4THALOVE 45 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 well i spent the day down at wayville and to be honest it was a lil bit dissapointing there needs to be some local tackle shop/s there to sell there wares as anaconda and the sydney based one are just clearing out excess stocks. i did purchase a strudwick 701s sick stick pro for my up coming bream tournaments :ohmy: which was very well priced.i did sit through a session on sounders which was interesting. asked a few q's to the EPA. and coast guards etc and the perve on the farmers union stage was ok i guess overall i would rate it a 6/10 needs pole dancers or semi nakeds handing out flyers on how to tie knots Resolute and Moggy23 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasticlova 4 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 hi all just my own personal opinion on the boat show:it seems alot smaller than previous shows im not really into the boats - why go then - I go to get tackle specials etc.there is only 1 real tackle setup they are from NSW pretty good range of stuff eg 3 vibes for $10 which was great, they have reels rods, landing nets etc etc.the other tackle shop was annaconda - pretty small display really.as far as fishing sites I believe that was it - the bling is nice but i was disapointed that there wasn't really a kayak display - Binks for example with Hobies seeing though its the fasted growing sport in Oz at present. (Annaconda did have a few)so for what its worth thats about it apart from houseboats, sunglass stall, vaccum seal stall and maybe a few others.Enjoy if you go - 102.3 were giving out free tickets and managed to score 2 at gate - bonus...cheersoh yeah got some good info on marine parks etcNOTE: after reading previous posts there was Hobe there $#&*$&* Im an idiot - must have missed a display - I take that back and am well spewing!!!

srick 0 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 its obviously not gonna be bought like that. its just there for display purposes i would say. not to scratch the new engine, nor the new hull..... shorly thats why,, i hope anyway lol.p.s worst boat show ever anyway. not one cheap bargain to be had.... not happy with payin 15 bucks for that. nor will i go next year. its a dive.

fodfa 0 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Yep agree with the Boat show deal, what a waste of 15 bux. And also with the ctn thing we could have both chipped in the 15 and had a really good afternoon. Not next year ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Poppa Snake 1,399 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 my entry fee + wifes entry fee + carpark fee = carton, job done boat painted me drunk! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Willy 3 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Yep.... I went two years in a row and never again...... Absolute rip off to get in... Was hoping with the move back to Wayville it may've been better but obviously not... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
srick 0 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 is there anyone on here thats involved in organising anythin to do with the show. waist of your time and ours. thanks for nothin. lol. id rather pay bruce 15 bucks at ray and annes to go to his shop than go to the show next year. even the winches were near on full price, i rekn they only took off the entry fee hahaha. bigtime 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Terowie 3 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 By the sounds of it glad I didn't go, thought it may have improved by going back to wayville. Like evereything else try and screw the punter for all its worth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rooney 0 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I was there yesterday and what a waste of money... I thought it was a joke the prices of everything was a joke.. :dry: They need more tackle shops in there but i could think of how much it would cost to put a stand in there..I should have just gone fishing.. :f . PS I think the only good thing about the show was the free sunday mail. But wait that cost $15 it was the most expensive paper i ever bought.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rooney 0 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 And I seen that peice of wood under that motor aswell Resolute what was the deal with that..? Doesnt look too good when u are selling a new boat hey to the STACER dealer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

teddy 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 to the gentlemen who gave me a free ticket on the way in....thankyou. Was so disappointed, I go every year and there was just nothing there! I do agree need more tackle stores to get onboard and maybe throw some camping stores in there as well. All round disappointing, will consider not going next year on the back of this poor showing this year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phear 0 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 all the above reasons are why i didnt bother going. wasted my cash last year not this year lol be good if we could find the contact details for the organiser then we could all send him an email then he might realise that no 1 is happy with the show and they might do something about it.. i doubt it tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
