Cool, just after my Birthday, I'm in !

Much better location than the hinze with no steep hills to walk up at the camp itself.

Petrol both 2 and 4 stroke with no hp limits allowed.

located at the top end of the dam near the timber and away from the waterski area.

You can leave your boat at the waters edgeas launch area is on the same property but i would remove sounders and rods as a precaution as the launch area is a couple of hundred yards away and out of sight of the camp area.

Wonder if night sessions are allowed there as I dont think that its a SEQ water dam.

Anyhow I am In.

Cheers

yeh it's seq water and 6am-6pm has been recently introduced I'm fairly sure

Is this a boats only thing? Or are landbased anglers welcome?

[rayke1938]

Quite a bit of shoreline to fish from but it will depend on how much weed is there.

If steve wilkes runs to form he will have leccy powered canoes or quintrex explorers available for people who do not own a boat. I reckon that would be a much better option as it will open up a much larger area for you to fish.

Is Steve running this one?

yoop, so in..... cant wait!

Who is this Steve guy? Has there been boats to hire on previous trips?

[rayke1938]

Steve Wilkes is the owner of Sports Tuition and he has just aquired the management of Camp Lakefire. Steve has always run previous Winter Camps.

Do a search on prev ious camps.

He is a very proficient operator and does all the organising including supply of bait and catering and accomodation.He can even supply fishing gear if you do not have any.

It is a really good chance for freshwater novices to learn all about freswwater fishing as Steve will take you through the basics of how to rig your line,knots etc.

It is a total package all you have to bring is clothes and a sleeping bag and pillow.

Just bumped the reports on the last 3 camps the 2008 one is pertinent as it was held at Camp Lakefire. The fishing will be a bit different as this year the dam is full.
