A huge Thanks to the effort of Fitz and Basser for running it again with back up from the Wivenhoe Fish Stocking group. A big thank you to Al from KFDU for the BBQ on both nights.

Its a big call but without a doubt I still reckon its the best Kayak Fishing event on the Calendar..

Looking forward to the next one just like everyone else....

Cheers

Have to agree with Sel's comment, it is a stand out event for kayakers, whether a champ or just a mug.

And a big thank you to all who put in the hard yards to get the event up and running.

Fitz, you gave me something to strive for.Thank you!! ;D
My result exceeded my wildest dreams!! ;D
I've booked my site again already for next year and I'll definitely put my hand up again to help out in any way.
A chance for friends to catch up who have come from far and wide and the opportunity to make new friends.
Love the camaraderie amongst all that make this event the wonderful comp that it has become.

Cheers.

Fitzy think a few have already taken a punt on next year, and if the convention falls over for 2011 guess there could be a casual social/fish gathering as a replacement.

No prizes, just mates, a kayak, rod, and ice box required and pass the hat for the stocking group.

Mate you started the ball rolling with three successful conventions, and think they will perpetuate in future even if called "The Wivenhoe Convention Memorial Social/Fishing Turn Out" ..... hope 'memorial' isn't spooky mate ;)

I'll go with that, all the other ysak comps I know of think they are playing for sheep stations. Wivanhoe was a great relaxed atmosphere that all can participate in.

Well if my memory serves me right..I think the date has always been the first weekend of the NRL finals, I could be wrong but I remember last year some of us were cheering the Broncos on and this year we were doing the same with the Titans.. ::)

Cheers

Yeah that just about sums it up. I also believe what Dodge said is true. Convention or not that weekend next year would probly see a big social gathering just for the fun of it. But we are all hoping the sweetwater team will work their magic again for a few years to come.
Cheers John.

Post by: will7 on September 20, 2010, 12:52:37 PM: True it would be a still be a great Social gathering, maybe the interstate yaker's may not come but the local would still get together
