtail]

No problems Brett, plenty of vacant blocks of land around our house ;D
Don't know about beautiful lawn, it's just grass mate, but yeah I like neat ..... and the new lazer guided whipper snipper works a treat too ;D
Driveway is off limits tho ... can't have 2nd grade boats like Haines in my drive way, Southwinds all the way .... ;D
Jase,

A stubbie per boat, he'll be rolling by boat 2 .... ;D ;D


Cheers,

Count me in on this one fellas.Missed the lat one down the pin :'(
Wich way are you looking at heading out Skippa.I will probbably put in at Pinkenba and meet you out around the 4 beacons.Might even be a good excuse to head out for an overnighter on the Wed night ;) ::)
Cheers Dazza

Cheers Dazza

Hey Dazza, now ur talkin ;D not a bad idea, maybe a little mud overniter to start things off ;D
Just hope the weather holds for us this time, will make a definate decision a few days prior to Thurs (Aust day)

Mad, your welcome mate, on channels as Jase posted.


Cheers,
Tony 8-)

[bidkev]

I'm on at the moment depending on the deckie. She's rostered off but they're shutting Caboolture A&E as it has no staff and Prince Charles is taking the load. The deckie has been asked to set up the new ward and it's a rush job, so here's hoping her roster stays the same.

Launching at Nudgee 6am for the beacons, weather and shifts permitting.

kev

[skippa]

Be good to catch up again Kev. If your deckie has a roster change one of the '4 deckies' might be able to help ...... as long as u don't want us pull up a anchor or anything ::)

Work, wife and weather :-/.
Cheers, Jay

[bidkev]

I'm 90% there. Cheers, Jay

Fetch yer momma ;D

kev

PS which 10% are you leaving behind? ;D

[2DKnBJ]

I hope the 10% is the fishing gear.Every time Jay gets out in that neck of the woods he bloody cleans up.What hope have we got ;D
Cheers Dazza

PS Be good if you can make it out Jay

[Brejen]

Tony what sorta K's we lookin at bloke. Need to work out the fuel is all.

Are we going to do BBq or just like we normally do cold cuts, chooks etc. Doesn't bother me but prob easier than carting BBq's and gas bottles.

What we all think

Kev how's the deckies roster looking mate, hope she's off.

Jay howd you go with the other 10%; u find it and ask it to come as well.

Brett

O and Tony r u going to be on Shark duty at Tangas while we all snorkel. Seriously tho are we going to get eaten there or what. Gotta be some big sharks hang around there as well hey.

[skippa]

G'Day Brett,

Mate, without looking at the plotter, we're probably looking at about 50-60 miles (that's about 80-100Ks) That's leaving from Manly to roaming around the bay to Moreton and back to Manly. as far as the BBQ goes we can decide later, but I'm easy with the cold stuff .... Prawns again would be good ;D

Sharks, mate they're everywhere If you want me to watch you, no probs, if you're in trouble and want me to jump in after you, forget it.... :-? ;D

seriously tho I'd be more worried about being hit on the head by Coconuts coming outta Tangas bar...

Jay,

Maybe you and I could do a reconaisance before hand, just to check out the Cobes or something ;D


cheers,
Tony 8-)

[gawby]

Look out look out GAWBY will be out and about. :) :) :

Dont need to worry about fuel but brett betta bring a big tow rope for the klunker. Or maybe a lot of jerry cans ;D ;D ;D ;D

Prawns, chooks and salad nice and easy. ;)

I should've read this BEFORE the decision was made to rip the interior out of the Play-Pen!! We would've enjoyed catching up with you all again.

But the decision was made and the work has begun.

Ross says "This is what happens when you cart firewood for your best mates deckie" ;) :o

[Figjamm]

Cutting out the floor and checking the stringers is the next step.

A close up of the termite damage!

[bidkev]

<snip>Kev how's the deckies roster looking mate, hope she's off.

Brett

.

Yep, she's off, we're in (weather permitting)

kev

[bidkev]

He put those termites in there himself ::) ::) You know he's not happy unless he's finding something to do ;) ;D Obviously, sinking the rig didn't work then? :'(

Howzabout putting a progress thread in the boating section? It'd be sure to arouse interest.

kev

[Brejen]

Good stuff Kev. Looking forward to it.

Ross O no :-[. Love to see the progress myself keep us informed hey. How long was the fire wood in there :o .

GAWBY is the tow rope for the Stacer. She'll be right old boy you'll make it and we're all be there to help if YOU need us.

Better go get some more jerry cans i think ;D ;D ::) .

Brett

[gawby]

Hor hor hor you make me laugh ;D ;D ;D

Uhuh [smiley=bulb2.gif] how to get the missus to cough up the funds for some interior decorating, PLAN A?

And now that he's caught me at a weak moment, he's talking about some exterior decorating as well!! There goes the new freezer I was looking at! [smiley=bigcry.gif]

kingtin wrote: You know he's not happy unless he's finding something to do ;) ;D

Well it was on the "To Do" list, but it just jumped the queue :-)

kingtin wrote: Obviously, sinking the rig didn't work then? :'(

Oh it worked alright.... when he pulled the boat out of the shed on Saturday there were HUNDREDS of them crawling around on top of the carpet looking for somewhere else to hide! >:(

[Figjamm]

Ross O no :-[. Love to see the progress myself keep us informed hey. How long was the fire wood in there :o .


Okay, will try to take lots as pics and give an update now and then.

The wood was in the boat about 12 hours maximum, on a few different occasions.

Next step is an inspection by a mate who has worked in the pest industry. If they are a particular breed of termite the boat will have to be wrapped and fumigated before any further work takes place.

It's getting better all the time ;-)

Ha ha hardy ha! ::)

[madman1]

Looks like Team Madman is out :-/. I have a mate with a small tinnie who lives on Russell Island who wants to catch up on that day. Myself and WOOF and maybe a few other Ausfishers will be heading to Peel for a BBQ.

Dont want to rain on the Tangas parade but if the weather is no good and Peel is an option I will be leaving from the Manly / Wynnum circa 0630 - 0700. I am taking the BBQ so anyone considering the trip is more than welcome to make use of this facility.

Hopefully I will see some of you at the ramp.

Cheers


Mark

[Rainbowrunner]

weather permitting will see, the missus hasnt liked the last couple of trips home in 10-20knots, ::) ;D

[Brejen]

Kev Adam wanted me to make sure the kids where all comin as well. He had such a ball last time and is near beside himself waiting for this trip.

Love to see the kids hangin out to go for a trip in the boat. What it's all about

Brett

[longtail]

is someone bringing a tube to tow behind the boat ?, i've got ski hook's and my boat will pull a tube no probs. :D

just a thought ;D

jason

[skippa]

Jase,

I've got a Tube and a knee board, can bring it along. Even if we have to resort to plan B ( pissup at Brett's place again :)) we can put it in his pool ;D

Nah Plan B might have to be a Peel or Straddie trip... errr maybe down Blakesleys way tho.

Cheers,
Tony 8-)
PS Adam, might even b able to talk Karls into coming, never know ::)

[Brejen]

Tony the boy will be turning inside out for that 8-) . Bloody loved her didn't he ;D ;D ;D , thought he was 20 not 8 . Go son.

Wish i had a boat that could pull a tube.

Had 'em for years mate. I've only got a 40 gig hard drive and one of my dear little chappies has filled it with music (about 9000singles and 365 albums). Was looking at cleaning out some junk to make more room and found these pearls of wisdom that I used to attach to a newsletter. It's surprising what I found in "My Documents" :o :o I don't even recognise some of the stuff in there as being mine yet I've only had this computer 4 yrs. Amazing how our views and opinions can change in a short time ;D

At this stage it's only the misses and i going in a 18 foot 7 caribbean half cab so he is more than welcome to come with us if he wants.

I probably know him if he is old school islander anyways.

Cheers Darryl

[skippa]

No worrys Dave,

I'll wait untill Tues nite to post a 'Definate Plan' if anyone wants to tag along instead of going over on their own.

Cheers, Jay

[Brejen]

yea Jay,
I was just talking to Tony and he's going to put up a plan of attack Tomorrow night. Well see what the general plan is anyway, and get some numbers. Think he's looking at meeting at MAnly ramp at around 7ish.. then i got no idea really, leaving it all up to you boys that know the Bay.

Will meet up on Thursday. Looking forward to meeting a few new members.

Brett

[shano]

want to come along! but a bit worried about the size of my boat! it is 15 ft half cab with 60 hp on back! never done the tang trip but have wanted to , and have heard some bad stories! what do you think? boat is sea worthy motor is in fine tune!

[Darryl]

Couldn't see a problem with it shano. Just meet up with the others at Manly and go across with them mate.

[Fishinmishin]

The boat is more then capable taking you as far as the petrol allows. Just pick good days to take it a step further and when comfortable, take the next step. Two years ago I used to seriously think 'WOW...I'm at Peel island. It's like in the middle of nowhere way out here.'
If it stays at 15-20knot on thursday though, it won't be very welcoming for your 1st trip over there. If it's still on, I might have a spot free.
Cheers, Jay

[Darryl]

Yeah i spose i should have shut up :-/ But yeah i agree with jay in if it gets up around 20 knots it will be a bumpy ride over and back.

[shano]

yeah i agree , i have done many overnighters to peel and mud! and fished the artificial reef! but it has been the most 10-15~
have been stuck in my old boat out there when it got hit by 20-25! not nice!

[longtail]

the way seabreeze looks ATM i'm in 2 minds as i will have the kids in the boat. if it's anymore than 15 kts we'll be going somewhere else (not a pleasant trip with a 2 month old :-/)

of course seabreeze has been wrong in the past ::)

jason

[skippa]

Hey guys,

Weather predictions as follows (taken from their web sites 2nite 24/1/06):

Bouy Weather; 8-12k s/e - e in afternoon
Seabreeze; 8-12k s/e - e in afternoon
BOM; 15-20k s/e - e in afternoon

Tides Brisbane bar: high 6.55am 2.18 mt low 1.30pm .74mt allow -35mins for Tangas.

Based on above SS Southwind still a goer for Tangas trip Plan A. but if weather does blow out to Bom predictions happy 2 do Plan B to Peel?? or something. can decide Wed nite if u like.

Plan A: family day, not hard core fishing trip

Leave manly 7.00am
Head over to Moreton Sandhills, those with kids might want to climb sand hills great views alround. Others might want to stop at mud for a fish instead.
Cruise up inside Moreton, normally come across Dolphins dugons turtles etc on the way to Tangas, kids love this...
Some might want to stop at 4 becons for fish
Snorkel at wrecks optional, or just a swim.
Lunch on beach
Quick trip to curtain at low tide for fish, or some may want to just stay on beach.

Head home by mid afternoon, easiest to track back up inside Moreton for smoother ride and cross bay just north of sandhills coming back between hubers becon and green Is into Manly ( if that's where u left from).

How's that sound??

Plan B can be to Peel or Straddie and worry about details Wed nite if the Bom looks like being right ...
( for once ::))

I have 27meg and VHF: 27 on ch 91; VHF ch 73 call sign skippa ( what else)


Post if your in or intrested.


Cheers,

[madman1]

I will be on channel 91 27meg and channel 40 on tha handheld two way.

Call sign Half Tanked.

Will be at the RQ ramp circa 0730.

Hope to see some of you there.

Cheers


Mark

[shano]

looks like the weather will be crap tomorrow says the radio today! :'(
went across the redcliff bridge today at 07.30 and it was like glass! came back across at about 09.30 and the chop had started!

[WOOF]

I am also thinking Peel. Will be heaps of boats out tmrw but a swim, a few coldies and a laugh will cure the crowds.
Leaving Manly about 8am.

[Darryl]

I'm sure with the weather going the way it is Tony might go the plan b.

He will post no doubt when he gets home from work.

BOM has it at 15/20.

Seabreeze has it at 15.

ANd if people are going to bring there families to Peel but not Moreton it also sounds like the go.

But it's up to the Skippa himself i spose. So i will just shut up and go do summin. :-/

[Brejen]

Just spoke with the SKIPPA and he has a little power outage at Reddie bay.

Plan B it is.

Leaving from the Redland bay ramp at 7.00ish, head over to Peel, Horseshoe bay, somewhere in the S/E cnr i think he said. We are taking some shade thingys and will be set up there hopefully. He'll be on as soon as he can.

Well Guys,

With the BOM still predicting 15-20k's s/e-e winds and some boats having some very junior deckies on board, its best to err on the side of caution; we're all carrying our most precious cargo afterall.

So Peel it is, first stop Horseshoe Bay and with the s/e winds, best spot is the far s/e corner ( thats the end of Horseshoe nearest Straddie ;)) they will be a few shade huts and tarps, maybe a beach umbrella or two and a bunch of dodgie Haines with a smick looking Southwind to brighten things up, maybe a coupla tinnies too and the trusty carribeen of course.

I see some tubes and skis are being taken, should be good in the morning while the tide is still up and hopefully the winds at their weakest. There are toilets on Horseshoe, but only the drop style ones, so hang on to your littleys eh

A few sandies are being reported around the southern bay so if you have any pots it could be worthwhile.

Myself, I might have a flick around Peel chasing the tides and see how these Zooms go, or I might just veg out on the beach.... rods will be in the boat tho ;)

If your in that neck of the woods pop over and say G'Day, love to meet some more ausfisho's.

27meg ch 91 and VHF ch 73 call sign skippa.


one more sleep ....


Cheers,
Tony 8-)

PS if ya wanna checkout winds for Peel area log onto seabreeze, and look for banana banks beacon. Its only just s/w of Horseshoe.
