queensland NP Dam Sunday 16th Nov

[Ash]

hey all,

I havent been fishing for nearly over a month, so im heading to NP dam for a few hours sunday morning. It'll be literally a few hours unfortunetly, but a chance to wet the line none the less. I'll probably get there about 430am and leave about 9am, so if any ones keen for a fishing quickie, come along.

Cheers,

Ash

I hope you don't get mistaken for Jimmybob, now he has a pic of you for his avatar. :laugh:

Just jokes.

Hope you get onto a few to release the pent up needs.

If you're not up to speed on recent NPD reports - the boys are reporting quite a few joe blakes around so keep your pork pies peeled.

[Ash]

Whats the worst time for them coming out you reckon/ Too be honest, im not too keen to meet any!

Post up where you think you will be closer to the day, I'll try and drop in for a yarn.

Will do Feral. I might just hit the Wall. Easy to get to and theres been some decent yellas caught from there lately.

[mangler]

well it is true the more people there is means more noise and snakes move away, that is unless you walk straight at there nest then its on for young and old lol

[Ash]

yeah thanks Kriso! Just what i want to hear:unsure:

Maybe i should by a mongoose, just to take out on these landbased fishing trips!:cheer:

[kriso]

yeah man that would work you could call it cuddles lol

When we're in the bush we have the 2 metre rule. i.e. You have to stay 2 metres behind the person in front in case thay need to jump back;) :laugh:

If you walk heavy the snakes will usually take off before you even see them. They normally show up as the sun gets a little higher. I hit the dam about 5.30 6.00 and have only seen them on the way back to the car after I've finished my session...

I'd love to meet up for a fish this Sunday but I'm fishing with my little man at Redcliffe chasing undersized bream and tiny whiting.

Next week is bass week for me

[shayned]

If you really are worried, you could just fish the end of Bullocky where SEQ's rangers were good enough to clear up for an upcoming kids fishing day.

Of course this is now officially the beginners area.:cheer:

Yeah man, a 430 start looks the goods still.

[kriso]

OMG i so wanna get there early with a rubber snake and a video camera!!!! :evil:

I may get down for this.I've never tried fresh before. What hooks bait lures rods etc are suitable for this style of fishing?

Cheers

Hulk

[mangler]

Hulk, to give you an idea I'll be taking a 2-4kg spin setup to cast lures with.

As for lures just about anything could work, to give you an idea the two main lure fishing targets would be Australian Bass and Golden Perch (Yellowbelly). I'll be taking a selection of bibbed divers, spinnerbaits, bibless lures and some pre-rigged soft plastics.

As for bait fishing, earthworms is probably easiest bait. Hooks would be same as estuary species - number 4 to 2/0. And possible catches on worms would be silver perch, eel-tailed catfish & tilapia.

Cheers,

Matt

[hulk]

Mangler,

Is it a case of get the shovel out or do bait shops sell the earthies?

cheers

Hulk

[mangler]

You can get the shovel out if you're keen, if not "The Tackle Shop" on Gympie Rd, Carseldine sells live earthworms.

[hulk]

Cheers mangler

[Feral]

Everyone still looking at the wall?

Probably rock up around 5:30 - 6ish.

[mangler]

Sounds good to me, hope to be there around 5.
