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.

Great day/nite thanks Phil . 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

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

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 ).

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 !

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.

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.

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

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
