Meet and Greet at Bli Bli

[TIM-DONSELAAR]

Just a quick report ;)


Amanda and I fished the Bli Bli fishing park from 4am till around 11am

I landed 2 barra on a gulp 3" pumpkinseed minnow grub and lost a nice one using the pellets they give you at the park

Amanda landed 1 using a pellet

We had a good time but couldnt fish all day as we have to do the housework this arvo :'( :'(

cheers tim :)

My two girls had a ball and cracked a Barra each [smiley=laola.gif].
We too had prior engagements and could only give it a few hours but my youngest is already at me as to when we are going next

Cheers

Nice fish there TimD how Much did they charge to fish and can you use your own gear?

[masterdusky]

nice fish mate, did u use ur own gear ??? :D

[Just_chips]

I also took the opportunity to head up to the M & G for a fish with 2 of my kids. Conditions were tough with a stiff sou-easter causing a fair bit of heartache but we still managed to land a fish or two and have a couple jump off. Here is a pick of a very exited little bloke holding a fish I hooked on a 4" chartreuse powerbait and then I let him play it in.

Cheers Kev

Geday Tim & Amanda ,
Good to see that you guys got a few , Nice one Amanda .

I went from 4 to 9 am and ended up with Zip :'(
Decided that I'd stick with plastics for the session . but even though you scored 2 on the pumpinseeds , the majority that I saw caught were on the pellets .

It was still an enjoyable morning & good to catch up with some more of the members .

Foggy got a reasonable one just after dawn , on the Big Boys pond on a livie .

A few photo's follow .

[searaider]

Geday Nuggstar ,
Sounds like I should have stuck it out .
What were you getting them on ?

[nuggstar]

it has been doing realy well in the arvos lately (i go there alot can ya tell) ;D

[foggy]

We had a good turnout with about 30 people there at some stage or another. A big thankyou to Nick(the owner) for opening early for us.

Unforntunately the fish did not fully co-operate, but we still managed to land a few.

Good to put some faces to names. I must say that all the Ausfishers I have met so far are really great people.

Look forward to catching up with some of you soon.

Hey guys
I wish I knew about the meet and greet I would have been there!
It looked like a great day aswell.

I've been there a few times and generally havn't caught many fish there, the ones I have tho have been decent size!

Thanks
Tim bo

darrmun - Amanda does alot for me so i choose to help her with the housework #;)

timor 2 - It was $35 each to fish for the day (ausfish discount) and if you wanted to take a barra home for dinner it was $18 per kg,and yes you can use your own gear

masterdusky - yes mate amanda and i used our own gear #:D

foggy - those plastic barra put up a good fight #;D ;D

I forgot to mention..I also hooked up on some fellas straw hat that blew in the water #;D ;D

cheers tim #:)

[BrandonH]

Was a great day!! glad to see that most people got a couple of fish ;)

I have to thank Foggy for organising this and being a great host and getting around to all Ausfishers that were spread out around the park!! You did well mate ;) Was good having a chat with you about the park and fishing in general :D

Was great to meet a lot of New Ausfishers and catch up with some others that I haven't seen for awhile ;D Tim that sore on your back didn't seam to slow you down mate ;) hope its still holding together!!!

Was great to see the kids get into some fish too!! (even if it was with a little help) there's nothing better than watching a youngster struggling to land a fish with a HUGE smile on there face ;D ;D ;D

Next time I think an arvo session would be better, getting up at 2:30am to get there at 4am was a bit much :-/ and I am paying for it this morning ::) I knew I shouldn't have fallen asleep on the couch sunday arvo!! #;D ;D

No Pics from me but I know there are a few more floating around ;)

Cheers

[TIM-DONSELAAR]

Tim that sore on your back didn't seam to slow you down mate ;) hope its still holding together!!!


Brandon...


It would take more than 8 stitches to stop me fishing #;D ;D


cheers tim #:)

[snapattack]

What a top idea that turned into an enjoyable morning. A big thanks to Foggy for orangising this and I can not wait for the next one. Definately an arvo session next time though.

No pics, but it was good to meet a few of you guys.

Looks like everyone had fun wish I could`ve made it but had to work.I live close by and fish there regularly and find Hardy Heads to be the best bait in the big boys pond.Poppers in the arvo go off and really get the heart pumping.Hopefully next time I don`t have to work!!!!!!!!

Cheers

[beefaman]

You dont need lead to cast the pallets out, as soon as they sink you are no chance of catching one. Small fly hooks and cast with the wind is the best option if using pallets 8-)

[ROB80]

Thanks for organising a great day Foggy.Attached is a photo of my nephew's first ever fish ;D
