ABT Tweed Round, 8th - 9th July

[iank]

Dans first GT, on 2lb platapus braid.

[Dodgy_Back]

Just to make myself sound better !

First fish was on the first cast, fluke!

Full bag by 8, upgrade twice, 2 undersize, wet as a Shag by 6.45 shivering at 9.30, home in bed at 11.30 for a day time snooze [smiley=sleeping.gif] [smiley=sleeping.gif] [smiley=sleeping.gif]

Hey Ian

Is Dan, Fishingdans real name ?

I reckon he's a slightly chubbier Shannon Noll ( you know, Australian Idol )

[JT]

Nice one boys, you all certainly deserve it for fishing in today's conditions. Be interesting to see how the system fishes on Sunday when this rain clears. Rest assured Mick & Ian I won't ask Shannon , oops I mean Dan to reveal any of your spots .

Will post up pics and a report (if we have anything to report) on Suday.

Cheers

John

I spent a little more than I meant to on the way home, and I've upgraded my arsenal a little... Got a new Daiwa 1000 reel for the Nitro rod. And have a new rod (Drop Shot) for the Sedona 1500

Bring on the comp!!!



Thanks again Ian for a great day. Had an absolute ball. Hope that I haven't jinxed myself now... Doughnuts are nice, but I've had enough of them!

[Dodgy_Back]

Dan,

Did you get a rain coat as well ?

It's nice to use good gear, seem to get more confidence by using it.
But then again you gained alot by being on "Idol"

Mick

[Fishin_Dan]

ah ha ha ha!

Nah mate. I've already got a good wet weather jacket... Just forgot to take it

And you just leave my "tackle" out of it!

As Big Kev would say "I'm excited!"

Not long now boys & girls.

Is anyone else staying down there? I'm staying at the South Tweed Motor Inn (Minjungbal Drive - Just on the south side of the bridge). I'm sure there will be some drinks there somewhere

See you all (Except you Nabs!) at the briefing

Good Luck All,

Sadly I won't be fishing this one as planned , but that's cool sometimes life gets in the way of fishing. I'll be sure to keep up with how everyones doing each night.

Hopefully catch up with you at the Social at Jacobs Well on the 30th. PM me if you want some more details.

Good luck again.

Cheers
