2011 Nordic Stage State Of Origin approaching!

[Angus]

After the 2011 Winter Camp I am really looking forward to the State Of Origin this year. Another very social event although quite a bit more competitive as well.

Just wondering if anyone else is registering for this that has not done so yet?

For anyone interested in breaking into the AFO scene this event is ideal as there is A LOT of fishing but also a fair bit of chin wagging around the camp site and friendly banter.

To register, review prize lists, rules etc go to the Competitions Tab at the top of the page and scroll down to "State Of Origin".

Cheers.

Angus

[adambris]

No go for me. Once again work has decided I am needed elsewhere....as per usual. Have fun though, should be a ripper weekend.

Cheers,

Ryan.

Im up for this, have asked Deno to be my fishing partner,hope he's a queenslander.

Week after the flathead classic so there will be a few flathead feeling sorry for themselves.

[AZZA]

I am hoping to make it but my work load is so hectic at the moment it will be a wait and see as we get close to the day.

[crazywalrus]

i am there with the boys, bring it on

[Manni79]

Some more campfire shenanigans !!

[Surfingant]

Righto, I'm gonna try and get to this now. Just trying to talk the better half round Might have to ring and see if any cabins are left

[Angus]

Any cabins left Ant?

[Joycey67]

Im in Angus. This will be might first AFO event so looking forward to it. Managed to get my best mate to join AFO on Monday as well so he is in also. Was thinking we are going to camp on Crusoe or South Straddy. A Queenslander & a New South Welshman fishing from the same boat. Should be interesting. Might be some dropped fish while netting the others catch Im tipping. Lol. Its on like donkey kong!!!!

hahaha were coming to get you boys

[fishingnut]

:dry: :S

Looking at the entries I think you may need to rustle up a few more blues!

Angus

[Do$tylz]

for those who are considering going fishing down the coast at all during anytime of the comp should really just enter. The amount of people I've spoken to post comp that if they had registered, they would have won is stupid.

even if its a last minute call to go fishing, put your entry and registration in. You're at no disadvantage if you don't stay overnight. Thats just the social part...everyone is too busy boozing.

Kris is in a cabin with me.

[Manni79]

Angus

We have enough we'll still WIN !!

Sorry mate to be honest I've had a hectic couple of weeks and completely forgot to check :blush: I'll try and call tomorrow to check

[viper83]

Go QLD lol

[Surfingant]

Just checked with jwtp and they have 1 cabin left but it will be a bit out of my price range so I think I will just enter and decide on whether I am going to stay at the park in a tent, home or elsewhere for the comp. There were plenty of powered and unpowered camp sites.

[Surfingant]

Woohoo! Now registered, suppose I'd better pay up and try to work out a few areas to fish so I can be in with a chance, any suggestions are highly apprciated as I have not really explored the area.

[fergie]

just upgraded the tent site to a cabin :woohoo:

bring on the easy livin

last cabin too!!

[kriso]

[Angus]

Awesome Cameron.

Quite a few entries over the last couple of days with plenty more slackers assuring me of their attendance so it should be a good one!

NSWelshman are not that hard to bring down...

[Angus]

Over 30 registrants now guys.

There are more Qlders that NSWelshman but not by stupid numbers. I am sure they would appreciate the support though!

The HQ is shaping up to be a great area and I am sure a lot of laughs will be had.

[benno573]

Awesome Mick! Glad you will be there. The line up is great it will be one of those very memorable events.

If you are new to or just wanting to get in more with some of the AFO regulars and personalities can I strongly suggest you enter this.

I had one person mention they didnt think they were a good enough angler which is just not good enough There are lucky door prizes and some random captures always take out a place. Not to mention a lot of socialising and from experience some firm fishing friendships forged.

Really looking forward to fishing this! Just a quick question, do we have to be at Friday mornings briefing or is there one every day? What's the go? I'll probably organise to have Friday off anyway to maximize fishing time

Its all good if you rock up Saturday we will give another briefing.

The main advantage of being there friday I guess is more fishing time!
