Almost ready to roll

Well been a big build up for the yearly trip north.

 

As some of you know, we are spending 9 days at port gregory, then heading up to exy for the Fishwrecked comp spending 9 days up there too!

Port gregory we have 10 people - 2 boats, Exmouth 9 people 2 boats (mine and a 9m protector)

 

To say we are taking enough gear is an understatement!! worked out last night Scano, myself and a cousin or mine are taking 28 rods between the 3 of us, let alone anyone else!

Seems every 2nd day is another visit to the tackle store, im sure we have 250 lures, and 100 packs or plastics! We think it would have been cheaper for all of us to go to europe for 2 weeks!!!

 

Leaving frist thing Saturday, with the weather looking pretty good for Sunday, possibly to make it to abrohlos islands, but monday tuesday wednesday looking nice n windy!

 

Did get a quick report from someone who came back from port gregory 2 weeks ago, saying the water temp was a staggering 29 degrees!! and said they were bait casting mulies for mackies in some parts of the reef system. Tailor up around 5 kilos all too common, and some honker pinkys!!! Definitley enought o get my blood pumping!

 

Will put up a few photos along the way as well as try get one showing all the fishing gear we are taking, it really is rediculous!

 

See quite a few of you up in Exmouth, we arrive on the 3rd!

 

Cheers

Same here. I started getting gear together and the pile is getting frightening.
Just have to remember to leave room for beer.

Looks like you might need plenty of booze next week. Hope you get some decent weather- got me envious hearing of launching baits out the back of the reef and catching mackies. You might not need to go all the way to the islands.

 

Leave some fish for me - heading to PG in October for 10days.

just a little teaser for you guys,

 

A mate of many of us, Dylan got a 300lb Black Marlin this week in Exxy, his first bill fish and on his own boat. Nice way to break in his nice new Tiagra 50 as well...

 

So every man & his dog is in with a chance now for billies this season.

 

good luck
