Straddy M&G - been there, done that - see you next year - or I might see the package again 5 years from today.

Sorry I could not make it.
But it is bloody quiet on Ausfish tonight, so many of our characters are taking leave from the forum to materialize in a human form down at Sth Straddie.

Thanks Phill.

Damn civilized M&G from what I saw!
"The Plank" certainly does keep feet dry which will be good if they head up for lunch and the band today.
Fresh caught snapper and beer battered chips went down a treat yesterday.

Good to catch up with the boys and girls.

Cheers

More to this later. In depth report by Captain Seaweed, I hope.

It is called " joy ".

No idea why, but every picture tells a story.

Was good to meet a couple of new people and always good to catch up with the regulars. The package seemed to have a good night from what we can tell....ImageUploadedByTapatalk1374985155.133166.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1374985174.722198.jpg

The second pic was always going to happen - just a matter of when.

I am sorry that I could not make it there, otherwise there could have been two of us in that photo!

Yes twas a very funny evening. Haven't laughed that much for quite a while. But a very dusty day today.

[TREVELLY]

Was a good day out with family - very tame and civilised the daytime visit - but yes it was obvious the children were getting ready to party and some just priming themselves up. A couple of the more savy just arrived towards the end of the day to miss the more mundane steady drinking and straight into the evenings activities.

It was great to finally catch up with many I have met before and some for the first time having chatted for some years on here and some of you will be at the next GTG where i will be with mates and looking forward to a great deal.

I know I haven't got you all and I am a shocker with names but I recall:- Peter, Jim and Julie (Mr and Mrs Hog) noyce striper, Giffo, Cobiaman, Muddy Toes, Marty, Chimo, Wags, Murf and lady friend and his wandering boat, Phill, Grahame, Chong, Macca (The Lump), Dave (Netmaker)

And as you can see Dave came all dressed up to chat with Shitfish'n'chippy

Little chappie found no children to play with so put himself up on the roof

yep. another great ausfish bash. good to catch up again with the regulars and meet a few new ones. hilarious joke telling night around the fire. don't know how we didn't attract any ranger attention after reading the sign on the dunny block referring to loud, drunken behaviour. plenty of semi-tame wildlife around kept us on our toes after a wallaby was caught out on the table trying to make a sanger and attempts were also made to capture a bandicoot using bread and live "package" baits. hopefully someone will post some pics of the trap

[wags on the water]

It has been a long time between drinks and M&G's for me, so it was good to catch up with the new faces of fishing, the guys I already know and the bald one with the big cat.

Cheers.
