[ellicat]

There's a heap of big girl catties out there at the moment. Some have been mistaking them for threadies apparently :laugh:

[DES]

Does anyone know where I can find the fish points table? I have seen it somewhere but now I can't find it.

Just want to check if it is worthwhile fishing the fresh water.

[Cowfish13]

Here it is There are no freshwater fish in the table, but it'd still definately be worth fishing for 1 day.

[DES]

Thanks Cowfish. I think I will do just that

[51MPL]

[51MPL]

pm sent to angus, not sure who to ask.. Just want to confirm that a friend can come down saturday morning and pickup my ID & listen to the rules as i'll be at work til 5

[Travis]

tugger are you doing the night time thing with the boys?? or braving the crowds during the day?

[straddiebrad]

whats the plan of attack for you travis and rob still not sure if i can make it,might just do the saturday.

[Malcolm]

Has anyone got a spot we can park up the boats ,have a camp a little drinkie and a kip?

Or better still I'll deckie for someone and drink the whole bloody time

[Travis]

see thats the problem.... if we do the night time thing up the river every1 has to drive at some point.... doing the day thing every1 has to leg it home in the arvo... is there any caravan parks near colmslie or pinkenba?

[straddiebrad]

might be a motel at the pub at colmslie i think

[Malcolm]

There is not a house boat for hire on the river is there?

[Travis]

will think about it this week, might just be day trips me thinks. or night trips in robbos hull

[tugger]

doing an overnighter on the river travis only 1 deckie so far

[Travis]

if thats the case then i might just cruise with robbo, do the overnighter and hang round for the presentation sun and leg it :laugh:

[Old Scaley]

Could be a breezy night on the river according to Seabreeze. Bloody northerlies as well.

[Gazza]

Just Talkin to Rummy and it don't pay to be crook the week before but I had it in my head that the BRC was the first W/E in December DOH :ohmy: to my surprise :silly:

To find out it is this W/E NP

2 boats will be used Absconded will venture out bout 12 pm Sat from Comslie till when ever pm and head home Sat night some time and return for an early start on Rumrunners boat Sunday morning till weigh in :woohoo:

So say gday if you see us and good luck to all

BTW Me, Rummy and Fisher Dan are heading to Stanage Bay in the new year (2nd of Jan) for a week of fishing ,crabbin and having a good time Rummy and Dan are takin bikes to explore new lakes etc 2 vehicles are goin but we do need a smaller boat for the crabs / jacks / Barra etc in the creeks etc if the wind gets up ( subtle hint @ you Henry I'll tow yor boat lol )

if your interested let us Know or if you have a boat for for sale that would suit ,again let us know

Accomadation for the week will be less than 150 $ each for the week plus fuel etc etc

expressions of interest ??

ps all though this place sleeps 8 there is only one spot available to make a group of 4 for this trip so be quik :woohoo:

Maybe a good venue for a AFO group outing with more boats in the future :woohoo:

Cheers Gaz

I just had a look at the target species and noticed the prizes.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NOVELTY CHEQUES!

That made my day at the Moreton Bay Classic, I won a section and was awarded a fabulously large cheque - I had hoped the BRC would continue in the same vein. I wanted to see novelty cheques the size of small cars.

Its not too late Gus, how about a novelty cheque for $1 for all prize winners?

I still have mine mounted to my office wall.

[John]

Novelty cheques are awarded at the Moreton Bay Classic as there is cash prizes.

If we have cash prizes in other competitions we run then we will most probably do novelty cheques as well.

[kreel]

Please allow me to assist. I have designed the "Gus Cheque" ("in Gus we trust") for future events.

[kreel]

Tooo much time, hate work, want to go fishing.

Must stop looking at AFO and get back to work.

[aidanwebb]

Kreel you have too much time on your hands, I think I need to get a job for the Government/Museums

Keep it up

Only a couple of minutes. Its largely to get a signiture for insurance reasons and pick up your unique item.

It is 100% essential to attend this
