AFO Kayak Camp

[Angus]

Hey everyone.

For those interested in attending this event the date has been set. I will post more information as I get it.

Long story short though, we will fish from about 10-3 saturday (better time in winter anyway) and then paddle to the camp site and set up. The the next day we can start as early as we like and fish till midday. We are working on a few sponsors and it looks like Viking is already onboard.

Due you camp site availabilty and previous Sports Tuition commitments the date hass been pushed back a week to the 17th & 18th of May.

If you have already signed up please be aware of this date change.

Should be awesome guys.

I'll be there for sure. Maybe the wife as well if she can get out of work. Dam has been fishing well on all reports so lets hope it continues into the early winter. Heading out there again 5am on saturday till noonish and am going to target some saratoga.

[Biggles]

I'm interested in this one too. Would like to get some more info though, before I start begging permission from SWMBO for a weekend away. Is it at Maroon or Hinze? (Maroon is mentioned in this thread but when you look at attend an event it says Hinze).

Where are we camping, costs etc?

[jeff f]

due to angus' kind offer of the use of his spare yak

i'm in :woohoo:

i'll probably provide you all with some entertainment trying to stay upright

[Brian D]

Not Good timing for me, I have the auditor in my office and it's end of year (30/4/8). I'll see what I can do but it's only a slim chance for me. Even if I just turn up for the weekend I'll be head fried with eyes rolling in oposite directions.

[Aaron H]

I need to find out the cost before I can commit mate (First thing the finance manager of my house will ask:( ). I don't think its been mentioned has it?

[Terry H]

lazybugger: It's Hinze, sorry for the confusion.

Winter camp is at Maroon.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[James W]

Is it not too cold to be paddling a yak around? I mean like the cold water on the jewels is a concern? :S

Has anyone done that before?:ohmy:
