fredflathead Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Thanks for a great weekend. Mark you will get one, leave Mel at home. Harold I had a ball, we sorted the idiots outs in the afternoon. The behavior of Fishraider was great no one got cranky because of no sleep and the spirit of Fishraider is there to stay. It just shows people you meet on the internet are not axe murders just good friends when they all meet and to include the kids was great, Donna and Stewie the look on their faces when they won $20 was great. thanks norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Well you lot all had a fantastic time. Fabulous organising by Donna and Stewy, great contribution from Harold and a true FISHRAIDER SPIRIT displayed in the reading of 7 pages of reports. Must have a lie down...Knackered after that. Thanks from the bush to you all for getting out there and doing it. Proud of you all, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDory Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 It just shows people you meet on the internet are not axe murders just good friends when they all meet Norm, I'm not that sure of that. There was one member at the boat ramp, who suggested that i would be stepping a fine line, if a certain photo of him, HAPPY AS LARRY, with a PIKE EEL, made the Fishraider site. Photo Deleted (after making copies) Great week end Thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDory Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Thanks Mate I didn't want to name names, as i was scared. Good to see you fessed up! JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krause Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 From my very low and relatively cold vantage point, i can only agree. Great event, great people. It was good to join the 'conversation' in other words yelling at other boats in the dark. Big shout out to those how offered us silly kayakers refuge if we froze, and to the swordies for letting us join them in the warmth of the mothership before paddling home. Great night, would do again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 No worries Nathan! It was great to see you catch your first! That's just awesome! I'd also like to thank sasha for the extra bait and also congratulate him on the biggest hairtail. Even though it was sown together! Lol Well done champ! You fish as hard as anyone out there and deserve the title! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squishy Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Mark you will get one, leave Mel at home. Excuse me Norm!!! Thats not very nice... Marky would probably starve or eat packets of chips for 3 days if I didn't go he he Thanks again everyone for an amazing weekend of laughs and fishing! And a much as I know Sasha was jealous, I had a beautiful day on Saturday with a glass of wine and a rod in hand soaking up the afternoon sun. I couldn't think of a better way to unwind after the craziness of OEFY at work. Somehow you guys picked the most perfect weekend for it. Next year Jason... and maybe Mark... that'll be your time to catch a big 2m one or something... I just know it! I promise I won't sleep through it all next time And massive kudos to the two kayak guys... maaaaan, I don't know how you do it! Brrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflathead Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I think just being in the social was part of the fun. I want to know who owns the boat about 4.5m with the red/brown canopy ? I notice you had your rods rig with a small red and yellow float and I forgot to ask who it was and where did you get the floats? I love floats and have a mad collection of blackfish floats hand made, I fish with my grandsons using floats and I think yours would be idea. thanks norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Thought I would add a few photos of our awesome social. The kids have not stopped raving about it and want me to take them again these school holidays! I might just have too! I would love to see the photos from the pirate ship??? Especially all the fish they caught!!! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4myson Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 What a TOP weekend !!! And I'm not just saying that because I took out 1st place (but I'm glad I did) ... It was a true pleasure to be among fellow fisherman & Mel who made my & Anthony's weekend one to remember & thanks to everyone that made our newest father & son team Warren & Jake feel welcomed as well . A BIG special thank you to Stewy & Donna for taking the time to organise such a great event & also would like to thank Harold for what he has done for the Fishraider family. Also Harold it was a pleasure to meet your wife & son Jeremy. BTW Scratchie it took 3 hairtails to make that 1 ....LOL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDory Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I would love to see the photos from the pirate ship??? Especially all the fish they caught!!! Cheers scratchie!!! Jeff I would love to show those pictures but there aren't any! When the Rum barrels opened we must have forgotten to take photos. Hang on a sec I did send one to Donna. I'm not brave enough to put it in a post, due to the threat of violence. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Well that's a sad but true story! Glad you boys enjoyed yourself and your pike hairtail could be a raider record! (And a new scientific species) There's always next time! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaClH2OK9 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 When you are that Yo Ho Ho. You see all sorts on a dark cold night. It's clearly a contagious condition as we all saw the same species.! Some even wanted to take photos they were so impressed! I think it's time everyone moved on. The flag has been won for drinking the most rum.

Carl_131 and I were using the floats on our rigs. We got them from a Korean fishing tackle store in Rowe Street, Eastwood. They are an EVA 3 float made from closed cell plastic. They have a recess in the top to hold a battery powered small red LED indicator light that easily lasts all night on one tiny battery. It takes a 2 bean sinker to nicely balance the float rig when you have a whole pilchard on. We also used waterproof flashing battery powered attractor lights down on the leader just above the bait.
