Yeah top weekend away guys... Phil had the Jacobs Well Hilton set up early and a good crowd wasn't far behind. Bugger me it was cold though.

[MICHAELG]

Great day/nite thanks Phil :D. really good to put faces to names.
It is amazing how much info/advice/help you can get at these things.
The hilton was a top place to sleep. felt a little off this morning tho, must have been the prawns cooked in Green death :o
Scotty for those couple of beers & good nettin, thanks

Michael

[Lucky_Phill]

Thanks for the pics Peter.

Well Rob, if you had brought a jumper along instead of a flanney, it may have not been so cold for ya ;D

In fact people, it was not cold at all. The wind dropped out just after dark and the camp site was very cosey. And to those who pooh poohed my electric bar heater, it certainly helped my tootsies ! As well as the Uggies.

To round up the participants ( and forgive me if I missed ya out, but it was a good roll up and lots of new faces ).

Lucky _ me ( phill )

with Craigie and Sav on the houseboat sitting in Tiger Mullet channel.

I still find it amazing that so many people can get together, who really do not know each other, but have a common thread and can pass on info, tips, stories etc with the frankness of an innocent child. Jeez, fellas, no EGO's here at Ausfish ! Never met so many fishers willing to put their hands up for a fishing trip that yeilded NIL, but in the same breath get very exicted about that 1 good fish. Yes , Jeff ( propdinger ) bloody well done on that Snapper.

To he guys that actually went out and caught a fish, ONYA !

A special thanks to Nugget & Webby for turning up and answering any questions and giving out info etc.

This has beeen by far, the best rollup for a M & G.

So, I have to be frank ( hey fellas ) so here is the list of people that didn't turn up for whatever reason :-

Mr Steve Brown ::)
Big_D
Goanna
bugman
jonno
Touchy ( next one Fred, we'll get that new hip oiled up properly eh ? )

need I go on, you people know who you are. Frank, me ! ?

Leftovers from the night were:-

Webby's chair and camera
Scotty's or Michael's black mug
pinheads Green Ginger Wine ( thank you ;) )

For those who attended, please post your thoughts, and be nice.

For the rest who want to see THAT pic that Peter can't put up, pm him with ya email add, I'm sure he'll send it to ya.

And the last word goes to, The Victory Fishing Club who were participating in the Telegraph Shield competition at the Pin on Saturday night, well done, winners again for the 7th Year in a row. The average catch for these guys was around the 30 plus Bream with a couple getting 60+.

OK< this is the last word.

Anyone want to buy a mini concrete mixer that doubles as a seat, esky and ? doh !

[PinHead]

Thanks Phil..top effort..had a ball. The Grren Ginger is all yours mate..I have plenty of it here...none for Michael..he drinks a bit too much and blames Mr Stones and a few prawns...sheesh.
Great to put faces to names but be buggered if I will remember too many of them.

[Maria]

First of all, a big thanks to Phill for the organising side of things - although no fish, was still good to have somewhere to come along to and meet those who attended. Furthermore, a big thanks to everyone who turned up. Although we (Rob, Mick and myself) didn't hang around for long, it was still great to briefly meet those who attended.

Weather was forecast to be shithouse so not much fishing gear was packed. As luck would have it, the weather died in the ass something fierce, but we had no fishing gear to fish with when it did.

The night on South Straddy was great. Little chilly, but nothing to complain about.

Thanks again everyone.

Ben

[PinHead]

Phil...I don't want the mini cement mixer come everything..I bet I could pick one up at a garage sale for about 5 bucks

[MICHAELG]

Phil
You can keep my cup until next M&G.
I didnt drink that much really, just a little de-hydrated from fishing for moby dick

Scotty- I found your Origin hat in the boat
Michael

[MTpockets]

Apoligies too all for not making it. Good old flu hit me at work friday night and thought it best to stay home. Will meet up with all next one.
cheers

[Reefmaster]

Well firstly i think Phill should be praised for his super effort for the whole event. Cheers Phill. It was good to put some new faces to names and have a chat to fellow fishos.It was a good turn out which made the M&G worth while and all Phills hard work was not put to waste. But i must say out of over 5000 members that only approx 25 can turn up i think is alittle poor you ausfish blokes. Dont think because you dont know anyone that you will feel uncomfortable and leftout because i can tell you its far from that and everyone gets along and enjoys the event. So next time come along and meet some of the Ausfish gang.

Cheers Greg

[propdinger]

You're a character and always a smile on your dial. ;D

Rob

[ba229]

Just reading this post i said to the missus that i would love to attend a M and G one day. Only about 1000km to travel?

Oh well. I'm sure it will happen one day though so look out ;D

[Billo]

spewing i didn't get there :( ....drank too much and stayed at Noosa saturday night ...( DAMN YOU BUNDY ;D )

Good to hear you fellas had a blast .,.i'll be at the next meet with bells on

[snappa]

ausfishers

i will try and get over my shyness and come along to the next

[webby]

I just hope there's no dirty picture on my camera ;D
Should ave stayed for bed and brekkie and a few cuddles :-X by the sounds :-X
Once again "Mr Organized" had everything, but the barmaids on hand, but then again after seeing some of you mob, they would have bolted. ;D
But great to meet some of the new faces, and some of the very old ones :-X
Phil and i did a quick trip in the shanky hoe (bloody tinnies and the spray) down to tiger mullet to have a rumbo with cragie and sav, and see there seconded houseboat high and dry. ;D
Get used to them Greg, there's usually a lot of talk and no action :-X
So much wanted to meet your missus Adam :P
Drop round and see you this week Phill and confiscated my gear back off you, otherwise it'll end up at fraser ;D
regards

[Burley_Boy]

Sounds like you had fun, If I hear about it in time I'd love to turn up next time. If I get the missus to carry the tent and she'll qualify for a Swedish backpacker. Hell, so will all the kids if I put them to work as they've got dual citizenship....
So when's the next one?

[yuankia]

dang... >:( if only it wasn't the holiday periods. looking forward to turning up at the next one already

[spindles]

Good to put faces to names but i'll have to go to the next M&G to be able to remember them but I had a great time. I had tailor for breakfast and lunch sunday now i am ready to go again. much thanks to chris to taking me out, i thoroughly enjoyed it but you cannot always predict the wind. Still... looking to the next M&G.
spindles.

[bugman]

Well I couldn't make it for obvious reason but I was thinking of you at 3:30am Phil hence the text message. ;)

If you had a decent phone I could have sent you the photo of the young dancing lady I'd just snapped - she would have been very cold down the pin if you know what I mean ;D

Didn't end up doing the Bucks boat run because of too many people but needless to say it ended in fine style with me waking up in the front seat of a car at Paddington at around 7:00am :-X

All good harmless fun probably on a par with the M&G.

[CHRIS_aka_GWH]

impressive structure ya made phil -wish I had more time to spend there

sorry 'bout the brief intros was chasing the sun & a skipping spindles it turned out as well #;D


... much thanks to chris to taking me out, i thoroughly enjoyed it ...

thanks for the company spindles - shame ya broke the golden rule - outfishing the skipper. #;)

we ended up not being able to fix the top runner on craigs rod that was causing him all those hassles - not cause we couldn't do it - we couldn't find it !!!!! The top half of his rod flew out of the back of his ute on the motorway #:-/

we ended up with 9 tailor & 2 bream from the surf. All tailor around the kilo mark biggest went 1.3kg. Scott caught a horse sea bream at 1.2kg+. The other bream was 890g.

The tailor were in & out of the gutter but not holding. As with fish doing that they were hitting the baits running at the beach & I was having a prick of a time with the new stick setting a hook - then ripped the hooks clean out of a couple with its extra grunt. I must get out more often - practice makes perfect ::) ;)

Till next time.

seeyainthesurf,

chris

[jeffo]

[CHRIS_aka_GWH]

If anyone's willing to set it up I can provide some help on the island as I'll be over early this year doing some scouting - number 8 friggin 5 friggin 6 ain't ever gonna come out of that barrel - I think I'll have to win a prize if I'm going to get one - like happens in a fishing comp y'know ???
