Ray R Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 G’day Raiders, well I’m back now from another fantastic camping holiday up at beautiful Delicate Camping Reserve, the weather was a bit sour on a couple of occasions but generally it was good, the usual group of family and friends were there (61 this time) and we all had a great time, this was my 28th Easter / school hols up there. Hutcho and his family were there as well and he and I had quite a few fishing sessions on the beaches and around the northern headland (Racecourse), the fishing was a bit tough at times but we still managed some nice fish. We generally went early morning and late arvo armed with nice beach worms, Hutcho was really working hard for the worms but he did pull nice bags of them in certain areas, if he couldn’t get them the servo in at Crescent Head has them most times, the gutters were scarce but a beach walk usually found us in a nice area for fish.so we wormed up and found some nice whiting and bream , not a big amount of them but enough to keep us happy,in amongst the quality fish were heaps of pesky darts and some little flathead but during our 1 hour early morning or arvo sorties we generally got a few nice quality bream and whiting, I even caught a Luderick he was big and I thought it was a mother of a bream. As for the evening Jewie hunts, well that was a bit of a failure mainly due to 40 people around a campfire me sipping on Kilkenny cream and a bit of relaxing generally enjoying the company of all there, I did go down to the beach one night armed with some heavy artillery and a whole whiting, but after it was out there for an hour I wound it in,ran up the track back to camp and into the Kilkenny. Apart from the fishing there were huge cricket games, surfing and other things to keep us occupied during our stay at this lovely place. As usual I took a million pics so I have sorted through them and picked out a few for this post.. Anyway that's it, a very concise essay of the camp trip up at Delicate. Enjoy the pics. Cheers..

GregL Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I thought camping was ment to be ruffing it, by the look of your setup theres no ruffing it there Ray! Sounds like a great get away mate. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fran1mat Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Nice fish Ray. Do tell me though, if you had 61 people to go fishing with, why did you choose that bloke? Regards, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well done Ray & Hutcho! 61 People!! Holy Moly!! Some towns in NSW have less people!! You were never alone! Glad you got into some good fish - shame the jewies didn't come out to play tho! No harm in trying, eh? Neat looking camps, too!!! Were those pics taken at the beginning or end? Beginning, methinks! Well done on gettin the nice blackie, too! Great pics of all the fish. No doubt you'll be glad to be back in your own comfy beds!

Brian Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 G'day Gents, how good are those camp set ups! Ray I'm pleased to see that you have not one but two esky's in your camp and a on the table already. Hutch, what's doin with the coffee cup on hols? They are just a better looking quality of fish from the ocean rocks and beach, they look like really fresh clean whiting and bream. Glad to see you have the side cast there Hutch, can't beatem on the sand. Sounds and looks like a great trip was had, well done. And to put up with 61 of your rellos there too, phew Cheers, Brian. Hutch get onto Chappo about the next big fish event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyreid76 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 sounds like you had a great time, and what a place. The family and i and four other couples are heading to the same spot when the holidays finish for two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho1 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hey Mondo, Nice post mate you've done it again and captured our trip nicely. Thanks for another great holiday and our 28th year in a row. I think it is pretty amaziing that the 61 has grown from a group of teenagers who have stuck together through thick and thin and bred like rabbits. It is also fantastic that the new generation of P platers are still keen to come up with us. Till next year and the capture of the elusive jew and cobe. Now it's time to prepare the boat for some local action and hunt down some bream. Regards, Hutcho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
