queensland Bream Social ver 3.0! - Brisbane River

[51MPL]

It's me again With the help of Scope & Crazywalrus (Jono & Ted) we wish to bring to you the third installment of the bream social! The humble Brisbane River will be the location for the event and the date; mid/late October as Brisbane River Classic pre-fish =]

When: mid/late october - exact date tba ; what kind of tide would people like to fish for the day?

Where: Brisbane River! - Limits? River + Mouth - allow the bay islands?

Why: Get out and have fun!

Who: YOU!

A couple things to think about:

What date would you like to fish?

Tide ?

Location limits? - allow bay islands or not?

Bait? - create 2 categories ; bait fishos + lure and see who wins? We can keep this as a running debate on bait v lure haha

Thanks guys, hopefully a big turnout should be fun!

Im in, bris river only no bay islands, lure only no bait.....just my 2cents

[Keen-as-fisho]

Brissy river, Happy days :woohoo:

My thoughts:

Mouth of brissy, the end of the extention as the boundary.

A high tide preferably.

Targets bream and flatties.

Any of the two last weekends of october.

Colmslie as HQ.

my 2 cents

sounds the goods to me mate

[Keen-as-fisho]

As for an upper boundary, I don't think theres a need for one.

[crazywalrus]

I will be in the lure category however there are quite a few bait stallwarts in AFO that are being excluded with the current format. It is a social so what does it matter. Maybe if we continually get the biggest fish we will win them over to the dark side.

I for one am looking forward to this one.

I think limits should be the River and Tributaries only.

[dassa]

Brisbane river suits me down to the ground and either of the last two weekends even better as I'm away for the first two,first week monduran and out fishing crazywalrus,second 1770 just thought I would throw that in :laugh: :laugh:

cheers dassa

[tomca]

you guys set this up as a informal tournament, so I'd encourage you to pick a day that suits and not tides.

Boundary to the poo chute, thats the end of the river and Mt Crosby upper limit.

[grant h]

sounds good to me. dates are fine.

[51MPL]

Lookin good thanks for the feedback fellas! River only and no bay island seems to be the go?

[Angus]

River only. But the front rock wall is always fun.

Last weekend of October looks ok at the moment.

Have a wedding to go to on the 3rd sat of the month though.

Angus

P.S. Youll never be able to cater for everyone regretfully mate. I reckon its better to just set a date and hope for the best

[kriso]

i reckon bait class would be okay, it would get some more numbers in, as for boundaries n obay islands but maybe include the front wall? say no more then 50m out from the mouth.

last 2 weekends suit me okay too but i will only make it if its a sunday as im working sat morns now

Though you are organising the social mate so just set what date , place , time you feel like.

[Eug]

i may pop in for a visit... but not sure if i'll be chasing bream (i'll try )

[plugger]

please include mud island as its not far, and some nice bream floating around, i'm all for lures only too.

Where is jono havnt heard from him in a while ?

[51MPL]

He's been working hard, also net problems we still don't have the pics from the first social haha

You gonna bring the yak for this one grant?

[plugger]

just a suggestion 51MPL i know you cant please everyone, dont think it would affect things if you included mud island and the rockwall at the mouth, gives people more options instead of fishing spots in the river already worked over by other anglers, the river could get very crowded as being a weekend and also if you get a large number of entrants, people could struggle to find good spots. if people want to stay in the river then they can otherwise head out to mud. please consider this option.

Yeh mate for sure didnt buy it for nothing. im loving the yak.

grant.

[ellicat]

Judging by the results of the first two comps it might pay to let the bait fishermen have a go so something a little impressive can be weighed in if the bream are spooked by all this extra attention in the river :dry:

It is just a social afterall.

[jeff f]

yeah i'd give it a bash if bait was included

i get bored chucking lures if the fish aren't interested

[Davo_Dinkum]

i think include bait ,that gives us not so good lure fisho's something to do.

i'm not so good with lures ,so if i can't get a decky that a lure fisherman to help me /guide me .

i lose interest in lure fishing pretty quick most of the time .

i reckon the river and the front wall is fine for the area to fish ,i see no reason to include the bay .

as for the upper boarder ,u probably don't need 1.

but collages or the old weir would be upper border if u need 1 .

really i can see many people driving to colsmlie to start then drive a hr up the river to fish .

from colsmlie i could not see my self going any further than new farm or the front wall of fisherman's island .

so keep it simple and have fun its a social after all .

[wesfish]

i challenge all the lure fishos with me using bait. dont be scared of me out doing you :laugh: brisbane river boundaries, rock wall to the corner on the southern bank and poo shute northern bank. high tide best for the chance at the bigger bream, well in the spots i know any ways but if you guys want to stick to lures then there shouldnt be gulps, or scents used to imitate bait :laugh: :laugh: jj

sounds like a fun day and if its social then bait and lures can be used. that way it comes down to the luck as well as skill, not just skills in luring that alot have not mastered yet

[joe 09]

do we have a date for this?

[ellicat]

Not firm yet, but I think the last Sunday of October has been mentioned (31st).

Of course this is also Halloween and my Anniversary (no coincidence :whistle: :laugh: )

will have to agree with Wes on that. bait is gun on bream in the brissie.

[51MPL]

I do like the sound of bait v lure =]

[Angus]

I think it has to be bait vs lure. It is a social after all.

In saying that AFO comps allow both as well!

Angus

[Keen-as-fisho]

Yeah I agree, bait v lure should be fun. I've always done better with artificial anyway

[51MPL]

What would be the pros/cons of allowing access to the bay islands? It's a social comp after all and i have no dramas with that?

From watching AFC i saw a lot of them hit the islands for monster breamm

[straddiebrad]

i will put my hand up for this one should be a good turn out.brad

[crazywalrus]

if we are going to have costumes maybe the best costume and best boat. Or is this getting out of control??

offers more fishing ground, plus different styles of fishing eg...flats,deep,etc..

[plugger]

has a date been set in concrete yet? how about the saturday for the social 30th?

[sunnydays]

I would be keen to have a go at the bait for this one.

haven't done a social yet cause of all the lures!.... nothing against them, I just mainly fish with bait.

I would be land based and probably wouldn't stray too far from Colmslie

Looking forward to hearing some more concrete details.

Cheers!
