240kg Raggie!!!! Goeie donder! That's a flippin great fish! You got a pic? Love to see it!
Thanks for the report Wes. We've got high tide at Midnight, so we'll be fishing very late every night!!  :sadd
I know the other High tide at midday is like a graveyard so we'll maybe do Crayfish then...
Early morning, late evening is dead low tide... so that sucks a bit... Maybe do the South ledges then?

3 more sleeps....  :ayb

You guys must be excited already, lucky buggers
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles

Off any of the ledges at low tide. But the "Crayfish" we're talking about is Crayfish Point, a spot for fishing about 2kms south of the bay.

heard that there is lots of brown water around.
If the sw comes, things shoild clear up, but that would mean i get srewed on the north side.
So we are wishing, for opposite winds, we'll have too see who's wish will be fulfilled.................
Are you guys going to update the tread while there, or only when you return?

Yes I will constantly worry about the damn thing anyway

Bait bought.
Traces done.
Spoons buffed.
Tackle box packed and repacked. And will be repacked and checked again.

All that remains is collect my  :ult: shirt and cap and we are good to go.

Woza week-end  :happ:
