Fishing Magnificent Merimbula
Posted by Meggs | Uncategorised | Posted on June 8th, 2010
Greetings all,
Well the countdown is on for the 2010 Fishing & Reef Tour Specialists trip to chilly, but nonetheless, magnificent Merimbula. The crew has invested in thermals and will surely need them on one of our overnight mako shark and marlin missions. We also hope to tangle with some yellowfin and bluefin tuna and will be dropping baits to depths that will feel like 40,000 leagues under the sea when we try to turn the reel in search of some blue eye, gemfish and tassie trumpeter.
It’s been a while since our crew headed to the south coast but interestingly enough those of you that have followed the Fishing & Reef Tour Specialists story will know that we began our fishing trips together down at Tathra in 1990. It’s only fitting that 20 years later our team gets together again in that general direction.
It’ll be a while since we spent some time on the land as part of our trips as the last two in particular we spent a week on board a houseboat in Weipa and a 35 foot bareboat in the Whitsundays. This time we will be able to take in some World Cup Soccer matches and some of the Wimbledon tennis. Who knows we may even have a bet or 10 on the horses!
In case you weren’t aware I’ve been stockpiling some interesting Merimbula Fishing links on the www.skippermeggs.com website and if you’re interested in learning more about fishing in the area I encourage you to take a look.
Here is a link to the infamous Merimbula bar webcam. I remember on one of our first trips to Tathra there was a legendary photo of a cruiser being swamped by a huge wave at that very spot.
Anyway, have a sensational long weekend and I look forward to bringing you some interesting stories from our trip away.
Sea you later,
Skipper Meggs
