Hey mate. Not sure what launching at the site is like.

If your getting there around midday, can I assume you 2 already have SIP's?

Angus

[polyphonic]

As much as I'd love to win one of those great Anaconda prizes, I also want to cross off a couple of firsts:

First Bass/Yella on popper/surface & First Bass/Yella on SP.

And a COD!!!!

Anybody else looking to score some firsts on the weekend?

I've been out today and restocked on some lures (thanks to NPD aka "the lure-eater")

Now I've got poppers, pushers, bibless cranks, shallow and deep divers, SPs / jigheads of all shape and size, spinnerbaits and slugs...I think I am addicted:blink: :blush: :silly:

Really looking forward to the weekend (can u tell:P )

Rocket

PS some great specials on lures at Amart Strathpine for those northsiders...Ausspin 2 for $15, Srikepro 2 for $15, some Halco for $5 etc.

[Aaron H]

[kriso]

[Angus]

Prize will be a AFO merchandise pack including:

AFO Beenie.

AFO Jacket.

AFO Stickers.

AFO Shirt.

AFO Hat.

Free AFO membership JK.

Can someone answer my question in regards to if we need to bring food or not please?

Alrighty so seeing this is the first afo sleep over I've been on I forgot to ask if food is provided, coffee for the mornings, just wondering if I need to duck to the shops tonight.

[kriso]

thought so

Thanks Angus

Re photos of fish caught do we need to bring along the computer disc for our camera so they can be downloaded. I have a olympus stylus 720sw and a canon eos rebel digital. Will have to search for discs if needed.

Cheers

Ray

[rayke1938]

Another thought

Dont forget to charge your cameras and mobile tonight.

Cheers

Ray

[MichaelJ]

Dont worry mate. As long as I can see the picture. Most of them can zoom in as well for clarification.

Cheers.

[Rocket75]

Don't forget your sleeping bags/sheets + blankets and pillow, it's going to be pretty cold out there I reckon!

[Aaron H]

How many are going to pitch tents? Or is it just me:unsure:

[kreel]

Finished work for the week. Mood is excellent after we beat the Mexicans last night. Must remember to leave pants at home (Kriso's instructions! :woohoo: ). Some lure shopping tonight or in the am :woohoo: . Back up the truck to the bottlo for some supplies :woohoo: and I'm just about ready.

That's a bit personal Aaron, I get pretty excited about fishing and sometimes early in the morning .... oh! you meant tent, tents. :blush:

[Angus]

Kreel: Hahahaha.

Aaron, I know at least one other couple are. And I think Benno was as well.

IF its insanely freeezing, there will be enough indoor bunks fdor all.

Angus

[Do$tylz]

Good luck guys and gals with the fishing. Look forwards to the report when you get back. Someone sink a beer for me... I'll be working.
