[Angus]

Dear Team!

Just advising of another BFo swap meet as our last one was such a success.

Where: Sherwood Aboretum

When: 21st November

Time: 7:00am

Optional: BYO BBQ Breakfast

I will have the AFO tourny shirts for pick up for those that can make it as well.

So if you want to offload some gear, get rid of excess stock or pick up a bargain.... Be there!

Feel free to post up in this thread if you are keen to come and what you may have!

Cheers.

Hey Angus, I notice this park is near the Bris River, are there any fishable spots landbased there or a boat reamp?

[Keen-as-fisho]

Deffinetly will not be able to make, I'll probably be too pissed to stand celebrating dads 50th.

[TheLazyboy]

How big is it? Thinking of coming

Rod there is a very fishable pontoon in the park. You could easily launch a yak there

There is no boat ramp. Indooroopilly or Fig Tree Pocket would be the closest.

TO be completely honest, although there is a good land based option I did not really choose this location for its fishing. This decision was based on the last swap meet. Most people really were there to catch up, socialise and get rid of or aqquire gear. Considering this I chose a place highly suited to large numbers in a great location.

I have also spoken to Rob from Searing Tackle and I will be representing him there with 100's of Damiki products at insanely low prices

Cheers.

[Davo_Dinkum]

sounds good .

like the spot chosen ,closer for the south side / Ipswich people .

[Angus]

How big is it? Thinking of coming

As big as we can make it!

All up to members I guess.

Last time it was fairly big with a lot of gear changing hands.

This time I will actually be repping for Rob from Searing with literally hundreds of Damiki products available at insanely low prices. More on that when I get the list of stuff that will be available.

Angus

[kriso]

[Nickers]

Wohoo... on our side of town, I might even come to this one (not that i have any fishing gear to swap.. but would be happy to give away some of Tom's! :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: )

Based on past examples the AFO epxerience does improve after being to one or more of the events/socials.

Well kind of like a carf boot sale.

Bring what you want to offload, trade and some cash in case anything catches your eye.

Catch up with mates, talk fishing.

Good morning

Angus

[tacklebox]

i've been trying to get to a AFO event/social for a while now and i wanted to make this one but its on the day after my brothers 30th party down the goldie so i am no chance of being back in brisbane by 7 or 8 or even noon.

i was hoping to get down there and meet some fellow AFOer's and pick up my shirt and maybe some gear. next time.

[Angus]

Shame Neal.

There will always be a next time though

[bigtez]

Here is a list of what I can bring. If you are after a bimini top you will need to know the width of your boat where the top will mount. The budget and deluxe top are 1m tall from the mount point and 1.8m long. Have also put up some prices and retail prices in brackets, hope this is ok.

Cheers

[bigtez]

Should also have a Daiwa Alphas

[robin]

If anyone is going to sell a kayak trolley that will be great, as i really don't want to be paying over $100 for one, and im too lazy to make one myself.
