Rockhampton and Cap Coast Ausfishers!

[harry_h01]

I will come down to the ramp on Saturday morning to catch up with everyone.

I am unable to come out to the island as the house of hormones rules for that weekend, and the Gladstone Dance Festival is on the agenda.

But it will be good to catch up and put some faces to the names.

Station Point is relitively 'open' to the north so watching the weather prior is especially handy in getting a good weekend .. I've been up there just twice and had a ball both times, but know a few guys who regularly go up from Gladstone and generally brag about all the filleting that they do.. Getting there from Rocky direction would be via Port Alma and then heading NE accross to Sea Hill and onto Stn Pnt..From Gladstone we generally drive up to Ramsey's Crossing (at the higher end of the tide)and head nth through the Narrows to Sea Hill..Roughly about 27klms..Once arrived, there is plenty of beach to pull up on. When the boat is high and dry, the rocky outcrops can produce some good flathead to name a few. Plenty of whiting have also been caught recently.. Camping is very basic with just the beach and what ever you bring (and take back) as there are no facilities what so ever.. This may not be to everyones tastes but for the adventurous ones it is certainly one to remember for a future trip. We're going up this weekend (weather dependant) so i'll take some pic's and post them later.. As far as boat size, in good weather a mate comfortably takes his 4mtr tinney with no problems at all. Other that, I've been wanting to get down to Hummock Hill for a while so that'll get my vote..

I posted this up on Sunday night but it seems for whatever reason it didn't make it or collapsed during the maintenance last night.

It seems that there are not many of us who are keeping this alive by posting regularly, and as time is ticking away I think we all need to know something definite. So...........as most seem in favour of option 2 - Saturday 1st April - drive to Tannum Sands - secret boat ramp - followed by 15 minutes pleasurable cruising to Hummock Hill Island.......that's what we will do!
Details explaining access to the ramp, vehicle security at Dean's (thanks mate) etc, will be posted in the coming weeks.
Watch this thread!!!
Harry, is there any chance of you being able to join us for a while at some stage over the weekend???
Anybody out there who would like to join us we would all love to have you and share some stories over a few coldies and a raging fire!! All are most welcome.

Cheers
Dave
P.s. Work necessitates my presence in Brisbane until Friday evening so I won't be back to this until Saturday.

DAve, I replied back to your original post but it too seems to have disappeared. The weekend of April 1st unfortunately will exclude me from being able to attend due to a work function that i must attend in Mackay on the Saturday night. Its a damn shame as i have been keen as mustard to get down to Collosseum for quite a while now. DNO, i will have to get you to lead me down there one weekend soon that we both have free.

Cheers

[Pash67]

Myself and son Jack are planning to be there. Looking forward to it.

Also keen to get up to Sea Hill/Station point one day. Haven't been there for over 20 years. Keep me posted Stork71.

Hope you have the boat packed the same as last trip Dave. I will have the camera ready this time

[DaveSue_Fishos_Two]

I was hoping you'd be in Adrian!
Sounds like it will be a great weekend, weather permitting of course.

I will keep in touch with everyone through this thread and throw up some times and ramp details over the next week or so.

Cheers

I'm off to Milbrodale in NSW on that weekend for the Tuff Truck Comp, so this puts me out. But keen to do a trip up to Station Point or even Sea Hill in the near future. Looking at selling the big boat soon so will have to do a decent trip before that happens.

Bought my new tent today

It's a 2 room dome type tent - 10 mins for the wife to get it set up

The weather had better play the game though, I am copping plenty at work about having the nerve to take my first Saturday off since christmas. I don't want to miss out
