Xmas Hols, where will you be ?

[Lucky_Phill]

I know it's a tad early to be thinking of the Season to be Jolly.

BUT !

I have already booked my accom at Hervey Bay.

I'll be there from 29th Dec for a couple of weeks. Just wanted to know if anyone else is up that way at that time ( apart from mackmauler, I know you 'll be there abouts ), and maybe we can put a trip together up the inside of Fraser, or better still, throw down a couple of coldies !

Now, if you're not going there, can you put a good word in for me with the Big 'G" to stop those mongrel N/W'rs at that time of the year.

Cheers Phill

Phill, You little ripper!! Really cool of you to invite the lurkers who inhabit this site to stay with you. I'll PM you my preferred times.

PS. I drink Cascade Light

[Fitzy]

Not sure Phil,
Have one young lass has invited me away for 10 days then (she obviously has impecible taste ). Think she has north in mind so I'm hoping its at least Mackay or better. Might have to slip a travel rod & a few lures into the suitcase before going.

How many more sleeps?

Fitzy..

[jaybee]

Got to have a shot ere Fitzy u gettin ya cababilities mixed up with ya ambitions ??? yep its a question

Me? Never Jaybee. It's all a matter of expert rod work to land a good one once they're hooked.

'nuff said. Better wind in before I get any more bites!

fitz..

[jaybee]

[Fitzy]

Cheers,

I've got a week over Xmas itself where I 'll be staying at Dickie's Beach Caloundra. I'll be taking the jetski and trying to hunt down some macks on the troll out the front. Might as well .

Looking forward to February. I'm heading to Tassie for 3 weeks and plan to walk the highlands for 7 days by myself walking and fishing from one stream and lake to another. No one but me and the fish - can't wait. Even getting refreshers in the art of chook chucking.

Going to Tassie (Launceston, head down south west then across to Hobart), flyrod in hand, maybe a small spin outfit too.
Not the best fly technique but I'm sure I'll get there eventually. Took some lessons at Launceston lakes last year, caught a small rainbow then spent the rest of the day untangling my tippet.
Been practicing my roll cast in the pool, caught the carport a few times!
Tried local rivers up here in Townsville but seems the banks are a bit steep and shrubby for my backcast. Only have 6wt (k-mart kit - gift) so I don't want to risk it on the queenies/barra, I've played around the Lakes with it but I think I'll save it for the fresh.
Its the time out that counts.
I'll be in Hobart when the yachts come in.

[Lucky_Phill]

I don't remember inviting you to stay with me Peter....we'd never get any fishing done ??? . Between you me and JD, ( yes JD ), we'd talk a lot about doin it.

Seems like you've used the right lure this time Fitzy !

Walking the Hills of Taswedjua, Brett ? Rod in hand and no-one around............me thinks you have other things on mind. At least Garry has a ' friend ' to hold his rod ! 8)

What I'm hoping to achieve this year at H/bay, is dong the Spotties , now that the ringnetters have been banned. With a bag limit of 5 and 'mackmaulers' secret slug combos, I'm sure to be a first class " Catch & Release " Ausfisher by the time a get back to Brisvegas.

Cheers Phill

[mackmauler]

Phill, there is a few pre chrissie visits on the cards, bugman leading the charge and 8 weeks to go for me, will be interesting to see if the netters are still there as i understood they can still use nets for other species... camera will be ready in any case

Rob

[flytime]

Hi Rob,
Yes the netters are still there .They were netting the lower part of the straits, the flats off kauri ck a month ago.There were 5 boats with nets in them when i went past
Regards Steve

[Lucky_Phill]

What type of netters Steve ? maybe they were the Whiting boys ! Jeez, if they were ring netters, that'd be worth a phone call. and that number would be 1800 017 116
