roosterman Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 hi roberta, i am a definite starter for the blackfish weekend. have organised with and kids to stay at mother in laws in smiths lake. i got my own luderick gear but unfortunately my spare has been broken in storage, was my old and faithful about 25yrs old,gee thats caught a few over the years. anyway no extra gear for any newbies but i am more than happy to help out and pass on any tips if anyone wants to tag along. i consider myself to be a very accomplished bf fisherman [not saying i know it all] and i always get a buzz when someone new gets into them, as we know pound for pound they give more than a good account for themselves.. i am hoping to get up there early enough to wet a line the friday and do a bit of recon work, i fished around brekinsridge chanel over xmass from that spot where theres a pool and boat ramp,lots small ones landed but i think i might try the breakwall this time.. i will try to bring up extra weed to help out. thanks heaps for organising this as its helped to get me back into fishing for bf,been waaaay to long ....

arpie Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 ......... thanks heaps for organising this as it's helped to get me back into fishing for bf, been waaaay to long .... Hey Roosterman Great to have you on board!! You will love the bf up here! Heaven on a stick (fishing stick!) It is my hope that everyone 'new' to bf will get into at least one fish (hopefully more) at the social - no doubt there will be plenty of 'downs' and moans (as in "Damn, missed it!") The more attending, the merrier! Look forward to hooking up with you on the Fri - give me a yell when you get here. Watch out, you may get 'hooked' again! I have become quite addicted to it in the last 2 years! Don't go beach fishing that much any more - but still enjoy pulling worms! Cheerio for now Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) Once again I'm forced to pull out of another Raiders social. Work is going berserk at the moment so I'm stuck here wishin I was fishin' (Actually I am hoping to get out this weekend but that's just up the road a bit) Apologies to organisers for late withdrawal. Be safe, have loads of fun & as per the Entrance social make sure you get loads of pics & great stories to let all us non-attendees at least dream we were there.

Cheers Roberta Will definatley contact you if I get up there Roberta. I hope you all catch many great fish & I have no doubt you'll overcome your "Shyness" once again (As you reported in the Entrance posts) to give everyone a warm welcome & great local tips.

cody Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 .....So if I can get to this thing, what do I need? I'd like to start riggin some gear up but havn't a clue, god I hope this won't involve another trip to the tackle shop & a kidney donation!///// Hi Boofhead/Mick We should be able to get you rigged up with a mixture of tackle that you already have - it is not rocket science or difficult, really! So don't go out buying anything new just now! I shall shortly be sending a fairly detailed pm to all registered attendees describing the proven setup for our local blackies (and plenty of other hints, too!!) Hopefully I will send out the info in the next day or so! It is a bit of a book, so you may need to copy it to a word doco or just print it off to read at your leisure!! Cheerio Roberta hi roberta i got the note and have made an account and i am still looking around the site. its a great site thanx for telling me about and i am sure to tell my freinds about it thanx cody ( mervs son ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalucius Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I know links have been posted regarding accommodation. Where are most people staying, it's nice to be at the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
