queensland 2nd AFO Wanderers social Blakesleys aug31 to sep2nd

[kmcrosby78]

Will have a deckie spot for offshore fishing if the weather is good enough i've had a fella pull out so i will take ne of the guys with the smaller boats. Kelvin i think you were putting your hand up for one of the days give us a yell

OK, so now that I've finished doing cartwheels (not quite Olympic standard but reasonably elegantly given that I'm a member of the hundred club ....) around my loungeroom, I'll happily take you up on this Mark. I'll be heading over Friday arvo/early evening after work so hopefully the weather is good for the Saturday morning as I can't stay Sat night.

I've got plenty of hardwood (old bearers, etc from a carport). I'll check that it's not treated but 99% sure it is fine.

Mark, I have a TLD 20 loaded with 40lb braid and a Penn 330 GTi loaded with 30lb mono - which would be more suitable ......................

Thanks mate, looking forward to this even more now!!!!!

[mick fillet]

kmcrosby i still have your rod but protector you left in the boat remind me to give it to ya

[kmcrosby78]

Cool, cheers for that Mick. I just assumed it had made it's way overboard, never to be seen again!! How's your little fella going mate? Mines almost 9 months now and growing rapidly, will have a rod in his hand in no time!!!!

I'll be bringing the cricket set over again for another round of the AFO cricket one dayer

[Malcolm]

If I happen to be at straddie boatless that weekend would someone be able to pick me up from Dunwich and take me to the camp?

[tugger]

we can arrange that malcom

I will be coming on Friday night. Will be bring a 19L corni keg with either a Belgian Smoked Ale that is already made or a Amber Ale with Amarillo hops that I am about to put on. The amber ale is pretty standard but I have never tasted anything like the smoked ale, sort of has a hickory smell and taste to it.

Anyone have a preference. Looking at pouring it with one of the CO2 bulb keg charger's. Anyone used one before. Don't really want to bring the bottle over as it has a bit of rust already.

BJ most of us aren't fussy just surprise us :woohoo:

[Malcolm]

yes and BJ if the beer is gassed up you won't need much to pour/paw it.

Hell if we have to we will get the beer out.

Smoked Ale sounds good mmmmmm

[regulated]

lol It definetely tastes different. First taste I really was not sure about it but after a pint or two it went down pretty well. Not really a drink for VB or mild lager drinkers.

If the weather is average I'll take a second keg and make a real good night out of it.

Tinny is well on its way and should be able to go over there in the tinny if not will be going with Kurt thanks again mate. So me and sofie will definitely be there can't wait to finally attend one and meet everyone fingers crossed for good weather

[demarc]

Great news. Today I picked up my new GPS/Fishfinder from insurance. They replaced my old Globalmap 2400 with a Raymarine e7d and p48 600watt transducer.

So I'm definitely in for this trip, and I've booked the Friday off.

Hopefully I can learn to go offshore this weekend!

I'll have two spots on my boat too for others. I'll be leaving from Rudy Marrs, Jacobs Well on the Friday.

Really, really looking forward to this trip, as I'm still raw about missing the last one.

Did anyone organise a tender for the boats at all?

Not yet mate. A porter is about the only brew I have not made so far. It is on the cards. Think I saw a chocolate porter kit getting around somewhere. Might make it for the next one.

Mike fillet, do you mind if I follow you out from Rudys on the Friday? I'll be there at 8AM.

Does anyone have a route for the GPS they would be able to post up for anyone going over at night from the main ramps to Blakesley's. Most of it looks ok but I see on google maps there is a few channels you need to follow getting closer to the anchorage.

I should be able to convert them to whatever format people need for their GPS.

Cheers.

BJ

[tugger]

I'm going to leave at 8am as well to get there for the high tide

[tugger]

1.6kg whole chicken for the spit woudl be the minimum food requirements ross. anything else you want to bring is a bonus

[Baptism]

I'll look to do that closer to the date.

work has a funny way of calling me in when I least expect it,

wouldnt want to take up a deckie spot if someone else is definitely able to attend
