Hope to see plenrt of AFO'ers there!

Final location was chosen based on the massive ammounts of land based access and family friendly locations.

You DO NOT need to launch at this ramp. The entire sorrounding area is fair game, this is just the location for the BBQ.

Angus

Anywhere at all is allowed.

Just be at the BBQ at midday

Angus

[Angus]

Bloody good numbers considering its the first day this has been up. This should be a cracker!

Angus

[Rocket75]

I'm keen, might even get Mrs Rocket to come to this one being that it's a half day event with lots of land based spots for a relaxing reading...oops, I mean fishing session!

[Angus]

Quite a few more over night. Id say we should see some great fish caught at this.

Just to clarify you DONT need to attend a pre event registration, you can commence fishing as early as you like.

Angus

[Angus]

Whats everyones plans for this anyway?

Ill prob be yakking it so might head up Ningi...

Well the night before at the earliest

I am actually going to make a post about this so there is no confusion.

Angus

[tomca]

I'll probably take the yak and hit up around one of the creeks for the early morning then head over to the bbq area and drift around.

Well ningi is really the closest creek around and there are plenty of flatties. (from previous experiences).

Angus

[bigtez]

I will probably head up towards Elimbah ck or Donnybrook early and come back to the flats near the wreck or Ningi later. May have decky spot free if anyone wants it.

[Travis]

from what i hear there has been some early season jacks about too.... might be worth a look for the misc category

[noname]

misc category!!! does that include things in skirts?? :laugh:

[Do$tylz]

yeah I'm up for whatever via yak as much as I'd love to take up BigTez on his boat space

If there are any newies that are keen on a boat, I'd take up BigTez's offer. He knows his shiz and is a great bloke with a pimp boat. Only thing is I reckon you'd need to know at least average knowledge of fishing though .... you'll get killer time fishing on this boat.

Tez if no one takes the free spot by the time the day comes around I'll take it Keen as mustard to get on that boat again

[ryanyoung]

Sorry fellas, would love to be there, but work calls, I will be away during that time.

[bmxdirtjumpa]

haha dostylz makes it sound waaay too good to pass up, so if its all good i'd be keen to jump in your boat bigtez

[Do$tylz]

^^ yep. He's a good skip. Dunno if Tez wants me on his boat again though.... might outfish him again

[bigtez]
