Brisbane Fishing Online Winter Camp

[Angus]

Dear Members.

The details have been finalised for the Brisbane Fishing Online Winter Camp.

I have locked the other thread discussing this topic as not to become confusing.

Please use this thread for discussion but email me your confirmation.

Attention Anglers!

I invite you to attend the Brisbane Fishing Online Winter Camp.

Commencing Saturday the 2nd June at 10:00am.

We will meet at the Western Ramp and move onto the camp site AFTER the days fishing. The fishing will be supervised and guided by Sports Tuitions very own Steve Wilkes.

We will fish the day away targeting species such as Bass, Golden Perch (oh yes they are there), Saratoga, Silver Perch and Mary River Cod.

Water craft (Quintrex 370 Travellers powered by 55lb Minn Kota electric motors and 6 Rosco Bass Catcher Canoes powered by 40lb Minn Kota electric motors) will be provided but feel free to bring your own vessel. Remember though, electrics only!

Once the day is over we shall retire the camp site for yarns and camp style fish and chips! I encourage everyone to bring a deck chair so we can sit on the bank and enjoy a drink and a good yarn. Being winter, a wee dram may also be in order!

The following morning we will hit the water again. For those keen anglers keen to bag a toga, feel free to be on the water at dawn.

A fly fishing workshop will also be available led by Leeann Payne for those who wish to master waving the wand. Leeann has had fishing articles published in both national and international fishing magazines and websites since 1994. She has been a guest on many fishing videos, radio stations and television programs. Leeann was a presenter for Channel 9’s “Hooked on Water” television show. Most recently Leeann has presented segments on Fishing DVD, series 2-5, with Fishing DVD 5 being a segment on bass fishing.

Leeann has presented seminars at a number of Fishing Expos and Boat Shows from Brisbane to Melbourne. Leeann has passion, skill and knowledge for fishing and she is the first Australian female angler to land both a Black Marlin and Sailfish on fly tackle.

We are extremely fortunate to have a person of the calibre of Leeann to present a workshop at this event.

Details:

When: 2nd & 3rd June 2007

Cost: $165.00.

Ill be there alright.

Might get a better chance to meet a few people.

Good to see your going again Rowena!

T

[Angus]

Just recived the information to answer a few questions.

Toga go a little bit off the bite in winter.

However, the bass school more densley and are still very active thought the hours we will be commonly fishing (10:00-5:00).

As suggested by Travis, the Winter camp has also been timed to coincide with the AFO Fish Of The Month, June being of course Bass.

Last week a 50cm specimen was caught from the dam so the competition should be good!

Good luck to all who attend!

Angus

[blue_mako]

How many places are available for the camp?

Troy

[Angus]

Troy: Im trying to get 30 people. If some people bring their own boats we could even do a few more.

Whatever happens it should be an awesome meet and greet.

Angus.

[Feral]

Angus,

I'll ask my mate Wee Tek (the bloke coming down from Cairns) if he and his wife would be interested, he might not be able to confirm until later though, wont know if he can get weekend of until he actually starts work!)

I'll also ask Ferg.

I dunno if I want to take my boat or not at this stage. Might want to fish with Steve's boats/ canoes, or might go with someone else in their boat, or take mine and have spots available to others.

Can you ask Steve if some bring their own boats will they have access to power at the camp for charging batteries?

I dont remember there being a lot of space in the car park either, so you might also want to ask Steve if there is room for a few boats and 15 - 20 odd cars in grounds! People in cars only might have to park down hill from cabins to allow boaties access to parking lot and power.

[Aaron H]

Definitley count me in, sounds like a lot of fun

[Feral]

Ferg is coming, and we will want a tinnie (or canoe if tinnies all gone)

Also people, when they say blanket or sleeping bag I'd go both, it will be COLD, camp is up in the mountains behind the dam.

Camping is in cabins (dorm room style) with 12 beds to a room, but there are quite a few cabins, 30 people will probably be 5 to a cabin? Pathways around cabins are steep, but sealed.

[Aaron H]

Oops forgot to invite girlfriend, she would also like to go so:

Aaron Hough and Belinda Munro confirmed

aaah that explains a lot, you've only got a girl friend, not a wife, no wonder you get to go fishing a lot!

[Aaron H]

Yeah mate she will be the first one to tell you I am to tight to buy a ring :laugh:

[Angus]

Awesome guys 23 confirmed already.

As you can see i have begun allocating boats so let me know!

Angus

We can put 2 in the canoes three in the tinnies.

But some tinny people might want just 2.

First in best dressed!

Angus

[novrain]

I'm in too - merv

[Angus]

You will notice to the recent rish of people signing up that there is only one tinny left out of all the water craft!

A couple of singles can fit in tinny's with 2. But after that it will be own boats only.

Just thought id better let you know if you still keen.

Angus

[Oztrav]

yeah dude sorry but how much does it cost?

Tanya Row likes to come fishing when we catch stuff and last weekend was pretty good for us so i can drag her along too

great hey

[Angus]

Travis: Its all itemised in the first post mate.

But to save lookign through it. $165.00

This of course covers: Food, Camping Ground, Boats, Bait, Fishing Permit, Gear, Fly Lessons etc.

Cheers.

Angus

[Oztrav]

each?

[Angus]

Yes.

Considering its 60 for a half day.

120 for a full day.

An over night camp for 165 is pretty good value.

Angus

[Oztrav]

yeah true it is good value

[Angus]

I have a bad habit of rationalising everything

[Oztrav]

would definately love to come will start saving

[Feral]

Angus wee Teck is hot to go, but cant confirm until he starts his new job and checks if he can have weekend off.

I suppose easiest way is to hold third seat in the tinnie with Ferg and I in case he can make it.

[Angus]

Ok guys well this is how it stands.

Apart from 1 place in Tinny 4, and 2 places in tinny 7 we are booked out.

Awesome.

Angus

[Oztrav]

sweet look forward to knocking over a few bass and some rums

i learnt the knot to do so i will be instituting 4 or 6 pound line so i have to play them better

[rayke1938]

Angus if there is enough cabin accomodation and not enough boat seats I can bring my boat and graham and IO will go in it.That would allow another two people to go.

Ray

[Angus]

Ok so at the moment we have booked all available spots on boats.

Others still can attend but will have to supply their own craft.

Please pay Steve Wilkes directly ONLINE as well as sending him BY MAIL the required completed forms.

When making your Online payment, please clearly state your name and AFO Winter Camp so we can accurately keep track of payments.

Steve's Bank Details, Postal Address and the Required Form can be found here: http://www.sportstuition.com.au/docs/registration_weekends.pdf

I will send a list of those confirmed to Steve so he may mark them off as payments come in. I will also mark them off on the first post of this forum.

Please make your payments 4 weeks before the event. This way if anyone does pull out we will be able to potentially fill the void.

To recap the cost is $165 Per Person.

This will include, camping permits, fishing permits, food, boats, gear (if required), live shrimp and the chance to have a fly lesson with Leeann Payne. Not to mention expert guidance of where the fish are biting.

Cheers and thanks for the enthusiasm!

Angus

Ray

[Angus]

Too right Ray!

[Angus]

Bump:whistle:

[Angus]

As the time draws closer i just want to remind everyone that Steve is after payment 1 month early.

This will give us the chance to fill in any gaps if people bail.

All details can be found in this thread.

There will be a few people bringing Kayaks as well for an early morning Sunday fish if anyone is interested.

Angus
