even better because after a days diving and a couple of coldies, I wouldn't want to keep the kids awake practicing my sn/roaring! :2 z Z:
Right we can camp here for nothin. Its a triangular section with the point being the clear bit on the tight bend of the road and fanning out across the creek and up the other side to the farmland.
Without trying to work it out i would guess 3-5 acre ?
Only downside i can see is its a bit of a trek to the coast.
Where the hand on the screen is.

What say yous?
Looks like a sweet wee spot. Might be a bit of a drive to set cray pots. Then again free accomadation is fantastic, great place for the kids. When It comes to diving we will be at the coast for the day.
Me I'm keen.
your thoughts please team.
At our place.

1st weekend of march..will post dates. Hope to work in with Vietnamcam so cost for accomadation will be a donation for a bottle or two for the land owner.
Save your $$$ for the roar guys, The young folk have hit kaik's again and the crays are thin on the ground (well for the shore divers any way). It my suggestion we save our $$ for a more productive time, say later in the year.
As happened last year crays were harder to pick up after xmas and taking this plus the roar following closely behind this trip I would think that we would be better leaving this trip till later in the year. The young blokes are no amatur's to this area and when they are struggling to secure a good feed I wouldn't want to invest others time and $$ for a non productive trip.
Add this to the fact I'm hemeraging $$ at the present (kids, truck, house). I would be struggling to make it down at all myself.
Sorry to let you guys down, but I would rather make an honest call and postpone rather than dissapoint.
Stingray.
was goin to bloody tricky for us to make it anyway.
Later sounds good to me, hopefully be right to join in the fun by then too.

Whole kit so far less than $200, most expensive the weight belt and weights. What else should I look out for?
Will look out for better fins to use with boots.
some kind of cooking device and beer cooling device would be handy.Quote:

What you need is a good bugger with some handy spots,:) not a couple of cheeky buggers taking the piss ( made me laugh though) :mouse:
Gadget your sorted, grab 30 - 40ft of hardy line a float and a cheap sack or catch bag. The rest is diving time.
Welcome to our world!!!
Think I could easily rummage that gear out of the garage. Have floats, para cord, builders line, heavy braid, ... Might look out for catch bags.
Do you use a dive flag?
You want cord or thin rope that not tangle and not soak up water , dive flag not used normally . Have only seen them in shops but never in use . Orange float seems to be the norm . Can get them with a wee mast and flag on top . I'm guessing not used as they would be sure to get stuck in weed and bull calp , rocks etc .Quote:

also get a measuring device of some sort,
And an ikki stick thingie . I made mine ss spike to kill your fish . Hangs under my float . Don't want fish attracting bigger fish :O_O:. Also a spear gun ! They are just cool
Never never ever fire a speargun on dry land. Tried it once. When the spear reached the end of the line (I was further from the grassy bank than I thought) the spear came flying back at a phenomenal speed :wtfsmilie::whut:
When's the next trip then guys?

And ya'all make sure you know about the new rules regarding "tail clipping your catch" MOF are heavilly enforcing it at the moment. Was there monday / tuesday and they were having fun at the ramp
I'm away for a week white baiting on the coast 4th to 11 October . Pretty sure that's it for me as in commitments . Can do it after then give me time to catch a feed of bait for the troops :P. Stingrays got his finger on the pulse on crayfish activity so maybe he can make the call on when can be good ?
WTF does that mean Mikee? no doubt people who catch crays know but I have never heard of it.Quote:

Ah I see the old no quota commercial fisherman trick.
yeah apparently local resturants were none to happy about the change neither.
You can read between the line there I guess :D

Is that similar to piscatis?Quote:
