By the way.

Jeff Flynn i think is borrowing my Second Profish. However, I will still have 2 spare Espri's if anyone is keen. They will have to pick them up from my place, but they have seats, rod holders etc.

Let me know ASAP as it will be first in best dressed so to speak.

Cheers.

In addition to my 2 spare Espri's, Steve Wilkes has contacted me and said that BLA can supply another 6-8 Ocean Kayaks for the camp.

Not sure Jeff, I emailed Mal from Hobie the other day telling him I was coming up then and his reply didnt make mention of it, he just said the demo takes about 15mins or so out on the lake.

Maybe I should double check hey!!!!!!

Cheers for the heads up

[Beefa]

Angus

[Angus]

Just in response to a question in another thread, there will be some tents available but in limted numbers.

Angus

[STU]

So do you have yaks available for the yakless people?

[bretto]

I'll be there mate. Just gotta raise the funds.

Went and had a fish yesterday morning on the western arm and got two silvers a yella and two bass all in the same spot within 45 minutes on the same lure. A manns 5+ in pink and black. A good sign for the camp.Sorry no photos as it was looking like raining so the camera stayed at home.

[Angus]

Bretto: Mate thats awesome. Thats a fantastic mixed bag for Hinze and 1 silver let alone 2 on lure is rare!

STU: Mate there are anbout 10 proper tricked up fishing Kayaks available. About 4 are already spoken for but there a few left if you are keen.

Angus

[Angus]

Cheers

Angus
