I hope to be there with a mate, was waiting on a pm from Angus on costs. I,ll register as soon as I know how much for 2 for lunch Sat and Sun. Have own boat, well not yet but by then.

[Brian D]

I still need a deckie, last i checked I wasn't an axe murderer but you never know do you.

In truth, we should be safe as Jeff is in a different boat (hope it's insured Ray) hahhahah

By the looking at that list you may just run out of boats and end up in a canoe. Whichever way it goes at least the cannonball has a sounder. Get in before the price goes up :fishing: :fishing:

[shortie]

Yeah there will be yaks and yeah I have already PM'sAngus to arrange teh collection of prizes.

Shortie,good to see you'll be joining the cause. There'll be room in the cannonball to use it as a mother ship to tie up to and hop aboard. There might also be an esky with some "aussie fishermans water" in it. :woohoo:

I can't afford to make this one this year which sucks as I had a great time at the kayak camp 08 and we got some good fish even in bad weather.

Also a few mates have benn getting 1-2 toga a session over the last week before this rain all on cicada colour sammys very early in the morn so hopefully the toga prize will go off this year.

Brett

[benno573]

ok, i'm in. thanks for the loan of the yak shortie...:kiss: i couldn't sit here and watch mal drink on his own! registration emails to follow.

[Angus]

I also have two kayaks if someone wanted to borrow.

This would have to be pick up but more than happy to help out if it was needed.

Cheers.

Angus

[username_taken]

I'm pretty sure I'm in Angus, but I'll still have to play it by ear ... make sure you've got some rego sheets there and can take cash and I'll just show up

[Brian D]

How are we going, Is there enough boats for everyone.

I can pack a yak if we are short of equipment.

[yoyo]

I might be in, just have to negotiate with my sponsors........

Would be keen to team up in a boat with someone who has a clue how to fish the dam/bass, as i've never targetted before...i learn pretty fast though...

There are plenty of spots mate if you want to be in with someone.

I am a space in my canoe if your keen

Hinze is a pretty good dam though, doesnt take long to pick up the techniques just need to find a school and bag your on.

Angus

[Brian D]

Sad world as I am sooooooo looking forward to this as my next chance to have a fish. I am working a race outside this weekend so I might pack a rod but I can't count that as a fishing trip. So Hinze is getting me excited.

So excited I gave the cannonball a new coat of carpet, yeap the bedroom rug has gone.

[username_taken]

you'll be the only boat with 70's porno shagpile carpet.

Mate I have sent a PM.

For everyones reference though.

Anyone is welcome to attend the BBQ lunch and fish with us on Saturday. There will just be a $10 charge for the BBQ.

I must still recieve an official registration email if you are planning on doinf this so we can cater. No email no BBQ. Sorry to be harsh but this is in fairness to those that have registered as outlined.

Only those competing over the full weekend will be eligible for prizes.

Cheers.

Angus

[Angus]

There are the people I have registered so far by email.

I feel the need to point out that I NEED to email again or you are not registered. These official numbers are crucial to catering as I cant dig back through the thread trying to work out the yays from the maybe's. There are a few people in the thread talking like they are coming that are not on this list.

Full Camp.
