ok guys

a few of us were chatting at bridport the other day and decided we need to have a tasrollaclub fishing trip

 

we were thinking cruise somewhere fish, camp the night, fish some more then head back

 

so lets branstorm some places with decent camping spots etc

(si can edit this if any extra info can be added)

for dates we can either have it in winter or in spring :\

 

Spots so far:

Swimcart Beach (binnalong bay):

very good beach for fishing, has a drop straight off the beach and is insanely deep within a few metres off shore,

has good camping areas etc will need a surf road though if you want to fish here :hmm:.

also note if u can't fit a surf rod in ur car it can go in the panelvan ;)

 

cheers

;) You guys really don't know how much I like my fishing!!! I was thinking about bringing a rod down to Bridport for a half hour flick but didn't want to be anti-social! ;)

 

I could suggest a lot more spots around the state, but I think you're pretty well spot on the money there mate! :hmm:

 

In terms of a time frame frankly I think Spring may be better for a couple of main reason:

1, It'll just be too damn cold for camping/night fishing (we can't NOT try and catch sharks!!!) during winter

2, We can set a date (maybe even on a long weekend) waaaay in advance. This way everybody knows when it is and has ample time to arrange there self with time off work, other commitments etc.

3, I'm not holding my breath but Mud might be finished by then!!

 

Oh, and anybody who keen on surfing don't forget to bring a board as there is some pretty good waves out there too!

.....or you can paddle out some shark baits! :P

 

We could also make a bit of a cruise of the trip too. Say head out via Sidling/Scottsdale/NE to St Helens (will have to calm down on the sidling with cars loaded with camping gear though) and then return through St Mary's/Conara.

 

So what I want to see from everybody now is:

1, Suggestions of other spots we could go - Binnalong is in no way set in stone!

2, Suggestions on possible dates during Spring.

 

Personally later Spring would probably be a bit better for me. For anybody who doesn't know yet Katie and I have our first rug-rat dues in mid August (if anybody's been wondering what my avatar is) so I better not take off fishing and camping too soon after that.

 

Cheers,

Si.

Thats not a fishing trip Strugey!! ;)

 

I'll bring: 2 piece Surf rod maybe 2x, 6.5' 1 piece bait rod, 7.2' 1 piece procoster, 6.5' 2 piece Tierra and maybe a couple of "squid rods" for good measure! :hmm:

 

Anyone got a shark line? hehe

lol fish through the day then get some squid that night :hmm:

And plenty of beer.......

 

And rum!

anyone got a 20' boat because all i got are game rods with big setups

 

by the way if anyone is interested in buying game rods i will sell

don't need surf rods to catch a decent flatty or salmon can't beat the old silver wobbler spinning on the beach

fishing sucks, is boring as bat shit lol

ur face is.

wow what a come back sturgey....... wish i was that cleaver.....

 

Yeah fishing is boring, ill tag along for a cruise, but will head back later in arvo or something. Wanna have a cruise afterwards Aaron? back to your place then i can make a trip home through the Frankford hwy..

haha you guys just think its boring cause you never catch anything!!!!

 

Bet you'd change your tune with a mako (hell even a bream) on the other end of your line!! :wink:

no idea what a mako or a bream is, so I'm still classing it boring :wink:

 

Me and Aaron can knock back a few cans and watch you others try to catch something :lol: :hmm:
