[Mike Delisser]

Thanks for the pics Greg. I just got home and I'm about to hook up the boat and head down, though I may watch the rugby first if we're going well.

Great pics PinHead Thanks mate!!

Keep them comming for the guys like me who cant be there because we are at work.

[PinHead]

it is a small world..Webby used to have a red boat..the fire truck.. which he sold to Marlin Mike. marlin Mike has since sold the boat to someone else. We were all standiung around having a chat and webby's son Cameron says..have a look at this. The firetruck arrives back at the ramp.

Just back in tidying up the event.

Thanks to Webby, Bush'n'Beach, Chief, Chong and Ausfish as sponsors and prize donations.

Thanks to thedeckie for cooking up a storm of a BBQ breakfast.

There was a pretty good turnout in my books and appreciate the effort of those that urned up. It was a hard nights fishing with that big moon in the sky. Conditions were comfortable though.

Brian will post up details of winners names and fish etc when his satelite dish gets cranking again.

I'll let the others sort the stories.

Late at night I found this Feret perched on the bait board of Rebait. Nothing would shift it.
