I think May would be the best month.

Here fishy fishy  !! 

I think April has better weather than May. SOmetimes the easterlies start to blow in May.

Yeah may would be ok for us  and Sandy Said her cafe would donate $200.00 for prizes if you like .

I think early april or when the tides are best for tantas launching and retreiving (I got bogged this year on lowish tide) marina launching wont matter and bundegi is yet to be seen wether it will be good for bigger boats than tinnes. we would have waited long enough since the lsat trip by then
To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!

the tackle shack will put up some big prizes for first an second place. i presume a points tally would be the easyest way to work things ie 10 points per kg of cobia etc? what are everyone elses thoughts?
will def be up to fish it

10 April to 27 April 2009

we where there from the 2nd to the eigth if i rmember right

To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!

thanks for that offer sandy, we will hold you to that  and as brenz said the tackle shack is looking at a fairly decent prize for a 1st and second place.

Maybe yes a points system similar to the N V's S comp, also just wondering what people think about whether the com[p will run over a week or just a couple of days etc.

At present we seem to have a mixture for april and may, i know when paul jesse and myself went up end of may we had 9 top days but each year is different.

I reckon a couple of days would be good and we could be selective which days they where if we where there for a week.

To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!

Sandy said not a problem mathew

I feel we should all stay together where possiable  but i know some want to fish from tantabidi and some like us can only fish from main marina so staying at say the light house caravan park is half way  (jmo)

And the way you run the N V's S works so why not stay with that system ??

A week is better if the weather is not good for a few day .

RUSS

"A family that fishes together stays together"

maybe can do a bottom fish day and a pelagic/billy day, that way its not going to be a huge thing weighing in a huge amount of fish over 2 days, the billfish day off course would be a catch and release system, just a thought. and as you said, between everyone can always pick 2 days of suitable weather while up there

I was thinking maybe a gulf side day and a tantas side day
not every one is rigged up for billies....Just a thought

To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!

Good piont but not everyone can go from tantas . this is going to be a hard one to work out good luck mathew ha ha

RUSS

P.S WE WOULD HAVE ONE DECKIE SPOT AVAILABLE AT THIS STAGE

"A family that fishes together stays together"

thats an idea. but personally i would like to see a gamefish day added, maybe a third day, as a different section and those that want to fish fish, those that dont and arent set up can just do a bottom bounce etc, for me and others thats a big part of hitting exxy is for the billies, but yes i hear where your coming from FF.

PH:9248 3800

if we do a points system then there would be no need to have game day and a bottom day as points are point fish for what ever . also an honesty system with scales etc so we dont have huge kills for the sake of points.
as for accomidation we know the guys from the ningaloo caravan park and if we can get the numbers roughly i can ring through and book the challets.

Tantas is ok my boat is a 20' glass and I would have been fine had I put down the supplied steel tracks I saw bigger boats than mine being retrieved....it was my fault! besides theres alway plenty of others to snatch you out!

if we all hit the 1 park then it will cut cost huge also the resturaunt there is cheap as with the best food round so would be good to have a few yarns etc after a days fishing

don't have boats. We might not be able to get into the billfish but I reckon we might be able to get a few trevally and such.
(Colin 1 - Co-founding member of the prestigious Colin Club)

Not a BAD idea Brenz, but I think you'll find that some will want to do both. Unless you split the prizes (if that's what you mean) into each section.

Perhaps have spme novelly prizes as well.

col# 1 i should have room on my boat and im sure many others will to

Count me in. I still think a shorebased day or prize might be fun. May would suit me best, but I could work around April as well.
(Colin 1 - Co-founding member of the prestigious Colin Club)

Thats not fair colin, LOL, hey colin #1, i suppose with a week or so up there, theres always a possibilty in putting a land based day in maybe as a change, though in the end it would depend on numbers going up, prizes available and people wanting to fish landbased etc, but yes a very good option to add in

personally russ, i think may might be the better option at the moment, but will see what others think in a few days, this thread has only been going a couple of hours so other input would be good on months but im hoping may might be the better choice.

Can we please set the dates so I can plan this in? 

How about the week before GameEx, so that those who want can stay for that as well?

haha good one NoWorries.

I purchased the leave from my work.  

Bit early to commit 100% ,but i will say yes, we will be there , will keep my eye on the post, and keep you up to date.The only killer will be the fuel, will have to take one or more deckies to split the cost .. I'll make it a ten day trip then there's no big rush to get there ,or get home..

we will be making this trip 2 weeks .our anual escape from the rat race,plenty of time for fishing ,relaxing and of cause driving

I think that Mako should do it as he did bring the subject back up.

Or maybe Tim or Andy Mac as they do a great job at organising the NvS comps.

But yes I agree that Adam should organize the Comp part as it is his backyard we will be fishing in (hopefully not his real backyard as we have all seem the weeds, oh and fish gonads )

Who ever does organize it just needs to make sure that we get together a few times and discuss things (read drink and yarn).
