Thanks to everyone who attended.... like I said at the start of the presentations on Sunday, we don't always get it right, but will happily fix any stuff ups. That in mind, I will need to separate the 2 events a bit further. That fixed, there's a spankin new Humminbird 345CX DI for Ollie (insert plug here for Ollie's Stingray Lures) sitting at Charltons Fishing for him to pick up.

Overall, thank god the weather held out & the lake got back some of its previous form. It's always good to see people catch fish.  :thumbsup

An awesome weekend once again.  Thanks Fitz for making this the biggest and best Kayak and Canoe Fishing Convention in the World.  Thanks to all the entrants for making this event as enjoyable as it is.  Thanks to the sponsors Fitz has mentioned.  BLA are bloody awesome!  Felicity is a dynamo on the computer and the weekend wouldn't have happened without her tireless efforts.  I guess I'll see ya's all next year hey?

I even fluked a couple of little fish this year.

From a sponsors point of view:

A huge thanks to Fitzy and the crew for allowing us (Backwater Paddles, Zipper Worm Company and AR Lures) to support the event.  Your event is a no brainer when it comes to sponsorship, we are committed to growing our level of sponsorship over the coming years!

Just as important from my point of view is a HUGE THANKS to the anglers and families that attend this event and support the sponsors, we are by no means the largest contributor to the prize booty that is on offer but without you the anglers we couldn't put our products in your hands. 

Location and weather always play a part but for mind it is the people, from the organisers through to the competitors and their support crews that make this event what it is.  I haven't come away from an event not learning something and this is what will see my company return year on year.

So from the crew at MLTE a sincere thanks to everyone again and look forward to next year!!
