Brisbane Fishing Online Winter Camp

[adventure_angler]

I will be using my own set-up for lure fishing, however, if I could use one of Steve's rods for bait fishing that would be great.

I should also be arriving at the dam before 10 so I can help unload and stuff earlier.

Thanks

Graham and I will be using our own gear.

Hell would freeze over before Ferg used a spinning reel!

I'll be using my own as well.

[Angus]

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I would suggest everyone subscribes to this thread to ensure they dont miss any unforseen changes.

Cheers.

Who is going to use a live fish tank for the comp? I figure by the time you have a tackle bag each, an esky for lunch (and a few drinkies), a few rods and a cooler full of shrimp, room for another esky to use as a live tank might be a bit limited.

I thought it might be easier to use one of those mesh fish baskets you dangle over the side. Might be a bit easier on the fish as well, if you forget to keep changing the water in the live tank it can heat up and kill the fish.

What do others reckon?

[rayke1938]

You can also tether them

Feral: Whatever you think will work best mate. I was just aiming at avoiding unessecery killing.

Dear Members,

Due to some late cancellations i have had to reshuffle just slightly the distribution in boats and canoes.

Please see revised list on front page.

I really hope this is ok with everyone. I dont think its effects to many really.

Angus

[Feral]

Wow awesome prize pool!

Big thanks to Steve and Wilson!

I picked up a wire cage thingy from Big W today, cost $10 - should do the job. Got a net one for 4$ but it looks like it might damage the fish a bit, it can stay home.

Angus I see you have published the shirt sizes of the ladies you are taking, do you think you will be out of intensive care in time to make it to the comp?

Getting close now, cant wait to hit Hinze up again. It will be a good change from walking round in mud at North Pine. The prizes sound awesome and its good that they cover all fish species.

Just wondering if anyone is taking their yak down?

Angus

[novrain]

woo hoo, looking forward to it..

what time does the entire thing end?

[Angus]

Merv: Early afternoonish on Sunday.

Everyone: With a whole day to catch a bass, im sure most people should get one over the 40cm mark. Ill be letting anything under that go right away anyway.

I can see myself trying to bag anything in the last 30 minutes or something though

Angus

[James W]

had trouble drifting off to sleep last night thinking about bass....

[Brian D]

Well Guys and Gals

Good luck, stay safe, have fun and may you all catch heaps. I am a bit jealous :blush: that I am not a part of the big gig but work has to take priority as I am sure you understand.

I hope to do a day trip and see you at least one of the days, if not Good Luck again.

Brian D:)

[Aaron H]

G vibes on the way Feral, had my missus hide them for the last few weeks so I didn't use them:laugh:

Brian, whats this work takes priority? definitely something wrong with you mate very out of character:laugh: I only go to work so I can fund my fishing trips;)

[rayke1938]

Ute is loaded ,ready to go , but cant find my tackleback will have to get one on the way,

Ray

[Angus]

Good luck everyone!!!

And James, outfish me????

Of course you will!!!

Angus

[Feral]

Ray and Graham will be the ones to beat. They got more than 50% of the catch last trip, something like 38, next best was about 12 from memory.

Tackleback Ray? Obviously your deckie needs to go to a training session or two with Jordan!

[STU]

Goodluck everyone catch plenty ( may your rods bend often )

[Brian D]

OK I spoke wih some of the guys this arvo and the bass are \"going ape\" says Angus. Ray says he caught about 60, Aaron stopped counting at 35 and Tanya caught at least 15.

I don't think Feral caught any cause he didn't respond to my message.

I would say they are having a fun time wouldn't you?

Hocko and I will be leaving Beenleigh tomorrow at about 6.am and I have room in the boat for 1 other so if anyone wants to tag along just message me or something.
