Your Ausfish highlight 2006?

[dogsbody]

Gday people
Hope you all recovered from the big eat. Would like to hear your highlight of Ausfish this year.

Some of mine have been the reports, Ive especially enjoyed Charleville's a chuckle is always on the cards. And the info shared by members has given a lot to ponder.

Also following Smelly's outboard tear down has had me glued to the monitor waiting to read that he has overcome another problem. I am amazed at the help offered to him from BM,Roughasguts,Chimo,FNQ and others it's been like a book wondering what will be the outcome. Smelly is one tenacious bloke. Good for him.

Tunaman well there's a few thigh slappers from him. Just what you need some days.

Lastly the general willingness of members to give others the time to offer their help.

So what have you enjoyed?


Dave.

Highlights? Good thread dogsbody. I have so many which include having a day out on Pinhead's boat. Great guy with a great boat. Once again thanks for the hospitality Greg. For anyone who have been following the 4wd-offroad section there have been some great M&G sessions with Lucky_Phill. Through these I got to meet not only Phill but also some of the other great folk from this great site like Finding_time, Brett1907 to name a couple. The eagerness to meet and have fun with fellow Ausfish mates is hard to comprehend sometimes which makes this site second to none. Have also had fishing trips with Adamy(another great bloke) and enjoyed loads of exchanges of great information from many other people on here. Willingness to help when I have a question or just looking for ideas is just fantastic so a good pat on the back to everyone out there.
Last but certainly not the least was my treasured experience with Scalem catching my PB snapper at Mud Island this year which came in at 65cms. Nice fish but room for improvement which gives me something to look forward to in 2007. Thanks to all who have made this year memorable.

Regards,

Poodroo

I think that mine would have to be the trips to 1770 and getting to meet the members that go up, great spot and couldnt ask for a better bunch. I also give credit to Smelly for having a go, been interesting.

The high light for me this year was getting an Australian record for a slender wrasse I caught at the Barwon Bank mid year with my fishing club

Great thread...

Highlight would be meeting Fat-Chili and him taking by man as a deckie.. Great stress releif for Brett as he is a prison guard. Ben is a crack up! and they seem to get along great. They have been out a few times on Ben's boat and had some great times

Thanks for your hospitality and vessel Ben,

I would like to thank all Ausfish members for having fun with Tunaman and having a good old laugh. My high-light for the year was all of you, and I would thank all the people here, but there,s just too many to name.

I have learnt alot since being here.


Thanks again.

My highlite for the year was finding this site. I moved to brissy at easter and was looking for info on fishing. Was`told about this site rsand have been addicted ever since. Great bunch of ppl....with heaps of knowledge i can draw from......and a few newbies that i may be able to give some of my limited knowledge to. Now.......who needs a deckie this year?????????

Cheers

Wow so many posts I have read...hard to appoint a winner!!

Just for laughs...I laughed so much it hurt when I read the post about the guy on the Whithsunday trip who gutted his ramora only to realise it had a gut full of human turd!!!

For me...thanks to all those who helped out with my cavitating pop.

To the Mods and the Lords of Ausfish...Thank you the site itself has been a highlight

Roz's Rod Building Weekend would be up there along with Webby's River to Mud, but best of all and more importantly, the unexpected sight of Charleville giving a one line answer!!!

back in early may of this year i had the pleasure of meeting 2 people that had a small impact on my outlook in life,,,,especially after spending most of 2005 in hospital,,

i reported this unexpected meeting here and copped a lot of good reports and pm's etc,,, but also copped a small amount of flack re the authenticity of the report,,all by members now gone

my highlite,,,steve and his dad are doing fine,,,,they are still in contact via mail,, and thoroughly enjoyed there visit to oz,,

i've never met anybody that endured so much,,,and yet had the outlook that these 2 had,,,not in real life anyway,,,,and that comes from knowing a lot of the patients of oncology at the RBWH,,

Thanks for the vote of confidence, dogsbody.


The reports are the main thing that I look for also. A man has gotta know what is biting and where. The advice that we all receive from genuine people on this site is great.

I also find the advice given in the tackle and boating sections to be very good. It is quiet amazing just how much expertise is out there "prowling" around this site. Many thanks to all who give such advice so willingly.

Great to see a lot of diversity in what people like.

C'mon what keeps YOU coming back? Fess up.
