thanks for them marks Marty, the ones on North Gardiner's will always give you a great feed

the only time I have gone to the South Gardiner's we got drenched from the rain, smashed by the sea, blown away by the wind and couldn't get two lb's of lead to the bottom in 60m of water = no fish so smashed and bashed our way back (4.75 tinny) to North Gardiner's and caught a nice bag of fish

keen to give South Gardiner's a go again this year

Fellas,
I am happy to try and organise a day out together. I know the blokes that catch the winning fish just dont stummble across them so maybe a team effort down the east coast of fraser is the go? Safety in numbers as it can get wild down there. I have on good account this is the area to fish.

Fellas,
I have 16 blokes coming up with me, most arnt big fisherman especially if it blows up a little. I have a 6.2m boat not huge but can handle slightly rougher weather. if you are keen I am happy to venture far and wide. Bait fuel supplied just bring a sense of humour.

Hey marty only my first trip to fraser and I'm towing up my boat shes only small 4.5 m but i get out to caloundra wide around 20mile offshore regularly no dramas. I have also crossed the noosa bar 100s of times I imagine the gutters would be simillar I know my limits and on a good day I would be keen to follow you guys out I know my days out will be limited so I am keen to make the most of my chances any more tips you can give me would be appreciated i.e tackle any dos and donts anything you can help with. P.S. I will be staying in the xxxx sponsors house so a couple of beers for your help shouldn't be to hard to organise. Cheers Brendan

Hi Marty,
How early do you need to be there to get a camp site?

thanks,
Fish Two

[Captain Seaweed]

You will get a campsite if you get there on the Friday but not if your in a big group it will be a little hard. If your in a small group you should be right but be prepared to have to camp on a slope or squeezed between a few campers.
