Hi all
I know there are a lot of fishing trips organised for this weekend, but I am going out on the big bad scary ocean on Saturday morning chasing some royalty - kingies.
Launch at 0530 from Gordon's Bay (Clovelly) ramp. Try and get some squid from the Bay then head mout to Wedding Cake Island and check for the water boiling and seagulls.
Wind will be 7Kn NE with .7mt waves. Increasing to 11Kn NE by 11am.
Short and sweet. But if we find the school, it will be on for young and old.
All welcome. Will have my marine radio and Shark Shield.
Cheers

Hi all
Parking at Clovelly is quite easy, especially at that time of the morning. Go right down Clovelly Rd until you get to the end. Drive towards your right and park at the end there. A lot of the diving schools park there as the ramp into Gordon's Bay is easily accessible. From the car park to the ramp is only about 300mts.
I have included a map that might help.
Start at 0530
At 0500 winds will be 7Kn ENE with a 0.8mt swell
At 0930 winds will be 10Kn ENE with a 0.8mt swell
I have fished in both conditions and they are still ok. Whether there will be any kingfish still around will be the million dollar question.
My mobile is 0401 527453. SMS me or call if anyone gets lost. I will be down there around 0500. We will try and get some squid in the Gordon's Bay area before we head out. Should be a good day.
Cheers

Sad to hear you can't make it, Wopfish. I guess you need to be perfectly confident and at ease being on the ocean. I wouldn't suggest going out unless I was 100% sure of conditions. Never mind, next time mate.
Will let you know how we went. So far we have Gatesy, Dave73 and myself. Hopefully the kingies will still be around tomorrow... :D
Cheers
