    FNQ Meet & Greet Queens B'day Long Weekend @ Cardwell

    After a show of hands at Mission Beach, it was decided to hold another M&G and this time it will be at Cardwell over the June Queens Birthday Long Weekend.

    So now its time to start thinking about it.

    Who's In????

    To the Mods, can you please Sticky this one, as it will be as big as our last M&G Thread, Many Thanks

    You know I'll be there, but another suggestion for location, how about Lucinda? just a short run out to the Palms, with plenty of reef for trout etc, shallows for popping up some big GT's.....aching to do that again, I'm going to destroy my reel on them, plus its a really high current area for the big spaniards.

    Thinking of heading back upto mission on Easter weekend too though. Might have to scrimp the pennies and splash out of a proper GT popping combo and get a stella.

    Lucinda is pretty good but for long weekends we need alot more time to allow for bookings as Lucinda's accommodation choices are alot less, whereas Cardwell has more than enough at short notice.

    At the first M&G we stayed at a cara park (forget the name) that's the first on the left hand side heading south, if it's still the same it has a water view licenced alfresco area, cabins, unit accom, and something more backpacker/worker style accom and of coarse camping also lots of room to park boat and car.
    Was nice sitting out the front with a view straight out at the water. The units also have water views.

    The great thing about a Cardwell M&G is the area is open to not only those with reef boats, 12 footers can have a ball in the channel. Lucinda even more so, but the cara park at that time of year is standing room only.

    I'm a big chance for the Queens Birthday weekend as i already have leave approved. The only way i won't be there is if my son makes rep football again as the NQ championships are played the same weekend.

    Pinhead grab a likely gaggle of tropical reef fish experience challenged Ausfishers, hop a plane to TV or Cairns. pile in a troopy hire car (or bus) and farm yourselves out as deckies for the weekend....or anything of the like.

    If the weathers fine enough the reef is a wondrous place to wet a line, up here IMO charters most often cannot hold a candle to a try anything go anywhere traditional reef trip.

    I might even consider going on a charter with Ryan Moody, he operates out of their and gets into heaps of cowboy nannygai.

    Scott..i was gunna head up there for the M&G on the QB weekend.
    Something different to do....me get on a plane??? Not bloody likely..I have run up and down the road flapping my wings and cannot take off..I was not meant to fly..I have had 12 flights..there will not be a No. 13..I hate the things.

    I was just thinking about the alcohol challenged ausfishers for a weekend chat and good time...fishing is just a side line.

    BUT...I won't head up near El Arish..I hear the locals are a bit odd there!!!!!!

    Air crash investigations is one of my most favourite shows, does nothing for the industry i am sure

    BUT...I won't head up near El Arish..I hear the locals are a bit odd there!!!!!!

    I have heard that when the locals all get together they do not agree
