^^ i'd like to know about the redclaw as well. Would be great to add to the nights dinner and maybe take a few home.

Terry H · February 20, 2009

Gazza, last time we were there, you were not permitted on the water after dark.

Correct no fishing after dark.

Not out rules, but the councils.

There has never been red claw stocked in the dam. Whether they are there by accident or not? I have no idea. I have never seen any.

jeff f · February 20, 2009

and the time before that they got pissed and fell in looking for the water in the dark

happywally · February 20, 2009

1. If coming for saturday only what is the cost? is it still full cost?

2. Is anyone looking for a deckie? cause im a noob and i would love to be guided by someone more senior as well as picking up experience...

Ill clarify these questions for everyone.

Anyone is welcome to come along on Saturday for the social aspect of the camp. To do this will just be $10 for the BBQ.

However, only those fishing the full camp and thus paying the full ammount are:

* Eligible for prizes.

* Can use the live shrimp (these are bloody expensive).

* And have dibs on a sports tuition canoe or boat.

If these things were to be included it would just be a standard Sports Tuition full day charter which costs $110 bucks. Might as well pay the extra $70 and come for the weekend

Happywally: I would strongly encourage you to come for the whole time. These events are always a lot of fun and everyone going is friendly and helpful.

Cheers.

Brian D · February 21, 2009

Hey Angus, you forgot me. I registered and spoke with Steve, and sent email and sent PM. I there for the full weekend

Angus · February 21, 2009

jeff f · February 22, 2009

i picked up the boat and got the low down off ray this morning

Angus · February 22, 2009

Ill be posting a detailed list of who is going, boat allocation etc tonight.

Really looking forward to this guys!

Angus

kstod · February 22, 2009

yeah count me in, my names kurt stoddart im pretty new to this, also can you put my friends name down too its chris smith and well both do the saturday and sunday.

also are you aloud to use petrol powered engines in hinze because ive heard that youre only aloud electric motors at the dam seeaming as its gold coast drinking water supply. correct me if im wrong

thanks

jeff f · February 22, 2009

yep electric or paddle only

rayke1938 · February 22, 2009

Welcome to site Kurt.

it is electric only no petrol motors allowed on boats.If you cannot remove your motor put your name down for a sports tuition boat or canoe or borrow a yak. A couple of people have offered use of yaks.

Actually if you are only a newbie to fresh water or hinze it is good to be on one of the sports tuition craft as Steve really looks after you . Either way I am positive you will enjoy it.

Cheers

Bugger I might have to pack an extra carton!:laugh: :woohoo:

No one has asked for a yak yet so at this stage I am not packing one, sing out if you need me to stick one in the cannonball otherwise I'll leave them at home.

mate if the fish dont want to plkay we can raft up and have a party in the middle of the dam

Brian D · February 24, 2009

me too please :cheer:

jeff f · February 24, 2009

shortie

you went past it to get to the kayak camp mate

its on the right just before the bridge

Dazzamcgee · February 24, 2009

So has the location been decided?

Need some directions.....

kstod · February 24, 2009

these are the directions that steve wilkes sent me via email after i booked the charter through him. (i dont know if this is to the right campsite but im guessing it is)

Directions

From Brisbane you are looking at around 1 hr 15min for the trip.

From Brisbane, heading down the M1, take exit 69 which is Nerang North / Surfers Paradise. Down the off ramp turn right at the lights onto Price Street. Do not veer off this road...it leads into Nerang Murwillumbah Rd. You basically follow that road for around 20 minutes. You will cross a large bridge (Pine Creek Bridge). Take a hard left after the bridge and the campsite is on the hill.

Kurt you are spot on.

Perfect directions mate.

With the water levels being so high can we launch from the camp or do we need to launch from the west ramp?

Have the bass started returning to the back water yet or are they schooling further down the dam towards the wall?

Has the rain slowed things down and spread out the schools?

Any word on Toga?

After meeting at the campsite we are getting the brief and then launching at the Scout Camp site. Same place we held the Kayak Camp and just around the corner from our camp site. So no big drive. This location will also allow us to lock the gates and have good security for our cars

As for news on the fish, the bass are biting. Steve had a trip recently where 4 toga were caught which is a record! So hopefully its all good

Dazzamcgee · February 25, 2009

Can we expect to see the ranger first thing?

I need to purchase a permit!

Dazzamcgee · February 25, 2009

Is there a link to where I can purchase one?

justham · February 25, 2009

Malcolm · February 25, 2009

I didn't think Hinze was a SIP dam and I also think the permit is included in our weekend package.I'm sure someone will comfirm this

The fishing permit is included yes if you are competing for the whole weekend.

There are a couple ofd day trippers that will need to get one though.

Cheers.

Angus

P.S. Full list of participants and boat allocation will be made at 6:00pm tonight (deadline for registration).

Cheers.

justham · February 25, 2009
