2011 State of Origin

[Travis]

Are the rumours true about the location for origin this year being at bribie?

[John]

All event information will be announced soon

[straddiebrad]

All event information will be announced soon

i thought there was going to be a few locations to choose from is this true?

[noname]

i heard in the mail also it was at bribie! i was thinkin of the pin, as it's close for ppl to travel from nsw, and has a few options open to every 1.

2nd that a lot of good spots down there witch ever the way the winds blowin this would be a good choice.

[crazywalrus]

i reckon camping at Jacob's Well and fishing the Pin would be awesome. So many options down that way

[Shimanobwoie]

Bribie sounds alot better for me alot closer

The pin not so much i would have no way of getting down there unless i could hitch a ride with a fellow afo member

[noname]

i dont think places are chosen because they are close to your place, people travel hours to go to some of these events, so how about you think of those too, your an hour away? and the pin area offers so many options. you have to the north, the bay islands all the way to the broadwater. and everywhere in between.

[straddiebrad]

i think the spot they choose will change a few peoples minds on if the go or not time will tell.

[Davo_Dinkum]

don't care where they chose.

the guys will consider lots of thing to chose where the event is held .

it been at Brunswick heads twice, which is a big drive for a lot of us.a lot of people went ,some from inland Queensland ,that's a mega drive for them .

a great thing about these events is that u go some where different ,from where u would usually camp and fish .

Would like me to re-phrase it for you noname.

Depending on where the location for the 2011 state of origin is held will deteremind if i enter as an angler or not. If it were to be at bribie island and have a great chance to getting possibly a place as i have fished that area before and have no experience with the Jumpinpin/Jacobs Well area.

shimanobrowie i dont think you get it buddy ,state of origin isnt about the individual doing well in return to score prizes for them selves,Mate its all about team work its a team event.oh and there are team building exersises held hourly at these sort of events morepiss morepiss:lol:

[Keen-as-fisho]

Davo's on the money. I liked Brunswick because I had never been and it was a great fishery. I don't like Bribi and if it is held there I wont attend (BUT THATS MY OPION). The Jacobs well idea is great, so many options there and it is localish to those that need to travel although don't forget that Bruns is a fair travel for most of us from Brisbane, including the organisers.

[neal82]

Don't care where it is, i'll be there! as long is its not in August as thats my Bass Pro Shopping spree month this year! may even take a few orders for small things if i can fit them in my suitcase.

[Malcolm]

Camping at or very near the headquarters and fishing grounds is all I want

[Angus]

Do not plan anything based on rumour. Nothing is set in stone until the details are released.

Cheers.

its about haveing a good time ,catching up ,haveing a fish for your state .

yeah pretty much what mick said .

the prizes are just something nice

[bootyinblue]

Will give the locals a heads up in time to sell up prior........

[crazywalrus]

for me the strength of this event is that we all camp together. So where it is held i think should be determined by the availability of a good campsite. Brunswick heads was awesome and to tell the truth I would be happy to have it held there again. I loved it. Like all events on AFO I go for the social i think than the fishing. Camping brings out the best in people and encourages folks to get down and tell stories.

[Young_fella]

:whistle:

I don't mind where it is. A good campsite where everyone can get together is a must though.

Somewhere where there can be loud malcoms, lels and naked kevs.

I'll bring the guitar again.

[ellicat]

Texas has a lot of camping and river....and only one copper (as long as booty doesn't come) :lol:

[Lozzel]

Suits me Elli, not as far for me to drive :whistle: :lol:

Doesnt realy bother me where it is, I just go for the social side and catch up with friends that I havn't seen for a year or so.

Anyhow cant remember how to fish these days

See Yas there, whenever it is on..

An inland location would certainly different.

[tomca]

it would be awesome to have one of these events at coolmunda or glen lyon, not SoO specifically but a social

[Young_fella]

Yeah! imagine the points you'd get for catching bream or flathead. :woohoo: :silly:

[kreel]

I have it on very weak supposition that it will be held in a neutral location somewhere in New Zilund.

I like the idea, but will we have enough time to learn the language?

[tugger]

The jumpinpin area would be nicely sheltered if the weather decides to blow and there are great land based options down at jacobs well with the jetty there and a nice beach that runs down to a creek mouth. Plenty of camping with a caravan park right next to the ramp and plenty of islands to hunt around for boats and kayaks alike, only 1 hour from the nsw border but i think the fact it would be the largest area that is most sheltered that would be its real value

just my 2 cents worth

[Manni79]

I've never been but reckon it would be good to get out, meet a buch of AFO'ers, fish a new place, and sink a few cans... bring on the road trip

P.S is it boat based only, or land based welcome?

[crazywalrus]

Manni all are welcome - land based can fish, but with all AFO events deckie spots are offered so you nay be lucky and be able to jump aboard a boat.

Hey Manni even some of us catch jack's at the last one but because the queenslanders weren'nt good enough to catch one they didn't count for points :evil: :evil:

[Travis]

i dont care where it is, same structure as bruns is the go i rekkon where HQ is at a campground that you can drive to, so everyone is at the same place... or whats the point of the whole team thing... bribie could work if it were at donnybrook camp grounds or similar, just gotta watch the tides unless were allowd to tie boats to the jetty at the store who runs the grounds, there is a ramp onsite anyway if not, grounds arent that big tho i dont know how many they could cater for

[maxi]

i agree with trav...

somewhere similar to a bruns setup would be great ..

i missed out last year but at this stage its looking good for me this yr ... yaaa !!!!

[dassa]

Well why am I the voice of reason it hurts!As travis has said I don't care where it held but as a team event we need the cater for boaties,the tupperware navy,land based fisho's and those,how do we say lets call them the dinkum's (sorry davo) :silly: it's those that want to fish but but get so shit faced to fish and suffer all weekend from hangovers but have a great weekend with out even catching a fish.

[Travis]

in your case, get shitfaced and catch jacks

Mate no question your origin is NSW I'm from the gong and lived here 20yrs this year,once a cockroach always a cockroach so don't let those filthy cane toads try and brain wash you :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Manni79]

hahahaha very true !!

[noname]

just a thought, about rainbow beach, i know it's a drive oh but what a great part of the world to visit, get drunk at, and fish at, has a large diversity of species to be had by all sorts of boat sizes to offshore to gettin mackrel in protected waters to snapper inside the protected waterways, and not to mention crabbing, there is na campsite at carlo point caravan park which just happend to have a boat ramp right beside it and it'a a beauty too, suitable for all sizes of boats, speed jumps, whatever. might have to do a pre fish with some of the suspects, and i like the fact you only have to go out 3 km from the bar to catch quality fish, but the bar can bite there, thats the only downfall really. that damn bar, it is long and can be really dangerous, food for thought.
