GregL Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) Hi Raiders. With 2009 fast approching, what are your plans and goals for 2009? Fish wise # -I'm after a billfish out of the new boat. -A 10kg red in NSW waters on plastics -A 6kg red out of Sydney waters on plastics. Trip wise # -Was looking at doing a few weeks travel up the West Australian coast sampling different charters and live-a-boards on the way threw. But then. -A mate asked me if I was willing to join a group of trailer boats joining a mother ship out of far north QLD. Idea is to ship/truck the boats up to Cairns or Gladstone areas and fish the coast to reefs and everything in between following the mothership as we move around..... -Must get back to Awoonga in between other fishing trips! So there is my short list of achievable goals for 2009, what are yours? Greg Edited November 22, 2008 by GregL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Dude you couldnt do any worse than baseing yourselves at 1770 Reef fishing which I consider the best on the Great Barrier reef other than the outer barrier reef off Cape York and around an hour and a half drive to Awoonga or Monduran So much variety and add sails and small blacks at the right time of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davemmm Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 My goals are quite simple. First third of the year I am going to crack the metre on a flatty. Middle third I will crack 45cm on a blacky. Last third a 45cm whiting. In between I will get a couple of metre plus Jews in the Georges and any size Jew in the Hacking. Dave Plus move out of the unit (after 19yrs) and into a house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stricko4 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Nothing so bold as to state a size but ANY kingy from my own boat would be a great start. And again I'm not fussed about the size so much bu a legal sized jew would be nice to. To be honest I should just say to get out on the water on a regular basis rather than having the battery in the boat going falt from lack of use.
