I think it sould be end of June, as a few struggled with fish as the water temp seemed a little high for the bottom species,

end of june would be better temp wise, we would be there depending on our new venture, would be good to make it an anual event

i would suggest the end of may early June then the long weekend could be picked up as well, this year was the first time in early may we have experienced such warm temps , the later you go of course you will end up missing days out should the weather chop up,  (my 20 cents)

exy for sure

however i think end of june is a pretty bad time of year for the nor easters / easterlies up here

couln't make this years due to injury but I am interested nonetheless.

Can never guarentee the weather but there are always options available but May/June sound good or August.

If it goes annual then I suggest an organising committee to spread the workload evenly instead of just a few.

Is two days enough?

Yes to a yearly comp(Exmouth was great)
but how about different place each year ie-:
kallbarri
Dunsborough
albany
Dongara
Jurin bay
Shark bay
carnarvon
gearldton
this way more people can make it as a weekend trip
different place every year

Regards Geoff

Or even a Perth comp????

aimed at social comps for members to meet and greet so stay tuned and anyone else welcome

ooh sounds good damo

We normally do have a perth comp each year and a river comp wich is good for the guys who cant make it to Exxy.

Oh Oh Shot Gun Adams couch. Yes I beat Gully to it this time haha.  Also Kalbarri comp is a good option aswell. You can do that in a long weekend aswell.

Cant say i can remember a river comp for FW (swan river??)
Perth comp has been nth v sth??(metro only)
happy to held with organising any events

Regards Geoff

I can organise the Exmouth one, if you guys are keen.  I can put up dates and do a vote to see who wants when and go with the majority. 

Comp's elsewhere are a little difficult for me, I can assist but can't do much and wont be able to make them with work commitments. 

Put up some dates Adam as you said and I'm sure we will organise ourselves round what suits.

Yep Damo and I have been silently working on a South West comp. and all going well we will have some more info soon, ... Stay tuned.

it was good this year, next year should be even better I reckon. Hopefully a few more people make the trip.

One should think about the tides for next years comp,weather it be May,June or July make sure it is around the full or preferably the new moon,

is the new moon but does that fall in the school holidays

it would be good to catch up with a few of you guys.

Im going to Dirk hartog 17th - 24th April.

Planning on going to exxy for a week after. Would be good if it comes close to the comp dates to be there at the same time!!.

Towing the boat upto Denham then over to dirk hartog.

Only 6 hrs from Kcity towing the boat. I think the idea of a fishing comp is great everywhere, but Exxy is such a Mecca that everyone would like to go to, even us boys and girls from up this way.

Yep i agree  exxy 2010 sounds great. We were lucky enough to be there this year when the motley crew rolled into town. Managed to sneak in under the radar & hav a few bevies with some of them at the lighthouse caravan park & enjoyed talkin to them, a nice bunch of people.  It would be great Adam if you could get the ball rolling for next year, i for one with my skipper will be most interested in it. Perhaps, as a suggestion, it could incorporate the june long weekend. That way the comp could be spread over 3 days instead of 2 allowing for possible unfriendly weather. Or finish lunch time on the monday culminating in a barby/presentation evening on the last nite. Like i said just a thought. No matter what happens like i said i will be keen as to participate.   Deckie.

Im definately in for Exxy next year. As for the river comp I might be wrong it might have just been a Fishwrecked day out rather than a comp. My bad

Here it is guys...

Complete with GT popping from near the Burswood.

Can people put foward the dates which best suits them for next years comp so I can put them into a poll.

I will definately be up in Exmouth next year so should be able to run it without a problem.  Let me know guys so we can start getting it moving.  The only thing I will have potential conflict with is the Barra Nationals or work, but will hopefully be able to get the time off with early notice.

Cheers,

Adam

fingers crossed we will have our staff well trained by then *LOL* 

25th or 26th or 27th april would be sweet as to start it off.

Im at dirk hartog the week before and would travel up after it.

depending on my work roster....

Claire and myself will put our hands up for Exy next year. Dont really care what date, as long as we get some notice...cheers

Ads I thought you said it was an open house next year?

Pitch the tents out the back, Ozzy can park his motorhome out the front, swags in the dining room and lounge room, two on two couches, 4 more in the spare rooms, might squeeze another in your big ol' bed - could fit the whole crew in! Fishwrecked Party Weekend at Adam's house!! Oops, Renee's house... ;-)

And Huggy - what can you do with 3 in a bed? gotta fight for every cm...

start to middle of may, but im flexible

I recon the end of may to take in the june long weekend & make it a three day event that way we can practice the week before haha. 

I would stay away from exmouth in June.

April/May for me,  comp over 4 weeks will suit me...

Few of us SW crew would prefer May.

few of us will come up.......so watch out...ha ha 

I will suggest the following dates to start it of.

May Sat 8th through to Sat 22nd May

The first week there are neap tides and the high tide for the 1st day starts at 7.30 am and goes through to 11,25 am on the first week  the second week the high tides start at 12.10 pm through to 5 pm on the second Saturday , which allows the high tide fishing period to be carried out easily through both weeks , the first week  14th is the new moon , we find there are more pelagics on the surface going up the new moon, three days after the new moon the bottom fish are more active, following the new moon you move into the spring tides until tuesday 18 and return to neap tides, another period would be saturday 5th June , the monday 7th is a pub holiday , there are neap tides but the high tide is later in the day 4.50 pm , the new moon is on the Sat 12 th june and the high tide is now at 10.17 am which means getting out on the water earlier compared to May period.

we were there for the comp the new moon fished a lot better for bottom fish and there were mackys any place you went then the bottom fish slowed up as the moon got fuller mind you we still caught plenty

One way or another if I choose a date someone is going to get pissed off as they will have to miss out.  I will put up a poll for the month and the majority will decide.  Personally, I found that the run out tide fished better than the high and for those that said there werent any fish in May, you were fishing in the wrong area at the wrong time.  If you want proof, I will post a bag photo if I have too.

If anyone is thinking of staying at the Lighthouse Caravan Park, the only time you wont get camp sites is around the School Holidays

April it is? Kinda the same time as we had it this year (ie end of April / start of May)??

thinking that since its been said accomodation is already getting booked out maybe a quick decision on the actual dates might be needed

hence my post - no good if nobody can get accomodation.

Just wanted to give the photo of the month comp an extra couple of days on the frontpage. Its up there now for you guys to decide... Sure someone will end up unhappy with what eventuates......

yep end of April beginning of may will see me up there too!!
