Knot Tying & D.I.Y Jighead Making M&G 9/8/2008

[Poodroo]

Now with all jokes aside, (for now anyway), it should be a good time as I am sure everyone wants to learn a different way of doing things.

I am surprised that there has not been more intrest.

Graham.

I am pretty surprised myself Graham. I have two professional fishermen lined up to give talks and share some expertise about fishing plastics but I was not going to reveal who they are until more people show some interest. It will be a shame to tell them not to worry about it due to lack of interest.

" I have two professional fishermen lined up ",

Sounds interesting Andrew. I will not commit to the event as work usually interfers with last minute call ups, but certainly will pencil it in the diary.

Hey Poo sounds good I'd be keen to learn something different.

Hi Poodroo, A great idea prior to the summer months coming on. Count me in. I think its time for me to get serious to try and catch a feed and take some home. Instead of feeding the little buggers. Will also stop "she who must be obeyed" nagging about selling the boat to buy a caravan. It won't happen.

Regards
Aussie Spirit.

Hi all,

I would love to come but is the birthday weekend for 3 of the 4 of us here. I miss catching up with you lot; been buried under a computer and starting a new job, now selling my house etc.

Have fun for those that are going. Poodroo is a great host.

Cheers,
Chris

Okay it's just one week to go and I am going to ammend the list to include only the people who have indicated they are definitely coming. Please if you want to come along let me know if you are a definite so that I can cater for you. I will be supplying drinks (including beer), nibblies, sweets, coffee etc. Our special guest is Foggy who most of us know through the forum. We will all be able to share our knowledge about our prefered knots on the day. Scalem will also be setting up to show all how we manufacture our own D.I.Y jigheads which are the darter style jigheads using Gamakatsu Finesse strong wire hooks which both Scalem and I have been using for some time now. To date my PB snapper which was caught on a home made jighead still stands at 74cms. I did have a fairly high profile guest lined up but it depended on how many were coming. Seeing as I would have had to pay him for his time to come I couldn't afford to bring him out based on the numbers that have shown interest. Perhaps next time. Anyway here is the list of definites.
