Luke* Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Anyone in CHCH going up? and willing to bring back a few :lol: Cant get away :evil: and cant afford it :lol: pfft c'mon start saving now... share out the costs with others...sell the mollies to fund the trip or trade some petrol for mollies. yea not many survived in honesty, this time we should be more careful in matching the water conditions that they are currently residing in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well, it looks like I might be traveling up with a few others, but it will be a day trip on the Sunday unless God grants me a miracle and I get staff to run my store at weekends! :roll: Any other Wellingtonians looking at traveling up? We could start a convoy! Any others wanting to share the luv? (and the petrol costs?! :lol: ) I've heard I need to invest in a good set of fishing waders and some good rubber wet suit pants!

Wok Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I believe the fnzas execs will be travelling up on Friday for the Exec meeting on Saturday I will be leaving for Turangi on Saturday Morning. and spending the night in Turangi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Is anyone else looking at going on the hunt on Sunday? I'm really keen to go and trying to get it organized, but can't make it until the Sunday at this stage. I'd need someone else to show me where to go, and it won't be as much fun without as many people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm keen to join the hunt too, but I'd need someone to show me where to go as well. Wok - you're planning on going on Sunday eh? If anyone else from Auckland wants to go, I could give one person a lift (I've only got a small car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think we will give this one a miss and head up to Rotorua to have a look there on Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Ah come on Paul! What does Rotorua have to offer that you couldn't find in the muddy swaps of Turangi?! Besides, if you're there anyway could be a lot of fun....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 If people are keen they can meet up with me at Club habitat around 9.00am and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Don't know that we'd make it there by 9am..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I hope to be at the swamp around 9.30 - 10.00am, it takes around 3.5 - 4 hours from auckland to Turangi, with no stops. I believe it is around the same from Wellington. Wok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 It's looking like it could be a goer for the Sunday! How many others are going on the Sunday? Any one else from Welly going? I'm gonna get dirty! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 5 more days to go. So who is interested in meeting up on Sunday morning for a wade through a stinking swamp, looking for Mollies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simian Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 We have a Waikato person who is keen but wants to share a ride...anyone? unfortunately I cant make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spink Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Unfortunately me and my group won't be coming along....not enough people and dosh to pay for the petrol... maybe another time though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I was keen to go, but the thing is I don't really want any more fish at the moment... (I don't know what is wrong with me :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I was keen to go, but the thing is I don't really want any more fish at the moment... (I don't know what is wrong with me :lol: ) :lol: :lol: :lol: I am in the same boat as you, however, since I was down in Turangi anyway, for the FNZAS Exec meeting, I thought I would ask people if they were interested. I had suggested Sunday morning because Saturday would be too rush for me. but it is do-able if you are interested. But this will be like before 1pm as that is when the exec meeting starts and goes on for ages. of course we could always do it after 4pm on saturday as well. But really I am suggesting 9.00am Sunday morning and be done by 10.30am, which will give time for people to travel home with their goods. I will be staying at Club Habitat in Turangi on Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Grant and I went on the last hunt. We neither wanted any fish, nor joined in with those wading through the swamp, but we went for the cameraderie and to have a laugh at others' expense :lol: It is a good opportunity to meet other forum members and put a face to a name. Also good to just have fun! (we laughed a lot!!!) :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Have no idea as to where you can land a helicopter. Best to meet up at 9.00am outside club habitat reception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
