Shoalwater 2009
January 30, 2009, 12:47:57 PM
well, there won't be a report from Shoalwater for week 1 this year because it has been cancelled due to inclement weather.
Such is life! Hopefully, the fishing gods will owe me one for Bugatti
If it swims; I want to catch it!

that's how it goes sometimes. If you book enough trips, it will happen sooner or later.
We made this call this morning before we caught the flight to Hamilton Island so still in Sydney
If it swims; I want to catch it!

Brandon ,

I am sorry to hear this , especially for a couple of guys who have come so far to join this trip .

In S.E.Asia we generally observe " no fishing " till after the first full moon of the Lunar New Year because usually the weather is bad for fishing .

That is a major bummer Brandon, very sorry to hear that. Having seen the weather forecast for the next week up that way I can see why the decision was made, it doesn't look very fishable and it seems to be the whole week like that instead of just an isolated day or two

At least you have Bugatti to look forward to in the not too distant future, I feel even worse for anyone who had planned this as their major trip for the year   :( :( :(

Thanks Jay, the anxiety is starting to build up 10 fold, spoke to Nomad today and they're confident that it'll go ahead but here's hoping

I think so.
These things happen. I just feel sorry for the guys who came all the way from overseas.
I can only wish the guys the following week the best of luck
