Hi Norm, when I get a chance in one of the upcoming holidays I'll try to make it to one of the meetings as I'm very keen to learn more about fly fishing (especially for bass and togas ). It was also great to bump into you today even if we did get a donut :whistle:

Hey all

Next meeting is on Wednesday 16th Oct.

With Goldie season around the corner and the Variety Childrens comp on soon we have some presentations on Toga and Goldens. Do we dump the Destroyer and go for the Bushpig Boney. Yes folks, there will probably be controversy as well, raffle and a BBQ (maybe even chicken kebabs ).

Time as usual 6:30pm.

See you there.

Thanks,

James

Hey All

State of Origin special meeting on tonight.

We'll be tying up some Cod flies for next weeks trip to Glenlyon and casting tuition for those who care less about Blue V Maroon.

Cheers

The club's AGM is on tomorrow night. After the formal stuff is over, we'll be raffling off some great prizes, including club logo inscribed fly boxes etc.

We will also be outlining the club trips for the following year. In addition, Peter Morse will be up in September as our guest for a weekends casting clinic. So stay tuned.

Sausage sizzle starts at 6:30pm, and formalities at 7pm.

Dues are $55 for those who are thinking of joining.

Remember, the interwebs can tell you where to fish but they can't teach you how to cast, that's what's so good about a club (IMHO).

Cheers and beers

Hi all

This week we will have a focus on basic rig setup. Line, leaders, knots etc. As we have a few new members (awesome!!) it would be good get the basics sorted out.

The Brisbane River Snapper outing was cancelled due to the weather so we need to organise another Sunday.

A reminder that fees are due in the next week also.

As usual we will be having a cast as well.

Chris Waldrop has come up with a great idea for a species competition, so lets "workshop" it fellas.

Looking forward to seeing many of you this Wednesday.

Cheers

Team BFFC

P.S.And another thing. Nial Logan is planning to host a Christmas Island trip in August next year and was hoping it could also count as a club trip. Two so far have signed up, so have a think about it. It really is a top ten bucket list destination!!!!

Topic of the night - CXI

Nial Logan has been taking groups to this Bonefish mecca for years now. And as we organising a club trip for next July, there’s no time like the present to start saving and getting organised. Nial will give us lowdown on tackle, tactics and broad spectrum antibiotics.

September Club Trip, Bribie Island Flathead

Sunday (Sept 21st) following the club meeting we will be fishing for flathead.

Meet at the Air Sea Rescue Boat Ramp at 7:00am for a 7:30am departure.

For those on foot, Whitepatch or the flats around Wellsby has some flathead spots and those with boats will probably head up there anyway.

Here are some images showing where we will be fishing, further details / directions will be provided at the club meeting.

We’ll meet back at the Air Sea Rescue at 12:30pm for a BBQ. Please notify if you want some food and drink.

PS. If you haven’t paid dues yet, this is your last chance before we send the fellas over.
