I have not attended any previous BBashes - but as I live in Richards Bay it would be unfair to actually make a selection - but for the record (just to count numbers) I will also support Vidal.

Hiya Guys,

This was a hot topic even during the bash.

The idea of doing a combination with the boating chaps is a great idea, but looking at the response and numbers it looks like the boating chaps could have a entire Birthday Bash of their own.

As far as R&S I really feel that HITW is halfway for everyone. Now some may say that the CT guys don’t attend, and therefore why consider them when choosing a venue?

My thoughts are that we should settle on a suitable venue and fish it for at least three consecutive years. This will go a long way in ensuring that everyone gets to hear about the Bash and makes equal chance for all to attend.

Once we get the numbers up, including CT guys, the bash becomes almost institutional with a reputation to boot. Then we can revisit the location and either keep it along the Wild Coast or move it to another province or location.

Reefman…this needs some serious consideration if the intention is to grow the Bash with representation from all provinces. It also looks like a Birthday Bash for all the other facets on Sealine could well be a reality!
 
@Trophy...That is an interesting way to look at it..you do have a good point..The only thing is having 2 socials is the time some people would have to take off work...i think that could be the only down fall...

I like the sound of vidal because you can fish at night and the fishing isnt to bad. Also like the fact that we trying to include other aspects on sealine not just the R&S...
However, i feel HITW would be the fair option for the R&S anglers on sealine, as the PE gang are add a lot of input and enjoyment here on the sight and it would only be fair to them if they didnt have to travel so far...as we all have said that it is half way for all
but if the CT guys dont make more of an effort then so be it, i dont care where it is, i will be there with my kit to have a good time

Hiya Guys,

I think Admin should first take part of this topic off-line and debate two or three venues as options.

Next it would surely be best practise to put the two or three venues out to all Sealine members as a poll?

I would also sugest that the various facets that want to hold a Birthday Bash do it apart until these events become large enough to combine into the mother of all South African Fishing EVENTS!!

Couldn't agree with you more boet. Not into sitting on a mountside while every one else is fishing or getting grass burns on the DERRIER

We can launch the boats at HITW it was a bit difficult getting down to the beach but not impossible. The fishing was not all that great for us offshore however. Here is a pic of the road down to the launch area....
