Darren and I arrived at the Viccie Point ramp around 4:30pm just after the storm went through so we missed it. Conditions were unbelievable after the storm, flat ! and stayed that way all night Conditions were better through the night than today as the Piccies show.

We fished the nothern end of Peel for a heap of undersize squire, a few sting rays, a turtle and a keeper Mosses Perch. Fished untill midnight before heading around to the eastern side to get some shut eye. Woke up around 5ish and after a quick cuppa tried Rainbow Channel for no luck so back the peel and then Couchie still no luck Dropped 5 pots of on the way out yesterday and check them this morning couldn't catch any keeper crabs either.
Thanks for the ride Dazza and good to catch up with a few regulars and meet a few new ones as well. Cheers to Mike for running the show.

Damo.

PS: the trophy reel has gone straight to the pool room

chrub1 ( Callum) with crabs, a worthy winner of the perpetual Yabbie Pump trophey ( thanks Craigie for looking after it for the year and polished nicely) last year squid, this year crabs... next year?? Remember Callum, it comes back next year with a polish.

Brooke: took home a rod and reel and a tackle box full of goodies, outfished Lucky Phil, enough said and had the Pinyarta sussed.

2DKnB (Dazza's) son also took home a tackle box full of goodies, he was fishing off the rock wall while we where talking,,

Well what a great weekend. Big thanks to Mike, Vic Pt VMR, food and prize donators and all Ausfishers that made there way there.

This was my first fishing trip since the ekka holidays when I went up to Noosa, So I was very keen to get out and have a bit of fun, rain hail or shine I was going to be there, Actually it did rain, hail and shine. I left Vic Pt around 11 on sat morning, with only 4 cars with boat trailers in the car park launching the boat and finding a park was a breeze.

Fishing side of thing I got a catfish, and a whiting. But what saved me in the end was the crab pots, putting the pots down the side of Macleay, scored 6 keeper sandies, with 20 undersized, and 2 female muddies that swam away.

Weather side. Well I am sure you all copped the short lived storm on sat arvo. It sure was fun on the south eastern corner of Macleay Island. It was a wall of white. The rain was thick and hard, the wind blew the bimini half off, the strikes of lightning were bright and explosive and the thunder was quite loud, and my knees and hands swear there was hail aswell. All good fun as straight after the storm the weather and conditions were perfect.

So as new owner of a shiny brass yabby pump, I will do my best to keep her looking good and shiny for next yrs winner, last yrs winner was a squid, I won it with crabs, I wander what next yrs winner will be!!!!

Yes it was a good day although i didn't fish. Put a few more names to faces.

How funny was the pinata bashing,,,,some of those kids gave it hell.

Thanks to all who organized the day. Hope the VMR got some well needed funds.

It's a JEEP thing you wouldn't understand!!!
NEITHER DO I.


With a few setbacks on the way to the ramp Damo and myself were greeted by glorious conditions after the storm.As Damo has said we basicly tried everywhere and various methods of trying to catch some fish but the big ones didn't want to play ball.

A big thanks to Mike for organising another top M&G and to everyone that donated food and prizes.Without these people events like this would not be as good as they are.
A special thanks to the crew at VMR Vicky Point for allowing us to use their facilities.

Good to catch up with a few of the regulars and put a few more names to faces.

Greg.
You are more than welcome to use any pics with Blake and Jordan.

As a side note if anyone is in need of a deckie get in touch with Damo(Black Rat)
he is a great bloke and a pleasure to spend time on the water with.

Cheers Dazza

When-ever you want Janine......
.......can we have gingerbread reindeers please

Thanks for all the pictures of the kiddely winks.
The looks on their faces was priceless when they're bashing the green stuff out of the donkey-on-a-rope and when they're given their rod/reel.
Actually Paul's young fella scares me a bit. I'm never going to upset him....he's downright scarey with a stick in his mitts.
Heaven help us if he ever gets his mitts on Webby's Wonder Whacker.

And Phil look out for Brooke...she knows what to aim for. She gave that donkey one hell of a swipe to the voice box that it'll never forget.

And I missed saying gidday to Oldboot ....where were ya??
At the next do you'll have to speak up matey.
I'm easy to find.... Just look for the fat fella with no hair
