The AKFF NSW get together is gathering steam and so far approx 20 yakkers (and a few families/wives etc) have expressed interest.
Location has been locked in as Barlings Beach Caravan Park, just south of Batemans Bay, approx 3.5 hours south of Sydney. RedPhoenix advises that this spot offers good offshore options, plus river/estuary not far away. This should give us the best chance of a good weekend, no matter what the weather throws at us. Link to their website here. http://www.barlingsbeach.com
I have advised the managers that we have a group coming, they have advised that there is a 10% Club discount. When booking, advise that you are with the 'Australian Kayak Fishing CLUB' and they should sort you out. Their email is mailto:[email protected]
For those who wish to camp, apparently there are plenty of sites. For those who want a cabin, currently the following cabins are available. Cabins 216,217,218, 220 through to 225, 175 & 177. (You can check out layouts and prices on the website) I've booked cabin 226 as the family will be joining me.
My plan is to arrive Friday (midday/early arvo) to check out the area and have a Friday arvo paddle/fish. Then some serious fishing on Saturday and another leisurely one Sunday morning before returning home Sunday arvo. There will probably be a bit of 'family time' in amongst that, taking the kids to the beach/pool etc.
Of course if you want to stay longer or just drop in for the day then that's fine as well. Those who have expressed interest are listed below.
Davey G (and family)
Red Phoenix (and family)

Peril (and wife)
