Guest bluecod Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Guys, In case you miss it in the social pages, I've posted a request for the experienced ones to bring along a variety of flies they use in different situations for different species. It will give us inexperienced fluffchuckers an idea of what to use/buy/tie for whatever we may be chasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluecod Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Mick, That's absolutley brilliant I don't think I've come across any tackle shop that treats its customers or sponsored site as well as you guys do. Full marks I'm sure there's a heap of guys who could do with an outfit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluecod Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I dropped in at Australian Bass Angler today to pick up the prize and have a chat. How good is that store They've got just about every conceivable item you can think of and prices to suit all budgets. Nice bunch of guys as well Got to admit, I walked out of there with a few goodies for myself, but left a fair bit of drool upstairs around the fly gear. Here's the prize fellas An 8/9 weight Markston rod, a large arbour graphite Markston "Maroka" reel with spare spool, 100 yards of 20lb backing and a WF8F line, soft rod cover and hard rod tube. The outfit feels nice and solid and well capable of handling light saltwater [small kings, sambos, flathead and bream etc] with ease and would make a great starter outfit or as a backup outfit. I reckon it would have to be worth well over a couple of hundred bucks and is a great prize for some discerning angler. As you can all understand, the support of Australian Bass Angler is very much appreciated. And YES, this is a shameless plug, but a well deserved one If you're ever out that way drop in and say G'day - 105 Batt Street, Penrith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluecod Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) icanallwaysslip50bigonesunderthetableifuwanna 70849[/snapback] Nick, Mate, you can slip me $50 bucks over the table any time you want - but it ain't gonna help Mick at Australian Bass Angler left it to Ken A to decide how best to award the rod, and Ken A has left it to me. I think the fairest way is by draw from a hat - all participants go in with an equal chance, so it becomes a lucky door prize. Starting time for the social is at 10.00 AM and seeing how there's going to be a few there on the day without fly gear, there's a good chance that one of the newbies could win the rod. Taking this into account and seeing how it would be good to learn on your own gear, I will hold the draw at 10.30 AM to give the winner every chance to practise on his/her new gear. Note that you will have to be there at the draw, otherwise names keep getting drawn until it goes off. Dilemma solved - no further correspondence entered into on this issue Edited October 5, 2005 by bluecod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
