raysenior Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Guys, Absolutely last chance for this years trip, i need at least 4 players before next week or will have to cancel houseboat , its a bugger because deposits have been paid, have a think about it and send me a pm urgently if your interested . cheers all have a great weekend snr
Crossfire63 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Sorry Ray cant make it.....Im already booked for 10 days @ Proserpine chasing Barra on Faust Dam and a spot of reef fishing in the Whitsundays otherwise I'd put my name down
raysenior Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 Hi Raiders , regrettably i have had to cancel this years houseboat trip !! , time is running out and with deposits paid better to cancel now or risk more expense, since i have already paid for my air flights i will still be going but will only be doing local weipa based fishing, theres still plenty of great action to be had up the rivers or out in the bay , so now i am only looking for one person who might like to join me on this trip , all expenses will be equally divided , staying in a cabin at weipa campground and using a hire boat from weipa housboats .if you are interested in joining me please pm me . cheers snr
Croydon Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Hi Ray, Sorry to hear your trip has fallen through. I sort of know how you feel. I have just came back from Whitianga NZ where we had 10 days planned to chase those big kingies with a well known charter. However the recent weather followed us and it blew 25 to 50 knots up until the morning we left!! I am thinking of organising a group trip to Weipa for our fishing club. If you had any tips on houseboats, charters, time of year etc it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and good luck when you do get there. Cheers......... Dave
raysenior Posted September 6, 2015 Author Posted September 6, 2015 Hi Raiders. A lot has happened to me this year , since my last post on this thread, I have been diagnosed with high level PSA, before we could get onto treating this I was also diagnosed with bowel cancer and within weeks had been operated on, successfully I might add. and recuperated from surgery , this obviously put the prostate option on hold , until now , this Thursday will be having biopsy done and will get results on Monday 14th. fingers crossed, My dilemma is that I still have my airfairs booked and paid for to fly out Wednesday morning 16th at 6am . To Go or not to go ? that is the question I have been pondering on for months now, and only today I have decided that yes I will be at Weipa this year , This will be a bit different from my normal yearly trip, solo fishing in the local region, I have a little experience in this area so expect to be able to catch a feed so to speak. For those interested I have made a tentative booking for the houseboat for next September . PM me if your interested and I will forward the details.
Scratchie Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Enjoy your trip ray! You sure have earned it! Hope everything goes well for you! Cheers scratchie!!!
Blackfish Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Looking forward to your report when you return. Good luck and good weather.

raysenior Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Hi Raiders, just got back from Weipa last Friday night to hear my roosters get beat on the radio on the drive home!! not happy !! Any way I had my usual 10 days in fishing heaven but this time nearly all my fishing was bait fishing on the close reefs, in contrast to all previous trips which are mostly lure fishing I only caught a few queenies on lure this year. One thing I can say is that the shark population in Weipa is growing rapidly to the point that sometimes you coudnt get a fish in the boat before being sharked I saw plenty of big bull sharks andblack tip reef sharks , had a great fight with a bull shark over a two kilos tusker got the shark back to the boat where he promptly let go of my fish a win for me. its surprising how much fight you get out of a fish in only 6 meters of water when you have to get him to the boat pronto or lose it , the majority of my catches were Tuskers, several varieties, and sweetlips , had a great relaxing time with nothing to do but fish , or prepare for fishing what I did learn this year was how to fish these shallow reefs to success, the last two days saw me pretty much bag out on the reef species. Anyway on the other note just got back from urologist and hes happy with my biopsy results , its wait and see for now with a check up again in December to review progress , in 59 biopsy samples they found only 2 with less than 5% cancer cells of the non aggressive type!! Now its time to prepare for next years houseboat trip , September 21st to 30th 2016 if your are interested please let me know pronto, I need this booked out by xmas!! cheers snr
raysenior Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Hi Raiders, if anyone is interested in next years trip please contact me asap , i have one week to confirm booking of houseboat , or lose my booking , looking for four people to share. cheers snr
raysenior Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 regretably i have had to cancell the houseboat part of this trip, still going up in late september at this stage . but land based only . snr
