Thanks heaps to everyone who made this happen and especially @Danielle for the fantastic food!  It was great to see both new and old faces and hopefully next time I'll be able to meet plenty of others on AFO.  Thanks for the good chats and laughs - you all seem like a top bunch of blokes 
Also thanks to @Angus for bringing along a small tackle shop haha.  That seemed to keep everyone interested and the prices were second to none!
And @benno573 I believe the reason we were all looking at you with blank faces about the latin names was actually only because of your appalling prononcation

Really enjoyable arvo. Considering it is an online forum, people got on like they knew each other for years. I guess some of us have! Have a great Christmas break everyone.

Thanks to all involved with organizing and catering, was good to get out and amongst it and meet some people who I have spoken to or about many times but had never met.
 
it was kind of fun doing the trivia bit, glad most people got involved. I must say... Watching a group of fishos stare blankly at me when I pronounced a Latin name of a fish was quite entertaining...  well done to @DropBear for taking it out.

Yes that was an awesome day and thanks Danielle for the fantastic food.
It was good to finally put faces to some usernames as well, lets hope we can all get together again sometime soon for some fishing socials.
 

A big thank you to Danielle and everyone else for a great day. Old Scaley did a great job cooking Danielle's wonderfully prepared food.  Everyone was friendly and helpful and I look forward to the next one!!

Yep, awesome social today Danielle, well done for all of your hard work organising it and for the yummy food!!  Went down a treat. Good to finally meet a few people face to face and catch up with others where it's been far too long. Bring on Xmas holidays and plenty of fish for everyone in 2017!!

Good day. Thanks to all for the chuckles, handshakes, organisation, fine weather, Brag mat, tackle etc.
 

Thank you for all the time you put on to it Danielle.
Great to meet the new members and catch up with older ones again. 
Hope to get to many more. 

I literally did nothing, but thanks  
Was great to meet a few members in person at last, cheers to all for organising. 

Thank you to everyone who came along, was a great day!
I do not want to thank you for not volunteering to put sunscreen on my back which is now lobster-like.
Special mentions to Wayne, Kelvin, Steve, Peter, Sam, Benno for the help, unloading, loading, cooking and equipment!! Team effort couldn't have done it without you all.
Look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

PARTY TIME! If anyone has any dramas please give me a call, my number is on your invoice.
See you all soon!

Looks sunny and 31 Degrees until around 4pm when clouds start then possibility of a storm.
Ok Dauphinois AND Potato Salad made you ratbags. Bed is calling me now!

Plans have changed and I'll be there on Sunday now.

Only 3.5 weeks until our Christmas Do... 
Reminder, ALL WELCOME! Newest members please come along and meet some like-minded fisherfolk. If you wish to just stop by that's great, if you would like the catered lunch check the first post in this thread for details.
I have just been down to BCF to shop with my voucher for playing the game (went crazy... Pkt of Mullet fillets, pkt prawns and a red bull haha)... The manager and I always have a bit of a chat and there is a possibility of a LUCKY DOOR PRIZE WHICH I hope to secure this week!
Now for logistics... @Angus will we need some tables or if there likely to be one available on site? 
Could someone please bring along their big daddy esky? I will bring the ice... @kmcrosby78?
I haven't heard that anyone has any food intolerances or allergies but if you do please advise!
If anyone is planning a morning session out in the bay beforehand and you have room to take anyone along speak up, perfect opportunity for newbies to go Deckie. 
Hopefully the weather will co-operate but watch this space on the day for any updates.

Son Alex and a few of the other BFO kids of the day at the North Pine River cleanup with their haul.

Well it wasn't as clean as yours is @timtam_, but I found the picture of @benno573's mighty bay catch.
