queensland Brisbane bay tours 12.08.09 Ekka holiday

[benno573]

Hi guys,

Sparksie and I are heading out with brisbane bay tours on the Ekka holiday. Last trip we had a good catch of kingies, aj and trag. Danny has said they have been getting some good snapper of late.

There are currently 5 spots across 2 boats available. Normal price for this is 195, as a site sponsor they do a discount for Bfo members down to 180.

Please indicate a show of interest if you are keen, I will pm you details re payment etc. Also, when the 2 boats go out the biggest fish landed wins the angler an offshore rod as a prize!

Check out their website at www.brisbanebaytours.com.au for more info.

Cheers

Benno is at our place at the mo' eating dead fish with us. He was told to bring his best fish eatin' trousers.

He says that he'll speak with Danny from BBT tomorrow and will post as soon as he knows.

Now back to fish eatin' and beer drinkin'

[straddiebrad]

cheers thank kreel in fishing mode now

[benno573]

Dam bugger sh!t and poop. Trip has been canned due to weather, 15-20 nw on a 2m ese swell... yuck. Will look at resceduling this trip in the near future on a day that hopefully suits the current crew and maybe a few more.
