Another Swap Meet 3rd May

[tomca]

Dan, there are some fishy spots not too far off the end of the jetty that produce fish, and the drop off is only a few minutes from the ramp. I'll be there in the boat, so if you get caught short, I'll give you a tow back.

[Do$tylz]

sweet. I guess I'll be there too Although I don't have anything to sell, I'm always a sucker to buying things

Will also be keen on a deckie spot or a spare yak if anyone has a spare Also for the newies out there, don't be shy to come along and say G'day. One of the Wello meets ages ago was where I first met some of the AFO'rs including Angus and Faulked was nice enough to let me deckie on his boat even though I'd just met him Great chance to say G'day and I'm sure most oldies will have their AFO shirts on so its not easy to miss us

[straddiebrad]

i will be there and will have deckie spots,so if some one can show me how to get the best out of my sounder your on the boat. brad

[wesfish]

[Eug]

hopefully the boat arrives in time. would definitely be keen

[bootyinblue]

I have a Viking Nemo set up for fishing if anyone wants it on the day. Also there is a spot available in my boat (all applications will be considered, but judges decision will be biased and final) for anyone that wants to apply.

Angus - Is it possible to put this in the events calender as thats where all my rostering is done from, and I dont mind coming in 30 minutes early to spark up the BBQ if needed. Will PM you about it.

Mate I dont think youll have any trouble following anyone.

Wello is easy, well marked and not far from the ramp.

So itll be easy to link up with the crew.

Ohhh no! Ray has just pointed out that this is the same day as the Wivenhoe Dam open day, so I am going to have to be a scratching.

BUT..... Anyone that feels like a fish from a yak and wants to borrow mine is more than welcome to come and pick it up from Ipswich area.

[rayke1938]

What is the agenda for the meet.

Here is a possibility.

Dawnish start.

Fish till 10.30

swap till 11.30.

Last one we had cast net demo would anyone be interested?

Knife sharpening demo?

Anyone want to give any tackle talks? Maybe Zimman or bozo soft plastics.

Yaking finer points or modifications.

Any other suggestions?

It all helps to make a good day and info for newbies and dumb oldies like me.

Cheers

Ray

[jeff f]

i'm launching early early am

i may have a decky spot but i wont be able to comfirm till friday though

[bretto]

I'll be there bright and early in a tiny blue kayak well before first light. Should be fun. Haven't got a snapper in a while so heres hoping.

[happywally]

anyone else doing an early morning stint and want a deckie?

i'll bring a 6 pack! :laugh:

or 2 6 packs!!!! :woohoo:

[yoyo]

if bretto's there, that means the fish will be...

[shortie]

I can make this for for a fish but i may be able to make the BBQ. unfortunatelly Mrs is working so im on Daddy duties.

[Davo_Dinkum]

will be there for the bbq ,swap meet.maybe fish off the bank.

no tinny or canoe.

the cruiser is broken .she took us camping and got us home .but don't really want to drive it.got some nasty diff, bearing and uni noises.so it's going on blocks so i can rebuilt the drive train before may 22.

unless i get a tow bar for the Mazda and fit it by sunday.not much chance of that happening.

and if i got the roof racks for the Mazda i would not feel right having the canoe on the roof of it.roof is not so strong on small cars and it's a no gutters type roof .it has the bars along the roof where u put racks but all the weight would be on the flat and cave in the roof i'm sure of it.

so i would rather have a rest and relax this weekend and fish from the beach/bank .
