kingie chaser Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Not what you really want to see from a town/region that relies heavily on tourism/holiday income to survive. But then the whole country is in the same boat. Anyway it certainly does look like the message about the Easter weekend/school holidays hasn't fallen on deaf ears!

Believe it or not these photos were taken the same day! The first, the ocean was frothing at Noamunga headland and the second, the protection of a southerly!

noelm Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I don't know what happened, but there is people everywhere at my place, it's like a summers day, people swimming, a surf school operating, people walking and sitting on blankets and stuff, why are these people out?

kingie chaser Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hearing all sorts of stories about people being booked all over the place for being where they shouldn't be. Mind you Im sitting on the fence on this one, I think going for a Tinder date might be classes as essential travel for a bloke 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelm Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I drove by the boat ramp this morning on the way to the shop and there was literally hundreds of boats out, yesterday was deserted, today there is trailers parked down side streets and anywhere one will fit, I did hear that big Yellowfin were "on" but that's unconfirmed, there is just so many boats out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61 crusher Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Thursday I took the dog for a walk at Terrigal at the skillion about 14 minutes from home & was surprised to see hardly any trailers at the ramp today however heaps as well as lots of people some even sitting around not adhering to the distancing rules, I was at the ramp for no more than 15 minutes & saw a few snapper & a few flatties been cleaned. The ramp was 3 abreast as the surge was making it rather difficult, I helped one of the guys I’d spoken to before covid19. latch his boat to the winch to make things easier As I was heading out another 2 guys who were hitching there boat up as I was leaving offered one of there fish to the guy I had just helped, he knocked it back so they offered it to me & I gratefully accepted 80cm kingy, they had managed to bag out. I kept my distance the whole time & the only thing I touched other than the winch clip while I was there was the kingy that he kindly put on the gunnel for me. It’s great to be a local Edited April 13, 2020 by 61 crusher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
