cplagz Member 19 Member For: 17y 3m 11d Posted 27/02/08 12:08 AM Share Posted 27/02/08 12:08 AM You mentioned fishing, wakeboarding and surfing all in one post.I think I just found a friend lol.I'm heading up north in early May for 2 - 4 weeks. Will hang between Kalbarri and Exmouth and move around in search of swell (1st priority) and fish (2nd). Can't wait to get away from work!Nice! Wish I could get the time off to do that stuff (just came back from 2 weeks on the Gold Coast). Scored some epic surf at DBah/Snapper/Kirra with the cyclone/monsoon swells.8am-6pm working sucks.....lets move this to the chit-chat thread shall we? I'll double post this across.

cplagz Member 19 Member For: 17y 3m 11d Posted 27/02/08 12:28 AM Share Posted 27/02/08 12:28 AM First off I'll have to specify, I say "surfing" but I ride a bodyboard (don't hate me! )Cott is my "local", got a place down south so head there a fair bit and my girlfriends parents live off Walcliffe road... so surf Supertubes/Smiths/Rabbits a lot when at my place or Gas Bay/Reef/Boodj when I'm with the mrs parents.Used to go to rotto heaps (chickens mainly) but working hours restrict that now to weekends only :( Might head out this weekend as Sun/Mon is looking great, old man might have the big girl out too so I'll have somewhere to sleep that's protected.Been hitting up lancelin local beach a fair bit and had some good success there lately too.who else rides behind a boat here? (wakeboarding) ..... I try to get out behind my centre console as much as I can, anyone got their own boats?

Guest Guests Posted 27/02/08 12:45 AM Share Posted 27/02/08 12:45 AM Purely for conversation & information purposes here fellas but I work on Barrow Island (just near Montebello's) and we also have a field at Thevenard Island (aka Mackerel Island) which I will be visiting on a monthly basis from now on. Mainly shore fishing for me but it's a nice way to waste a bit of time after work. Daylight saving has been a major PITA though.Fishing hasn't been a huge priority for me of late but I am keen to get into it again and have been slowly stockpiling a bit of gear at work.

Jk'ing!!!Work has killed my surfing over the last 3 years! Around perth I surf at little island (the 3 mile off whitfords) or the Alkimos near yanchep. Both require a boat and still get crowded these days. Go to Lancelin a bit. Rotto I rate highly but don't get there enough. The big lefts up north are the go :-) I got a 12 ft superduck (rubber ducky made of ali) and my old man has a south wind centre consol and a big ar$e precision as well. The old boy is too lazt to take us to rotto for the day though grrrr. Mate used to have a malibu wakeboat and we all chipped in for a lease at bonnie's (and garage there) for a few years. That was totally frigg'n awesome! I need to buy a skiboat, just can't afford it damn it!!!

cplagz Member 19 Member For: 17y 3m 11d Posted 27/02/08 01:13 AM Share Posted 27/02/08 01:13 AM Nice, I might ahve to join you on an excursion to the outer reefs up north I got a 24ft boston whaler, twin 175 merc 2strokes.... woooweee she flys.... old boy owns a boat called Weapon.Only "wake" boat I been behind is the one that operates at south perth, that thing is awesome. I got a pole made and fitted on the whaler and it works decently, just need some fat sacks and a tower I think! ..... towers really do make you float, you can feel the pole start pulling you back down.
