Got a text yesterday that simply said Ray 90cm!

I am guessing that Ray is into them already.....

[Feral]

Yep. Been getting pics. Nope not posting them, not after last years Green assault.

[bootyinblue]

Green as in environazi's or green with envy?????????

[Feral]

C & R Nazi's who made the trip over from your favourite forum just for the occasion. Just forwarded one to you. Dunno if it will come through

[brisbane_boy]

It is disappointig to see misplaced greens worried about a farmed barra, you could kill a hundred thous of them and it wouldnt even make a scrap of difference, its an oversize fish bowel and is a put and take fishery.

exactly right there

[shortie]

car and boat are packed,

Booty is coming early.

NOw the only hold up is will Ellicat leave home at 5am tomorrow.

I told him 3AM so maybe we have a chance of him getting away by 5AM

[bootyinblue]

I have managed to get some rum, pull out the lure bag and thats about it. Still have the sail boat hooked up to the car waiting to be washed and put away. Need to pack some clothes, find my swag, and get some dinner and get to bed.

I am excited to be going, but just too damn hot to do stuff outside at the moment!

Shortie - Text me your address, otherwise I have no idea.

[shortie]

will do booty as soon as the MRs gets home. I cant text for s hit

[bootyinblue]

Got it

[Feral]

Well pretty much got the gear from the shed done, now just got to sort some clothes and I'm done. I'm only tasking 4 rods and 4 reels. 60 odd lures.

Was talking to Clawhammer, had a bit of brief amusement when he told me he had respooled his heavy reel with 18lb line, until my laughing hysterically made him correct himself and say 18kilo line! I was still giggling a bit at that mind you!

Looking like a better than normal trip, no last minute drop outs this year!

[bootyinblue]

I think I am packed....

Anything else that I havent got, I can either go without or pilfer from my new housemates ;-)

DO I NEED A PERMIT?

Before you go fishing in any of Queensland's dams, check the list below to see if you need a permit, called a Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP). These are the 33 dams where a SIP is required.

You only need one permit per couple (married or de facto), and those under 18 do not need one at all.

Anyone want to hook up for the week and I will go halves in a permit as only need 1 per couple

[Feral]

Sorry Booty, your out of luck, you have to nominate your "partner" when you get the permit. Get it on line. Probably be able to get one either at Foxies or the Dam, but dont count on it.

Thanks for reminding me to check mine, although I always have it in my wallet, good to be sure!

Just burning a copy of AFO does Monduran 2008. I'll have my laptop, so bring your camera cables so I can collect any videos from this year to make a new production!

Oh alright.

Here is a couple of shots.

I managed to finish two of these on the trip - not bad for a Newbie. Many thanks to the nice ladies at the Gin Gin Op shop next to Foxies for helping me out when I got stuck. While those evil fisherpersons were in the tackle shop I was able to nip in next door for some good tips on knitting!

Here is a shot of Ferg trying to work out whether to go with no 4 or no 6 needles for the arvo session.

[Feral]

PS full report is in the Fillet and Release Group discussion area.

[ellicat]

That's a cracking effort Feral ! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

One of the many good laughs for the week ! :laugh:

[Feral]

Myself and several other AFO members were called a liar by a certain catch and release Nazi in last years Monduran report. All I can say is this is still on the wall same as last year, despite what the C&R Nazi reckoned.

Sign on the wall at Monduran

[Feral]

Closeup of the relevant bit

[Feral]

And here is the holding cage. Great community spirit by the stocking association and I for one fully support it!

[kriso]

yep it is a fantastic setup , i too had a look at the signs great read about the lakes barra population!

[ellicat]

It should also be noted that it's very difficult to get your lure back out of that shute.

I shouldn`t but... Please Explain

[ellicat]

Just a joke Gad. I didn't really try to fish one out of there :laugh:

[BR65]

Sounds like a great trip fellas, well done!

Pity the big girls didnt want to play, maybe the timing was a bit out with the migration down to the basin, what do you think? The moon this week coming will be interesting!

Hard to say though, a lot of water has been pumped out lately. There were a lot of fish being pulled from the main basin island, and the island in the mouth of Bird 2 weeks ago when I was up last, looked like a parking lot in the late arvos, not for us, we found a few fish in H, 2 mile and around the first cut thru. Had a 50/50 conversion rate, but thats barra fishing.

Feral, sent you a couple of P.M.'s.

Not to sure about some of what you have said though?
