Yeah,

double ditto to that again.

As a newbie to the site, I felt a bit weird at first, but after chatting
with Steve, Brian, Ken, Barry, and a few others that I can't
remember their names, (sincerely sorry) I felt quite at ease... thanks.

Yep, Had a good time, and am looking forward to the next
M & G...

Luurvve the cap !!!

Thanks fellas. (and fellerettes)

p.s. Peter? You MUST keep us informed on how you're going
up at Torres Straight. Thats going to be quite an adventure.

Great night.
Roz was awarded Bell of the Ball ;D dont no why :-?
Leanne scored a shirt she'll have to grow into, but it would fit Brett nicely :o
Phill thought it was a Flea Market and tried peddling tackle :-?
Thanks to Matt for threating the Manager and giving us the room :-X
Brett and a few of the boys tried trolling in the carpark ::)
Santa turned up but forgot the beard :-*
Most of the lepers had to stand in the carpark for the night :-X
Ken and his group wore the Ausfish colours proudly ;)
Greg and the Flea bragged about the Luxury Liner all night ;D
I wonder if the Blackwatch made it out of the seaway sat' morn :-X
Herby ;) bragged about the contest they won up 1770 way
Steve was a pillar of domanince all night ;)
Good to see some first timer roll up and brag :-X
We've all been invited to Torres Strait for a fishing expedition ;)
The new Ausfish Stubby Coolers (on sale soon) kept the drink cooler longer ;)
Woke up in a strange house after the bloke in the santa hat poured too much Bundy down me gullet 8-)
Anyway enough garbage.
Merry Chrissy to All

[PinHead]

and webby bragging about going fishing in 600' of water down Tassie way....don't forget the pics for when you get back.

Have a Merry Xmas

[Lucky_Phill]

I met a few newbies as well, and the usual suspects were attendence.

Turned out pretty sedate, with no 'Ranger ' problems and no one being asked to leave. !

Thanks Steve for the nibblies which certainly helped the VB go down smoothly, and thanks to anyone else who shouted me a beer !

Numers were down, but good to see some travelling from a fair distance to put in a show.

Thanks also to the wives, fiance's and gf's who turned up to support the members.

OK, so Mark is Santa for next year ( may Barry could help with the beard ) and Phill has the Xmas tackle display, Brian is in control of black cans and Roz & Brett can do the tackle seminars !!! ;D

At least one Ausfisher had a plausible excuse for the no-show, Did ya get the motor on the rig fixed Jay ?

Another year has passed and Ausfish has grown beyond expectation, with numerous newbies who have good info and offer good advice.

Well done to all and hope to see you Ferets on the water in the new year. And Yes, The spotties are ON in Hervey Bay................Yee Haa !

Cheers Phill

Great night, I had a chat with everyone... I think.

Almost no voice the next day.

I will treasure my Ausfish Stubbie holder as I love my VB, and the Shirt will have to be taken in.

Everyone I met was so nice.

THANKYOU TO BRIAN, STEVE & PHILL, for organizing the evening.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Roz

[DAVE_S]

[Fishinmishin]

Cheers, Jay
