Scratchie Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 G’day raiders, There seems to be a fair bit of interest in a Fishraider catch up in the majestic Port Stephens. So it’s got me thinking and I thought I’d put up this thread to see who’s keen. Winter would probably be the best time to visit, with less crowds, more accommodation available at a more reasonable rate. The snapper fishing should be in full swing with plenty of bay options too! I would be happy to share GPS marks, techniques and help with any info required, too anyone that attends. Haven’t considered a date yet as I’ll wait to see who’s interested. Please put your hand up below and I’ll add you to a list! Cheers scratchie!!!

I was all set to fish tomorrow with a former work colleague of the missus. He came up to Port this morning and is sleeping on his boat with his 2 sons and wanted me to crew for him as they’re not too keen on fishing offshore. We were going to try the FAD. I was all rigged and set to go then my son comes in saying he has to pick up a car in Sydney tomorrow and guess who has to be the other driver? 🤔 Damn! The things we do for family! 😂 I tend to work every second weekend. If I get enough notice, I can try and swap with someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigma Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Pencil me in too Geoff. If I can get the time off work, would love to be there. Any idea which month are you thinking of? On top, I have a couple of Christenings coming up (not sure when yet) and a wedding in August as well. Hopefully it's not at the same time.

Berleyguts Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Is there a moon phase or tide pattern you’re looking for? 15/16 looks a little better on the Maori charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
