King of the pin

[Aaron H]

Well my mate has suckered me into entering King of the pin this weekend (I wanted to go to Lenthalls). Anyone else flying the flag for AFO down there?

Any tips on fishing the pin? (My mate grew up fishing down there so reckons hes got the spots sussed)

I have never fished there, but I had never really fished the Brisbane river until the classic and got 2nd in the Bream section. Hoping for beginners luck again:laugh:

Aaron would you mind whacking up some dates my memory is shot.

If im free ill try my best to be there. (Assuming i can crew with someone).

Cheers.

Aaron at the moment there are some big bream being caught along kalinga bank, short and crusoe islands and cobby passage which is my favourite spot.

We are spending another weekend down there next weekend on a houseboat fishing around cobby and slipping sands. I Spent a weekend down there a couple of months ago on a houseboat and the report is on this site if you want to have a look.

Also i reliable source has told me that the tailor have been showing up in large numbers throughout the pin, so i cant wait til next weekend:)

Good luck

troy.

Maybe sometime this winter we can organise our own afo trip down the pin. this could be a day where we could have our own little comp or a weekend on a housboat??

If we were able to get enough people for a houseboat we only need to give a few weeks notice to the houseboat company. the approx cost for a weekend would be around 100 bucks each if we got a full boat.
