A Retrospective View of 2009

[DEANO68]

I must say a big thankyou firstly to Nagg for a great couple of days at the muster I was at a loss without a boat going up the goat track but on arrival felt no stress as I boarded the hornet cheers mate, also enjoyed a roast with him at somerset and a night dash in the cold brrrr...

To my good friend Whitto I know its been a tought year to mannage a trip but never the less the aussie day weekend and the few after where all fun and totally enjoyable.

To Poiter mate you above all deserved a fish this year and I can tell ya I was so happy for ya when we got the news and I know there will be many more.

John mate so glad to see ya at the Jack comp mate you are a credit to all those fighters, great to have ya back in the saddle mate.

Brian mate great to finally throw a lure side by side mate been a long time coming for sure and look forward to doing it again soon.

Trev well mate you are the man I know you are humble but let me say I inspire to blokes like you, you certaily respect the fish and to me thats the number one quality above all that fish for them.

Kimmy and fish magnet Roo you guys are brilliant so happy and cant say how much I enjoy see you guys around the camp. Not to mention Kimmy with he impressive boat skills under Roos brilliant guidance..

Darryl mate a camp without you is a quiet one mate, you are so fun and enjoyable to be around who in this world would want a quiet camp. As for the fishin mate this year you are going to smash em but please where a helmet just in case...

The crew as a whole are just like a extended family we love the fishing but we love the thrill of being there just as much, you are all the best people Steveyb, Simon, Steve (apollo) Dave, Benny, the bro's of darkness, Big Paul, Foxie, Tony the list goes on..

Last but not least my mate Deano what a top bloke mister social butterfly cant drive past a boat without a gday, we share many trips, and sessions chacing Barra and jacks and I cant think of a moment where I was not haveing a ball, seeing the excitment of a fish on the deck the little gay dance he does is so funny he is generaly a top bloke thankyou mate for the year that was 09 and look forward to many more barra and Jacks in 2010...

Well Nagg you are the only light left on mate.

GO TO BED NOW OR SANTA WON'T COME!

Can't wait till the morning there is a big parcel under the tree from Santa / care of Gin Gin. That's where he gets the good stuff you know .

Been sitting there for weeks, can't wait to open it Woo Hoo!

What's that sleigh bells! SHHHHhhhhhhhh ZZZZZzzzzzzz

Certainly some great stuff out there & real value atm ........ but as long as you know what you are buying ........
If the US economy recovers like some are predicting ,,,,,,, the $OZ will fall further ..... So strike while the Ozzy is strong particularly for big ticket items like rods & reels

Yeh flash one eh?
It has a switch for 12 or 24v Chris
and a USB connection (callop).

Bugger the B' Day sales, BCF don't have one any way till the new year and that's where the gift cards are for. Smart move, they know everyone heads there on boxing day to use the gift cards so there is no need for a sale to promote business


Those with a clue hold off till the next cattledog comes out to cash in the gift cards.

shane

I'd like to fish Mondy a few times at the low level ( recon) & then see it hit 40% That would be cool

Chris

[Whitto]

I've never seen Mondy at 40% but very close to it........In previous posts I have stated that now is a goodtime while it is low to be having alook around at exposed structure and the shape of points that will be underwater at sometime in the future.......In particular the top end of Mondy in Banjo country.

[BR65]

Hey Whitto, LHS at the end of Chrome Alley, at the last creek mouth before you turn right into F, theres that big nasty bank side log jam becoming exposed again, thats where the ol fella got smoked a month or so a go, that spot is only just coming out to play now with the low levels
