Guest Jocool Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I'm in, and I'm a driver. I will have room for 4 Raiders. I'm at Greystanes, and if you live close by, you can either make your way to my place, or I will pick up on any major road along my way! Wear you red Grundies on your head so I can tell who is a Raider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gianniz Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 aussie carps are stupid fish they will eat anything.. try catching one in europe or asia!! they are most cunning fish of all... I remember when i was fishing and my small float kinda bobbed up ever so slightly... then my dad goes strike it!!! I did and guess what there it was a large carp... Those bugger nibble the bait and if theres any abnormalities they spit it up... So instead of grab and run they stay there and chew on it abit before either spitting or taking off!

Spanker Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Okay we have three confirmed and room for plenty more, Confirmed - Saturday 8th, 7.30 at the Great Northern in Chatswood in the Bistro next to the cook-your-BBQ area. Every man to bring one line, I will bring corn and dough, anyone with their own recipe please bring some. Beers and telling lies about what great fisherman we are from 7.30 followed by a lightening expedition to the LCR to pull some great nasty carp out and have a few chuckles - while respecting all of the other rules and flora/fauna of course If you can PM me if you are coming so we can look out for you at the pub - look forward to meeing a few faces.

Reeso Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Sorry, I just read the first part of the post spanker, yep, I think saturdays right with me. Im not 18 yet though so what are they like up at the Great Northern, are they tight or easy going? I might have to bypass the pub and meet you blokes at the weir? Ill probably be driving anyways But just had a few questions about the carp, Ive never fished for em at night, I spose Ill need one of those glowstick floaters. But apart from that what kinda rig will I need to bring. When I fished for them before I just floated some dry bread crusts with a hook in it out on the surface and it worked a treat. That was in Manly Dam. Also... never beeen to the weir before, but dont live too far away, whats parking and stuff like, is it bushland there, or parkland or what?

riceball Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I heard earthworms work good for carps, and are we only targeting carps or we also managed for other species? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanker Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Reeso - mate I think you can enter the pub if accompanied by an adult. If you want to meet up with the fellas at the pub and rightly stay off the grog you can sagely sip on a Lemon, lime and bitters while listening to Joe recount his tale of his first Jew. If not send me your mobile number and I'll call you when we're leaving the pub. You can park all aroud the entrance at night time, no worries there. Mate bring whatever tackle you want and bait too, although Jow and I will bring dough and corn for everyone. Riceball - definately carp only, although we're bending the rules (only a wee bit) we still want to do the right thing by the park and leave the natives alone. Joe is bringing his ute to take the carp out of the park. The worms sound good though - the more baits we try out the better I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Soprano Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Saturday the 8th it is... My name's Tony, funnily enough, number is 0402930847... I'll meet you all at the great northern at 7:30... How are we going to recognise the raiders as I don't know any of you??? Also, would a bream outfit be sufficient for these things or should I bring something a little heavier?

Spanker Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hi Tony good to have you on board. We will be sitting aruond a table near the big indoor BBQ area - just look for a bunch of blokes scoffing into their beers as they tell eachother lies about their fishing prowess. If Iain comes listen for colourful language and the words Eddie Jones in the same sentence Hope you can make it Iain I want to hear your thoughts about the Super14 next year. Maybe someone could wear a Fishraider sticker on their forehead as a guide Tony I will PM you my number, call me when you get there if you can't see a bunch a fine looking blokes immediately.
