I have made a folder with all attendees email address's in. I have pm'd some of you that I have no address for.

Once I recieve these, I will email you with certain stuff regarding 1770.

First up will be Hooks ?

I am about to bulk purchase hooks and would like to get numbers off anyone that requires ( certain ) styles. I will email you with details soon.

I know most of you can sort ya own stuff and usually do.

Thanks guys.

To give you an idea, I recieved ( last year ) 40kgs of fresh ( 8 hours old ) whole mullet for $3.00/kg. It was a good thing I was passing the area I picked them up from otherwise it was a bit of a drive and would have ended up costing about $1.50kg more.

The size ranged from 25cms to 40cms.

Before this ( about 3 years ago ) I used to regularly get " bruised " mullet fillet ( that is cut wrong and not ideal for public sale / display ) from a northside co-op for $1.00kg, it then went up to $2/kg.

For some reason mullet is getting dearer... a lot dearer. ????

Having said that, around Brisbane during the mullet run you can source it for $10/ 3kg.....fillets. I would be happy to pay that.

personally I want / need 20 -30 kg of fillets.

Timing is everything as the mullet run is over by the time the M & G comes around. Plan ahead


Cheers Phill

For interest, the local paper had a seafood ad for Mothers Day Specials at Out Of The Blue Seafood at Caboolture (behind the Sundowner Hotel)

Amongst other thing Whole Sea Mullet was advertised at $1.99 kg.

How does that compare to expectations?

[Lucky_Phill]

I would grab some of that now Darren. Fillet, salt and pack in freezer.

Thing is, you can wait to get better prices, but like last year, nearly missed out.

I think I have some sorted, but am awaiting confirmation. Price is similar.

OK, if that dumb kangaroo is OK, SO IS THE RED ENSIGN!!!

[kitty_cat]

tim 9/0 and 10/0 owners circles are our hook of choice mainly because they will fit the bigger leader through the eyelets with the panonosta rig but reef king?(greg) uses 9/0 ish gang style hooks (good ones just cant remember which ones but i know he has posted it on this site) so a few options there for hook choice, just make sure they are quality reds and big ajs will just kill them other wise

How many sleeps now?
