Yeap should be good. Im not sure how many boats have comitted though yet. Hopefully ill be decky for Brian D so we should all bump heads closer to the date and work out timings, locations etc so we can meet up on land or on the water. What camp site you planning use noname?

Cheers.

Brunswick Heads beckons.

Booked into cabin. In between dawn starts for a fish on the walls and surf beach, it'll be take the kids to the beach and enjoy cold drinks each arvo.

[bigtez]

I will most likely be working on someones boat, but hopefully i will get a trip up the passage in. I should be fishing the ABT up there this year so might be time to get a bit more familiar with the area.

[Dibbs]

I'll be out in the Richmond River down Balina way. Sitting in a tiny canoe with a small little engine on it. LOL

Nice one pinkey. Noosa is awesome this time of year. 1000's tourist fisher people during the day coz of the long weekend. But night time fires.

I usually walk around to Hells gates or any of the other headlands to escapre the crowds during the day. Its a great place and you can site some awesome fish.

I have to admit though its been years since I was a regular up there. (used to the family holiday destination like every single holiday!).

yeah cant wait ill be there for a week. Cant wait cos that place screams surface fishing, im staying on the water so will be fishing every night , dont realy have the right gear for Hells gates but might still check it out. Hopefully have a decant report with some good pics to put up when i get back.

[fishingnut]

heading to bribie beach for the long weekend, booked the last remaining camp site :ohmy: so will be fishing the beaches at night to avoid the crowds during thr day and lots of cold ones too, gotta keep hydrated:lol:

Texas had a bit of a flood go thru a couple of weeks ago, so the Dumaresq should be reasonable clear of weed.

[Feral]

Looks like Kilcoy Fishing Clubs first comp of the year is that weekend, otherwise I'll be bunkering down, same as at easter, its the only safe place to be!

[fishingnut]

night fish mate its the only way to do it, nice and cool not too many people= fishy for me

Hells gates is a great walk and you can sit the afternoon away watching the waves smash onto the rocks, or the dolphins playing around in the waves, or... I'm sure you'll find something to do when you get out there, even if you just sit and watch the world go by!!

Fishing wise, if you know where Woods Bays are, I'd hit there of a morning or afternoon session - great place to fish!! I'm planning on heading up there this Sunday for a session with the sp's and poppers... and with any luck will be up that way for the Australia Day long weekend too!!

Hope you have a great time up there and I'd be keen to know how you get on!!

I reckon the cod would be feverishly defending their new holes and snags (with any luck)

If you do head out that way and you take your yak, I reckon above Bonshaw weir for a few km's would be worth the paddle.

[straddiebrad]

a few of us are heading to straddie if the weather is kind to us

[Hartsford]
