My good mate Skoti can't make this trip so we're looking for another fisher. It's not cheap, but I guess $700 will cover the weekend. You need to be available for a 4 or 5 day window and it is with Aaron Sergeant aboard Coastal Fishing Charters.

Excellent! Anyone keen to be a standby in case someone drops out? Pretty keen group of us but last year one guy couldn't go because of a medical problem, was no problem filling the spot.

Are there any isolation or distancing pandemic conditions that will apply ?

Neil isn't going, he was the salami owner

..... Big salami owner?!

It was a big night

OK, that is indeed some overwhelming respect Kitno. Six people may be leaving Hicks Bay, but how many will come back? 

I've now got 3 on standby, thanks guys. I'll keep in touch & let you know if there's a likelihood of a trip. In all reality, someone always has to drop out for some reason or another, more so in these times. Good luck guys but at this stage we have a full crew: Kitno, Arron, Mars, Rumbold (not a forum member but one of the originals last year who had to withdraw for medical reasons), Wayno & myself.
