Welcome welcome, i used to be at uq the past couple years but i changed recently.

Send Angus, Kiara_poltergeist, Eug or myself a pm and we'll try to sort out a river session around the uq area?

G'day Jimbo, welcome aboard and good to see another yakker to join our Tupperware Navy. What sort of yak do you have and what are you studying at UQ. I hope it's nothing too taxing, you don't want it to get in the way of your fishing.

welcome there's a few spots towards west end to city which can fish well... has been a little touch and go since the floods but on the mend.

hey, back home i did a lot of seakayaking but over here, im in the UQ canoeing/kayaking club which gives me plenty of choices on what to kayak in (also cheaper! ) and i also instruct in the city on kangaroo point. im doing International Relations along with spanish (lot of reading, but perfect to do on the bank when the fishing a bit slow)

[kiara_poltegerist]

hi dude. how're you doing. nice to see another yank in st lucia. too many californians . one of my mates just went back to lafayette, AL. he did pretty well on the fish in the river, so i dont see why you shouldn't too. hehe

anyway, hit me up with a PM when you're settled in and i'll see if i can tee up a session with eug and 51mple sometime

Hey mate also check out the more social events that we run at AFO.

The Winter Camp and State OF Origin namely.

Getting along to one of these will really open your eyes to what the community had to offer. In addition they are great comps aimed at being fun as well as competitive.

There are almost always deckie spots available for said events although this might not be required if you have a fishing kayak.

Cheers mate and welcome again.

Angus
