slayman1 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hi every one. Its been a while since I last posted on this site. Please count me in for this event. I will be more than glad to bring along some sausages and eggs for the day as well as some soft drinks. I would also like to volunteer to help cooking the breakfast in the morning. Dont forget, us Lebs have mastered the art of the BBQ. This will officially be my first social and I look forward to meeting every one. I sure hope I can get a fish on a boat on the day. To contact me please send me a PM and I will gladly give my details to the organiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robthefisherman Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Crickey, I haven't checked the list for a little while and hasn't it grown, If every raider catches a flatty I'm worried they'll be listed as a threatened species This is going to be the social to end all socials, BRING IT ON Ross I may bring my Daughter 8 but it depends where I end up fishing if it's land based or my mate brings his boat I'll bring her but if I end up on another raiders boat I'll come alone I'll let you know in the next week or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flightmanager Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 G'day Raiders , Sorry for the delay in announcing the venue , but I needed to check them out to make sure they were suitable , my original plans ended up being no good , so I needed to find an alternative . The Flathead Social will be held at Cooks Park Sans Souci. Cooks Park is on the Grand Parade , the nearest cross street is Alice Street. This location is reasonably central to all of the popular boat ramps , and it is where we will have lunch , measure the fish and make the presentations. It is a well shaded spot , there are toilets and a playground as well . There is plenty of beach space to park your boat . Once again , I would remind all attendees that if the weather is in any way doubtful , we will postpone the event to another date , but I am hopeful that the weather Gods will smile on us kindly.

Those of you who have offered to provide food and drinks etc , I will be in touch with you this week , to finalise these matters .

domza Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Just wondering what the depth is just out of the beach. Is it possible to beach a 5metre boat there? the reason i ask is because on sunday i tried to beach just south from that area and i got stuck in 0.3 metre water, which made the engine jump and take on sand in the inlet. Also had to wade the boat out to deeper water.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightmanager Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) G'day Domza , Unfortunately , with so many boats attending , using any of the ramps was totally out of the question , so beaching the boats was our only option. For any of the larger boats , Im sure we would be able to ferry people from deeper water to the beach to avoid the problems you mentioned .

Guest rzep Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I would remind all attendees that if the weather is in any way doubtful , we will postpone the event to another date As I am unable to make this date would it be selfish of me to hope for foul weather??
