Hi Paff and Red

thought I would open up this post to discuss the Googong trip on the 19th. I am going to pencil it in and I am confident of a leave pass. has there been any thought as to time of day?

Hi Leigh, for me the 8am start would be best, I usally need to be home by noon as my wife likes to get out while the boy sleeps. Paff, what suits you?

 

[paffoh]

Oooohhhhh...... awesome 8)

8am start id say, I will bring Claire along or invite a friend to join me onboard ( but im sure Claire will be keen! ) or i may even go solo but one thing is i will be there with bells on... a 4hr yak would be sweet!

I have to go to my store on Sunday afternoons to help set up for the week, makes the working days so much easier ( Coffee Shop ), but anytime you wanna throw a BBQ im keen as mate... could do dinner anyway?

I dont have a valid NSW fishing license atm ( ours both expired yesterday! ) but will pick one up this weekend, Claire and i fished from the banks early winter this year a few times for zilch, now is the time to clock up some more Goldens and the reports have been favourable

Anyone else we can con into going?

[aleg75]

What do you reckon Ash, would the wife be interested in a similar option?

Red.

After checking with the wife she reminded my that we only have one car, she and Andy are not too keen to hang around Googong from 8am till luynch time.

Hey paff, which coffee shop do you own? I love a good coffee!

 

[paffoh]

Ooo ok, maybe ill get some on Claire's credit card!

We have only got one car and one drivers license ( I dont drive for some reason that constantly escapes me :? ) so worse case scenario for me is being dropped out with Claire returning for a Lunch affair or w/e... ill be down for w/e, w/e is cool

Pretty wide Red, 76cm's according to the specs, takes up the bars on the liberty no worries, I also live in Giralang, not sure how that places me for a lift?

I have no worries meeting you guys out there for a paddle though, leah has given me a leave pass with the car for the morning.

Sunday forecast - Fine, sunny. Min 8 Max 26

Chance of a frost on Thursday! brrr.....

Cant wait to get away from the Redfin, todays effort = very small!
( Taken on a Halco Poltergiest almost bigger than itself! )

Bring on Sunday...

 

[aleg75]

Hey Paff

Well you went better than I.......LBG Mid arvo, river mouth to the molonglo, few fish on the sounder, no bites......

Bring on Sunday!

Leigh, will just be me comming Sunday, where should I meet you guys? I have never been to googong before!

Ash

155cm total with both yaks. The Forester has around 130cm of roof rack space at a guess, so probably barely do-able, with some creative strapping and some padding. Let me know if you'd like to give it a go - .

Those combined beam figures are not at the racks Red.

When I have both yaks on top, at midships I have gunwales overhanging the van edge, however at the racks [mine are 135cms] I have space at both ends to use my straps because of the tapered hulls .

Between the boats a section of rubber exercise mat protects the load from rubbing

[aleg75]

Okay, I can see how to get there.

Left a message for you Leigh in your trip report from the South coast, about your GPS mapping abilities, want to know if you have a GPS, or do you have a conservative guess about your route?

[aleg75]

Nah, I pretty-much guestimate, based on landmark sightings. Google earth allows me to twist and turn the landscape around (and even shows mountains in 3d), which helps me remember.

I've used a GPS and computer in combination before, for security-related wireless wardriving scans, and found it to be a very cool toy.
If I ever find a nice hard-to-locate fish-producing reef on the south coast, I reckon it might be worth plonking some money down for one though - at the moment, I can get by with just dead-reckoning.

I think there's even a few GPS/sounder combos out there, with marine maps inbuilt. Probably a bit large (physically) for the yak though.

Red.

Thanks, you might have saved me some $$$, still thinking of one of the cheaper handheld GPS, some I have looked add you need to buy maps to add on etc etc......might start up a new thread about this......

 

[paffoh]

Be a good idea to do some lengthy research before you buy one Ash,
I cant speak for all brands but my old man has a garmin 76s and can even scan upwards ( Just in case you like to plane above the surface! ) and it has basic coast maps, buoys and the like built in and updateable at about $100 a map ( Still only showing the area of the coastal map you purchase ).

But for for $200 more ( $500 approx ) you can get one with all maps built in including all in-land lakes, rivers... everything!

Red : Claires comming as far as i know, cars getting serviced on Friday this week so should be running better than ever, she is a good little car!
The boat ramp Ash is basically were the carpark to the foreshores walk is located, speaking of carparks DO NOT leave anything valuable in your car... Some break and enters on peoples vehicles have occured over the past few years or so, bloody Mexicans south of the border! :twisted:

What else to discuss....hmmmm, Lure selection? ( Spinnerbaits / Jackalls / Pakrats? )

Muhahahahahahhahaha

 

[aleg75]

Yeah, in-land........you don't happen to know the model/make of that one?
