AFO Wanderers fishing social at lake Somerset

[tugger]

On the 10th to the 12th of september the AFO Wanderers group are heading up to lake somerset boating and camping for the weekend this social is open to anyone from AFO and their freinds. Myself along with a few others will get up there on the thursday before and we have 3 large camp sites booked at somerset village camp grounds which is located just below the dam wall on esk somerset rd. Our camp sites will be up near the shop around the biggest shelter which has 4 tables under it and the sites will have witches hats around them for us to identify.

Everyone are welcome to join us and these trips have been a good introduction if you have not joined a AFO event before. We will be running plenty of crayfish pots for redclaw in the dam and doing the odd bit of fishing and you can join us around the bbq to sample these crays at the end of the day.

Bring the brag mats and we'll see who will take out the largest redclaw and bass by noon sunday for this social and i will posts results on return from the lake. There will be no areas resricted for fishing or traping for this social in the dam or the stanley river behind camp other than sticking to qld freshwater fishing laws and you can start fishing once you get settled at camp even through the week if you get up there early. Photo of bass and redclaw on a good measuring device that is clear enough will suffice for this social.

The camp has hot showers, toilets, a large covered seating and table area in our camp sites and if you run out of any esentials there is a shop within 100m from camp.There is a fire place and most of us are bringing firewood so don't forget the folding chair and marshmellows for the kids. There is no need to book a site that has already been taken care of so come one come all

Sweet as a Nut, Mate (More Pommy Speak!), I'll be sporting this if it turns up in time.......

[MoparKevUk]

And here's the back!

[dassa]

Have a good weekend boys and girls but sorry I have to work the next 3 saturday nights starting next week. That is a great looking shirt kev and any for sale yet or is the the 1 and only for now.

[ellicat]

Love the shirt, Kev.

Just a heads up on the site address though - there is no "online" it's just www.australianfishing.com.au

What's the small print on the back say ?

[tugger]

i think it is all the places we've camped at so far as a group in small print but i can't make out all of it

[MoparKevUk]

If you stick australianfishingonline.com.au in yer browser it comes here anyway and it's more asthetically pleasing on the shirt.....1 off at the moment, Dassa, will wait and see what the quality is like. Designed it on the Tee Junction site. http://www.teejunction.com.au/ Too expensive to sell on though, eh? This ones coming in at approx $46.....
