Exmouth F/W comp

Ok folks, the comp is getting closer, where is everyone staying so we have a better idea of where to look besides the launch ramps. lol. The skipper  (just dhu it) & i are staying in the lighthouse chalets, no not the honeymoon suites at the top haha. We have a grey Colorado towing a C/C trailcraft & should be there sunday night 25th March. If ya see us , come on over & say g'day, will be nice to put some faces to some names.

Have a safe trip up & be safe on the water.

cheers Rob

Mon, 2012-03-19 10:35

Looks like we've got some good weather coming, which means it should blow middle of next week and hopefully be good for the FW comp.  This time of year, who knows, but with the change of seasons and being up here for 2 weeks, theres a bloody good chance you will get some gooooooood weather.  Having said that, I've been known to jinx it before!  Look forward to catching up with you guys.

For those driving up overnight please keep an eye out for roos north of Wooramel roadhouse, when I came back up a week or so back there was plenty of fresh carcass's for about 40km.

Saw a lot of cattle at the road side 40km south of Carnarvon to also look out for.

Great advice Canarvonite. If Harro does not make it, i don't have a boat to fish off. Take it easy Harro and love the look of that weather for your arrival. Love how everyone is so pumped. Itching is an understatement. Seriously, hope you all have a smoothe ride up or down. My plane ride should be sweet.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

yep, i had a look at the ramp on monday.

It was a 1.3 mt low tide, when i was there it wouldve been well above that.

Saw the rocks at the bottom of each ramp.

Didnt look to be too much water on top of them and the bottom of the ramp.

 

Has anyone put in/out with a 7m boat on a low tide since the ramp was done ? 

cheers
