Brett,
Yeap, whilst also keeping in mind, fishing locations and accommodation .....with also the thought of grabbing possible interest from ppl further nth (Townsville).
Thank you for expression of interest.
Fishin_Dan,
Thumps and I spent our wedding night at the Clarion on the Mackay Marina, fantastic place to stay, I did however thought to myself that seeing some of those boats just sitting there, unused, a little bit of a waste, certainly when you can see the fish schools
if the wheather is good and I am available I will be there
what about seaforth 5 creeks, 7 islands within 2 miles and the smith group for anyone wanting to go out and it does not really matter what the wheather is as long as it is under 20kn, lots of camping grounds and a motel thats not dear.
Seaforth could be an alright place but if you are planning it for any peak period (eg. easter) then forget it unless you want to get there a week early to set up your tent.
The seaforth area could be good though as it offers a lot of options for a wide range of fishing.
Anyway, we'll see what happens but at this stage count me in..
Other than Easter I'm a chance and not only do the best crabs come out of Repulse Bay....so do the best barra/King Salmon/Grunter/Blue Salmon.
Great option as if it is calm the cape and islands can be easily "got at "for Black Jew, Mackrel and reef fish & if its "blowin' its tits off" you can still fish Prossy river the the creeks. Conway has basic accom at the van park, cabins and camp sites (already booked for Easter), and then...worse come to worst...there is always Airlie Beach...where you can always pick up the odd "deck hand"....as long as you can speak swedish!!
Suggested itinerary.
Arrive Friday night....set up camp and have a famil in Airlie.....bed by..say 4am.
Fish Saturday from 6am....10 am for those who REALLY enjoyed the "famil"
Saturday night...Chilli Crab Night...I'll cook
Sunday...who cares, followed by ANOTHER famil of Airlie...just to practise your forgien laungage skills............swahilli is fine after 10pm.
Monday.........I REALLY hate Monday's.
The definition of GAMEFISHING.............telling your missus you are going fishing with your mates in Airlie Beach!.......on her birthday.
The definition of TACKLE.........what your wife does to you as you walk out the door when she has just learnt you are going fishing with your mates to Airlie Beach.
There is 8 acres of camping grounds, a bowling club and 2 stores. Kinchant dam is 40 minutes drive and Prossy dam is 1.50 hour's drive. The Newry Islands are all National Parks and safe boating.
Easter Weekend, though a time traditionally set aside for camping and fishing, it appears that some of us can't make it around this time, also, everyone man and his dog has the same idea and accommodation is a little thin.....(not to mention, that in my experience of camping Easter weekend, from when I was a kid till now, it has rain 9 time out of 10).
So which weekend shall it be? (Need time to put the ‘time off’ request to boss and also work out if daughter, “The Boss” is with the “sperm donor” (her father and my ex).
Using WTides to try and find the best dates and tides to fish with-in/on dates and location mentioned. In the Seaforth area, it gives Scawfell and St Bees Islands as graphical markers/readings. Which would be the better one to go by?
