Thanks heaps Jeff,

Do you think you could perform the knife sharpening demo?

Only a couple of rules....

No bad language over the microphone lol

and stretch it out to last a little while. Even if you just repeat yourself several times lol

Hey all, please also see the 'SEAK Kayak Trolley' thread.

It is an additional AFO special offer for the night.

Michael

[Angus]

Nice one Michael.

This should be a good night!

Angus

[benno573]

[bootyinblue]

I will run in and buy a kayak trolley and be out of there again as soon as I can.

Nah only kidding, I will be there for a while, shirt, beanie and all.

Gus - Did you see my suggestion on previous page about some sort of a5 flyer for the punters?

So who is giving a cooking demo of all these filleted fish.

[jeff f]

still want to know what we're filleting

what knives, what sharpening gear etc

[bull frog]

I should be right to give you a hand, if you still need one.

I can fillet and skin but not that flash at sharpening knives.

Can you let me know what time, as i have to work that night.

[Nastymind]

Should all happen around 7pm.

Not exactly sure what fish yet.

Most likely popular local species such as Snapper.

As for sharpening gear and knives, i (personally) want to avoid writing off much stock just for a demonstration.

The more i can keep costs down on events like this, the longer my management will allow me to support AFO and conduct further events.

So i have a Svord filleting knife, a stone and a Diamond Sharpening steel (all products that Anaconda stock) that i will bring in.

As time gets closer, I will find out exactly what extra gear i have available to use off the shelf.

Come on mate, we're trying to get more people to come down... not scare them all away.

Jeff: :laugh:

Sounds like a good night.

[Nastymind]

We have already had plenty of customers asking what time the demonstration begins! [img size=320]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/DSC00030.jpg

[Nastymind]

Do you think i should add a photo of Benno and Jeff posing like two celebrities? [img size=240]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/DSC00031.jpg

Thats awesome Michael. Cheers.

[shortie]

Here is 1 of the poser in action.

[img size=150]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a13/rla72/IMG_0105.jpg

He had 12 fingers before this exercise now is down to 11.

[benno573]

i still have both middle ones to raise in your direction shortie... :whistle:

nasty - i had a bit of a brain wave. a lot of people have been asking me if i can teach them how to throw a cast net. maybe we could incorporate this into the night as well as part of the demos? :S

[Nastymind]

Nice thought Benno...

But I have already thought of that one and i plan to save it for another night where i'll organise a kids event.

A bit of castnet throwing lessons, rod and reel casting lessons and competitions, handlining, rigging demo's and maybe even bait presentation.

But, great initiative.

I love the enthusiasm and i will call on AFO assistance come the time.

Cheers,

Michael

[benno573]

nasty, any further idea as to what i'll be filleting other than a mack tuna kindly donated by jeff f?

[username_taken]

A flatty would be good if somebody can donate one. They can be quite tricky to fillet properly until you've done it a few times.

[benno573]

i have suggested flathead to michael. they are actually one of the easiest fish to fillet when you know how... i'll teach ya paul.

[chubbstar]

I'm thinking of hitting up Schultz to catch some Flathead for the demo;)

I would only be able to go on Wednesday though, so the fish might be a bit stiff by the time the demo is on:dry:

I'm looking forward to it, should be a good laugh:laugh:

Be careful with them knives fellah's;)

Looking forward to this now.

Should be a really good turn out!

mate it's about the only fish I can fillet without butchering it. I find them much easier than bream etc. For those that don't know one of the good techniques they can be pretty daunting.

[username_taken]

oh btw, if you can't catch them, you can buy them whole for only $40/kg at fresh fish co, new farm. bargain!

[Shorty]

There is also a top fresh fish shop at Underwood, about 10 minutes away from Anaconda Logan. Not sure what time they close though - but if you have to buy fish for the demo - that's where I'd get them from!!

[kriso]

i wanna see him fillet a bullrout with a butter knife hahahahha

i'll try and make you some fugu mate... are you game?

[Nastymind]

It's looking like we might have to buy the fish.

Thanks for the donation of the tuna Jeff. Very much appreciated.

If anyone has fish they are able to donate, please do.

[bretto]

I will head out tomorrow night to paradise point and see if I can get a flathead or two and possibly a bream. If I do/dont I will post first thing thursday morning.

[Angus]

Hey guys, this might be stating the obvious but ...

At this night there will surely be a lot of people who have not heard of AFO. So if anyone who has AFO merchandise (hat, shirt etc), I would love to see a show of AFO pride!

Cheers.
