A coupla trips here, because that's what the paddlers want and "akff always delivers the fishy livers!!"

Friday - If anyone else is interested in riding Scott's snappy coat tails he's kindly playing tour guide for us northern tourists around Mornington tommorrow. Start is 4.45 am (gotta hate this time of year just before daylight savings kicks in).

Sunday - Destination is up for grabs, but I'm thinking a Chelsea bash. I think Kevin's back by then, so may be our general to organise us rabble. I guess we can refine this one closer to Sunday.

Any interest? :wink:

Who in their right mind gets up in time for a 445 fish in mornington? Lets see, it'll take 45mins to 1hour to get down there from Melbourne (3.45) , allow 1/2 hour to set up (3.15). Also need to leave 1/2 hr to get up and load the car (2.45, say 2.30 to be safe). I actually have the day off tomorrow and I'm feeling desperate - so, could be tempted. Its still early and I might come to my senses by this afternoon - will let you know.

I'll struggle to do Friday, but I wish I could :roll:

As for Sunday.....Chelsea would be great for me (2 mins from home), but the 'Round the Bay in a Day' cycling event is on Sunday - there are heaps of electronic signs about on Nepean Hwy suggesting to 'Seek alternate route' on Sunday.

I'll try and find out some more about exactly what roads will be closed, and when.

Good luck on Friday gents, rumour has it there's an 80cm fish at Mornington who likes to eat plastic

 

[ScottLovig]

What's off Chelsea and how deep?

Cheers

Scott

Nevermind -

Good luck out there

Scott, Kevin has done well in 16-20m well out off Chelsea (4-5km), I think this area has a mixed rubble bottom and mud. I know a small reef in much closer (10-ish metres, 1-1.5km offshore), but it's a little early in the season. Give it a month or so and this whole area will go off for pinkies of an evening (not that you need any help in that department )

 

[Y-Knot]

G'day Jason,

so will you be fishing Chelsea once the pinkies are on the bite???

Tony

 

[Squidder]

Oh yes......most calm nights I'll be aiming to get out for a few hours

 

[Y-Knot]

sounds good... 8)

 

[Rod L]

Poddy,
You're a BAD man! :twisted:
Tempting me like that is not nice while I'm sitting at work thinking about Scott's 80cm almost snapper.
Sat am forecast looks to have improved with 5-10kt winds predicted for the morning.
Anyone up for that?

 

[Squidder]

Ooh, ooh, pick me!

 

[Mushi]

i'd be up for some sat morn action too. The other days I'll probably have to miss. I wouldn't mind trying a reef thats in 8-9m, 200m or so out from the green marker at the top of the marine park. However, im easy on location

 

[Y-Knot]

i dunno Rod,
squiddy hows the misses looking for a fish on sat morn , surely she must be tired afetr running last weekend... probably no intrest in fishing sat morn :wink:

 

[Squidder]

Tony, she's got a session with her personal trainer Saturday morning......the Venturer is yours if you want it :wink:

 

[Y-Knot]

oh yes please :lol: :lol: :lol: , much appreciated - i'll have to send that personal trainer a slab mate.

Rod, if squiddy is up for it you can count me in on that sat morn session.

you bloody beauty 8)

 

[Milt]

I'm off to sunny Canberra to have lunch with Redphoenix so I'm a no go.

Milt,

 

[Squidder]

Have fun in Canberra Milt, we will miss you

Tony (and others), Saturday morning looks like a goer at this stage, an early start is in order I reckon, who's up for a 5:30 launch? :shock:

Saturday
West to northwesterly wind of 5 to 10 knots increasing to 15 to 20 knots during the morning, then tending west to southwesterly at 15 to 25 knots during the afternoon. Waves to half a metre, rising 1 to 1.5 metres during the day.

Sunday
West to southwest wind of 15 to 20 knots tending southerly at similar strength. Waves to 1 metre.

 

[PoddyMullet]

Squiddy-a-mango...I'll see how I go for a back to back aswell.

RodL, your spot on I am a bad man....but you'll get your chance to help me mend my ways when I ring ya upon getting up to leave for Mornington tommorrow morning. I'll bet that's a mobile that'll be turned off tonight.

PhillipL, sorry mate I left location out but it'll be Sunnyside Beach Car Park off Sunnyside Rd just north of Mornington if ya do make it. I'm planning on getting up half an hour before I go to bed :roll:

 

[hoit]

Gee you can't half tell snapper season is just starting.

Milt, what are you doing booking trips to Canberra :roll:

I'm in for Saturday morning. Are we doing Ricketts or chasing the big ones down at Mornington.

Regards
Grant

 

[PhilipL]

Don't wait up for me at Mornington.

I'll probably be in for Saturday as well
