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

[blueline]

hey brett
if the weathers good i might get out next weekend, if i do i will give you a call, what chanel do you sit on?.

[levinge]

I'll be monitoring 16/22 on the VHF - Callsign "Hard Livin"

Hope to see you out there, taking Lynne, so that means she'll be knee deep in Mackerel, AGAIN.

Took her for a fish about 2 weeks back and she collared another nice Mack 14KG

She might hide the boat keys on me...

Best to take her as I know she's a Mack Magnet

[disorderly]

You are a lucky guy Brett..

I'd be so happy if my missus even showed a spark of interest in fishing...but mine hates it and goes nuts on a small boat in no time at all...she hates to even go crabbing...

And to top it all off your lady is actually good at it..brings home the bacon and probably cooks it as well...

All you have to do now is convince her to head out to the wider grounds and spend a couple of days fishing and exploring ...Take a leaf out of Dave and Nics book ...they catch some great fish and no doubt have an awesome time finding them...

I am planning a trip with Scott (FNQ) to bathurst head about the time of the M@G unfortunately..would love to get out with you fellas but I really need a good relaxing holiday so I will miss this M@G..

Have fun anyway and I hope the weather is kind enough for a reef trip...

Scott

Thanks Mate, enjoy your trip with FNQ, hope you bag out in short time and spend the rest of the break kicking back, sucking down a few cold ones and watching the world slowly go by.

I know you need the quiet time!!

Thanks Scott. We definitely have a great time when we are out on the water together. In our relative short time in NQ we have found more ground and caught more/better fish than we ever had in SQ. I think being faced with not knowing anything in terms of where to fish has forced us to pay more attention and work harder than we ever had before.

Enjoy your trip to Bathurst Head. I've been up Weipa way (various areas off the beaten track) a few times and loved it. Would also like to get to Bathurst one day too. Perhaps an opportunity for a remote M&G I look forward to a report with lots of pics!

Regards,
Dave.

hey brett
weather looks good atm, about 5kts in the morning and picks up to about 15 by 2 pm, but seabreze says saterday will be the best day.

[Richard]

Yeah Saturday is looking like a cracker.. about time too.

[blueline]

hey richard are you going out this weekend?. looks like i may have to work sat, but on sunday i may take the kids around the islands for a run, i'v been promising to take them for some time now.

[Richard]

Yeah going to try and get out Saturday somewhere, maybe out down through the Russel Mulgrave.

I've only got a small tinnie (4m edgetracker) so bit hard to go further but going to go around the headlands if the weather is good.. or maybe double island. only relatively new to cairns so still finding my way

[blueline]

make sure to take some crab pots it looks good in the russel,whent there for the first time 2 weeks ago for the barra comp. out the front or even the islands should be good, there geting the dogys atm (school macs) out the front of here (innisfail) and also some spanish so you may do allright.

I was out today off Cairns and it was very good. It was a little bumpy when I poked my head around Fitzroy in the morning but as the day went along it only got better. I came home (38Nm) at full noise which is about 75km/hr.......Great day and yes, Saturday looks good so I will be heading out again though a little wider if the weather was anything like today........Oh, also have a lovely visit from our friendly Fisheries Officers and had an enjoyable chat (the good type).........
