harold Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Did I read somewhere that there is a Hairtail social on again this year or was it wishful thinking? Hope so as I love freezing to death trying to catch the ugliest critters in the ocean. anyone else interested? I reckon if enough of us say yes we can pressure Donna and Stewie into putting it on.

kiwicraig Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm keen for sure and will bring along a house boat full of reprobates as well. I just need to know a date so I can get our head brewer on the case! I am pretty sure I saw somewhere in the Fishraider is saved thread that there will be a Hairtail Social - bring it on!

Bait type Hi Jeff, There is an excellent article with all you need to know here on Fishraider. I read that and did my first hairtail social last year and managed to pick up 4 hairies. That said I was a good half a meter off winning the comp. Definitely a great trip out regardless. Definitely try to make it if you can.
