Brisbane Fishing Online Winter Camp

[jeff f]

i'm deffinately still in but my payment wont be in till first week of may, all these public holidays dont help the budget when you are a casual employee:angry:

[Angus]

No worries Jeff i trust ya

Well i trust your desire to go fishing

Talk soon.

Angus

[Angus]

I should have a mock up of the t-shirts next week.

Once i have that ill take orders, sizes and payment. For those that want them that is.

Good fishing.

Angus

[Feral]

Sounds good, I'll definately be getting one for me, and Ferg will be getting one as well (he just doesn't know it!)

[Rocket75]

Good idea guys.

Can't wait for the camp, hope that we get some good weather for the weekend.

I'm keen to give some of my own gear a go on bass etc.

Any suggestions on what sort of gear is best suited?

I have a few threadline outfits spooled with a variety of braid, from 6lb to 14lb. Rods (graphite) are 3-6kg and 4-8 kg range. I am also going to throw in an assortment of lures on the off chance that I can break my duck on bass for both bait and artificial. What lures can be recomended? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

[Feral]

Lures are tough at Hinze, lipless crankbaits (G vibes, Frenzies, and if you rich, Jackalls)and deep diving minnows have been known to work, but no where near as good as live shrimp.

6lb - 10lb braid would be fine, 6 to 8lb leader if braid is coloured. Dunno about threadlines, never used them, 3-6kilo rod should be alright. 2 to 4kilo would be more fun.

Steve supplies gear, so if you stuff does not work, you can swap to one of his rigs.

[Rocket75]

Thanks feral.

Do you use overhead reels?

I use the trusty old alvey when baitfishing in the salt, but have found the treadlines easier with lures.

I'll get myself some G Vibes, I know they come in two weights ( 11 and 18 gram I think ), which would be better? Any favourite colours? And no, there will be no Jackals for this little black duck! ( not even at staff discount:P )

[Feral]

I am an overhead novice, I generally use spinning reels.

I dont think there is any reason your threadlines would not work, I just dont know anything about them! G-vibes, blue and black worked for me last time, in the heavier ones, orange the time before in the lighter one. The heavier ones are good for jigging I found out at Baroon yesterday!

[Oztrav]

i still think that if you used a prawn/ shrimp imitation lure that you would go alright if you fished them correctly cause they go nuts on the shrimp why wouldnt they go off on the prawnstar:whistle:

[Angus]

Ill be trying a lot harder with lures this time.

But im certainly going to be trying deeper than i have in the past.

Angus

[James W]

put me down for one of those shirts gus...getting closer now..cant wait..:woohoo:

[Angus]

No worries James my man.

Once i get the design proof through ill post it up here and take orders and sizes.

It will be a simple matter of paying online to AFO and ill hand out the shirts at the camp.

Cheers.

Angus

[James W]

sweeeet;)

wonder what are the chances of getting on to some yellas out there?...you know where they are now angus;)

[Rocket75]

Hey Feral, What is the difference between spinning reels and threadlines? I thought that they were both the same. ie eggbeater's? I think that perhaps we are talking about the same animal!:laugh:

I have a penn captiva 2000 and a shimano sahara 4000.

Lures...I will get a couple of each (11+18gm in the g-vibes), just to cover all bases!

[Feral]

A thread line is like a covered version of a spinning reel, with the line coming out of the centre. A spinning reel is indeed an eggbeater.

[Angus]

Hey everyone,

Shirts are nearly ready to order.

I just need an idea of who wants one and in what size.

Obviously its not compulsorary to get one, but i would encourage it as the more we get the better the deal.

They work out at about $30.

I will have a mock up to put here soon.

But basically the T-Shirt is pale Blue.

On the left breast is the AFO Logo with Winter Camp 2007 underneath it. On the right sleeve is the Sports Tuition Logo, and on the back is the AFO Fish quite large.

Please let me know asap (and remind people who might not see this) so i can make the order.

Cheers.

Angus
