            cheers xfactor

 Ski: thus far looks like me,thee & xfactor,

now the Management Commity of  THE M.B.BC. !

 have very generously  (in my humble opinion) offered the use of our clubs facilities to those on this Fish net thing who wish to partake ? Public holidays, & fishing comp week ends excepted. 

 roll up,launch your tub any time 2 hrs after low tide. pay your $5.00 & pee off safe in the knowedge that the gear you left behind is safe & sound.

 Whats with our o'seas members ? shore boys ? no takers ? A.C. & his merry men would be most welcome !

ill see what the weathers doin closer to the time buider  i mite launch from the shore or something yet as itll take me longer to tow the boat all the way over there athan actuallyzippin out from the bays some where.have launched from maraeti once b4 and its very handy to waiheke specially if it blows up.

does anyone know what the story with rotoroa island isare you allowed to anchor and go ashore or is it a rehab private property senario.looks like a nice bay to duck in for the nite by the jetty.

Hi Ski,

Rotoroa is run by the Salvation Army for drunks & druggies on rehabilitation. landing is strictly a no no. Or you may feel at home.  Your better bet would be to try Pakatoa. Pakatoa used to discourage visitors but I am unsure of their opinion of the great unwashed boating population. I was asked to remove myself from the premises a few years ago. Can't think why? Pay to give them a call. The bays on Waiheke side are fairly shallow. Don't want to wake up with the boat on a list as well. 

I'm not coming iver for a couple of months yet but the gathering sounds interesting

Rowan

 XFACT;  when you say next week is that during the week ?

could be a go for me as well,working Sat & Sun, so the handbrake has no cause to complain if I skizze off ( but they do !)  

jeeze, tow the tub down to the Club Wed arvo, get licquered Wed nite, sleep in the tub that nite in the car park then "Tally Ho" a fishing we will go Thurs morning @ sparrows,perfect! sing out Builder,Builder, Builder on the radio thingy X if yoose wont to meet up ? I'll be out there, some were ? (bottom end of Waiheke that is) 

 Bent 1    "sarcasm is the lowest form of Wit " (tee hee, youle be happy to know, clients now happily ensconsed in their abode ).

 is there a pic anywhere of you wearing the Dunny seat ?  this I gotta see !

 (thanks Boulder, glad to see you have fitted a most worthy recipiant )

more serious matters, youz Shore Boys people doing this Waiheke thing? like gone to no end of trouble to provide near perfect launching facilities & security for youz, all I need now is numbers involved ?

well builder weather is sh------t not looking good for the next few days windy-as realy starting to piss me off.but you never no might get a brake sometime so might see ya out there.

                      cheers trev

 XF i'mm with you, not about to freeze what little nuts off I have left ?

what say youz   Ski ?

perhaps leave it until new Years, at least we have the clubs o.k. they will look @ accomodating "Drunks ,Liars"& "Unmentionables" (from o'seas ie; Shore boy's ?)

Builder ... will furnish picture of myself with the award ..  even though I think my crime was more of a misdemenour.

Iwon't be doing an overnighter - couldn't think of anything worse on my boat as there ain't nowhere to sleep. I'm also keeping all my fishing fishing trip brownie points for the game season.

Good luck tho'

Hmmm.... maybe around the 28th -29th December?  Looks like we finally have a nice patch coming!

Anyone Keen?

 Roath Mate youz a gem.  here,s what I intend to do.

roll up at the Club early arvo. get settled, put a couple of hundy over the bar for drinks all round, 28th  is me Birthday! ( & from here on in every 1 is precious )

sleep in the car park, awake to Bell birds & Tuis doing their thing .go fishing without any restricions on when I,z got to be back. pick a bay to anchor up o,nite, watch the sun go down with me faithful companions. ( tee hee ) back into it in the morn.

all this to acheive me 1 & only ambition, catch a 500m ah lah Lethals post of a 13 yr old girl hauling 1 up.

 there is no way I can organize this o,nite thing properly for Fish net members given the time frame ; however, 2 Pelin Nomads in the same bay would be a good look.

 me mobile is 021 905 798.     

 Roath, Ski, youzz coming or going or just breathing hard ?

29th it is provided however sea is like glass !  tee hee.

you got a bog in your boat ski ? just asking .

Hey Jim

Sorry mate, haven't been on the site much lately.. only just seen this thread tonight.

I can't do an over nighter this week now. Finally scored some work.. it's been 4 months of no income so I can't complain too much about not being able to fish cause I have work to do. (but I still will!).

Have a great day or two mate. I will be heading out for a fish after work, maybe on the 29th.. but shes a long haul over to your part of the gulf so I don't think you will see me. Any plans on bays?

for future reference.. no loo mate.. nothing flash on my old girl. Just seats and thats it!
