Scratchie

21-23 June

Great post Gordo and at least you scored a few fish! 4 days fishing in what I assume are cold conditions is commitment. You should venture up this way for the meet up we have chasing snapper! Cheers scratchie!!!

You’ve been added and I like your confidence! 👍

Nice work jimbo! Bet your glad you didn’t turn around and go home! Cheers scratchie!!!

I will try to write an article before the event. If not, grab my ear the night before! 👍

Baz, plenty of time to get your s$@t together! ✅

Giddy up! Nice work on the bait gathering! Sounds like you’ve got plenty to share bahaha cheers scratchie!!!

@frankS @kingie chaser Have a look back through the thread and some raiders offered spots. Send them a pm! And don’t stress, we’ll get you on a boat! 👍

I just love quick impromptu sessions. They never seem to disappoint! Well done 👍 cheers scratchie!!!

Plenty of time to organise yourself Baz! Thanks for the offer to help! Just couldn’t image you having any dramas Baz! 😂

Now that’s the poorest excuse I’ve ever heard! Sucks to be you! Lol 😝 Enjoy mate and make sure your checking in to see our awesome catches! If not, I’ll send you some pics personally!

See what I’m saying James! There’s a lot of feedback you get from this site! My tip, when you catch your targeted species. Make a mental note of the time, tide, bait, gear, conditions and if that situation presents itself again, you should be successful. Cheers scratchie!!!

What an awesome weekend away Dave! That is quality time at its finest! The fish are a bonus! Cheers scratchie!!!

But I do use WillyWeather. Always look for an improvement in conditions throughout the day! That way, what you are confronted with in the morning should be your worst conditions! Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice work! Save a few of them for the snapper up this way! Cheers scratchie!!!

To add, this invitation to come and have a fish with me and everyone else is open to all you good folk and your family and friends. My kids will be coming out too and fingers crossed the weather is kind to us! If anyone needs to know anything about the area at all then please send me a pm! It should be a cracking weekend with a few fish thrown in the mix! Stay tuned...... cheers scratchie!!!

Haha, too generous Frank! But thank you very much. I’m sure we’ll come up with some good reasons to give them away to deserving participants!

Gday guys, Thank you all for the amazing response to catch up for a fish! It should be a great weekend and hopefully the weather and fish play ball. Whats the plan?????? After some much thought, this is what I’ve come up with. Meet: Anna Bay Tavern on the GAN GAN rd, Anna Bay @6pm Once there we get a chance to meet and greet. I will be handing out two maps of the area. One with sanctuary zones and one with pretty much all the gps marks and areas I’ve caught fish over the last 20 years! 🤫 You will also be given a yellow flag to display on your boat to denote our group! There is also an opportunity to chip in $10 per person if you wish, for a few meetings over the weekend. Dont stress if you miss Friday night. Saturday morning: Meet at Little Beach boat ramp @5am where I’ll cook up a sausage sandwich and juice. We’ll leave at first light so it’s a bit safer for first time travellers. This also will give everyone the opportunity to catch up again if you missed the night before. If everyone then wants to come back to the ramp between 4-5pm where we’ll put on another sausage sandwich and maybe a coldie or soft drink! Here, everyone gets to show off there prized catch and maybe a prize for the winner! Sunday: totally up to you if you want to head back out but I will throw on a late breakfast at shoal bay boat ramp @10am. All in all, it should be a great weekend and fantastic to meet up with many like minded people. Two things I can’t control is the weather and the fish! Although, the options up here to get out and wet a line are endless! Any questions please feel free to ask or send me a pm! If you’ve put your name down and can’t make it, don’t stress! I’m going fishing regardless 👍 Cheers scratchie!!! @GoingFishing @rickmarlin62 @Berleyguts @510 sea spirit @blaxland @Woodsy1 @gundi4 @campr @Pauafritta @tyrone07 @Ojay Samson @back cruncher @frankS @noelm @garfield28 @quintrex52 @jeffb5.8 @kingie chaser @the skipper @micktempe @Sigma @61 crusher @antonywardle @Peter Nelson @Loomesy @Welster @GordoRetired@Nikolaki

Nice work Trav! Definitely some fine specimens there! Do you release all your fish? Or do you occasionally keep one for the table? Cheers scratchie!!!

Lol. Your a funny man Yowie! Never suffered seasickness in my life!

We sure can! Marks will only be available to those that turn up! 👍

Nice work champ! Mate, I haven’t had a flu in years so your timing was pretty bad. With that, the weather and the longtail disappearing but you managed a couple of cracking Jew there and congrats on your pb! Now to get that snapper pb broken! 💪 cheers scratchie!!!

No it’s not 2 miles offshore! But you do need the rest of the safety equipment! I will write a post tomorrow in more detail.

Haha, you could always find accommodation 3 mins from the ramp! 😝

Yes! I have a few things I’m working on and will announce shortly!
