The 2012 'Fishing Mania' Summer Classic fishing competition run by Brisbane Fishing Online is taking place on

Friday 17th February - Sunday 19th February 2012.

TIME AND VENUE:

Event Headquarters (HQ) will be announced closer to the date, but will be located in the Noosa River vicinity, Noosa. The Event Headquarters is where you need to report for weighing-in (submitting photo entries) and prize presentation. The 2012 Summer Classic fishing competition will commence at 00:00am Friday 17th February 2012 and conclude at 12:00pm Sunday 19th February, with the prize presentation commencing at 12:30pm.

ENTRY FEE AND REGISTRATION:

If you register early for this event you can save with Early Bird rates. If entry fees are paid before 10th January 2012 the fee is $25 per competitor. Entries made after this date but before the competition are $40 per competitor. You can register on the day, however this can only be done at the Event HQ and only cash payments will be accepted. The fee for registering on the day at the event is $60 per competitor and the entry fee must be paid and report for briefing done before you commence fishing to be eligible to weigh-in. Entry forms not correctly filled out will render the entrants ineligible for the prize and trophy draw. All competitors will be able to sign-in online before the event and will be emailed the Unique Item and Angler Number so you will be able to start fishing first thing Friday morning. All fish photos however will need to be brought in to Event HQ to have them recorded. Event HQ will be manned 9am -12 midday Saturday and Sunday with BBQ and Prize Presentation after 12 midday on the Sunday. The Event HQ will be open from 9am - 12pm each day to submit entries of fish (if you need to turn up outside these hours to submit entries you may need to contact an event staff member to ensure someone is around). The night before the event each angler will receive a unique Competitor Number which will be used to identify them throughout the competition. Ensure you keep this number and return it to organisers at the prize presentation for inclusion in a possible lucky door prize. No number means no chance for lucky door prize.

BOUNDARIES:

The boundaries for the competition are from the mouth/bar of the Noosa River up river as far as you can go. Entrants may fish anywhere in between these limits. Entrants are advised to seek authority from private owners if intending to fish from the bank of privately owned land.

Count me in for this one for sure, anyone thinking of camping at johns landing?

Cheers

I just googles johns landing and found this as a review it leave's a lot to be desired but quite funny.

Our first thoughts were Wolf Creek also. What a creepy place, drove in and straight back out again. Cannot believe humans can live like that. We have never seen anything like it in our life time. We felt very uneasy as we were given directions to go in and have a look around. Not a pleasant place to visit, not recommended. The place should be bulldozed and cleaned up. What I want to know is, are the ferals care takers or do they own the property? I hope the shire council can do something to have it cleaned up or at least cleaned up once and for all

Thanks for the heads up there Dassa, I wonder how long ago that was posted and if the place had changed at all? Still keen to camp might just look at other options instead.

I was told once that Johns Landing had a bunch of ferals that lived permantly in the park in old run down caravans but have since been moved on and the place cleaned up a lot.

Last report was some guys saying what a great place it was to camp right on the river and quite a good boat ramp.

Whack in for a couple of rec leave days and the weekend off.... I am going to have some time off before then, so will include that weekend and deckie for you.

I quite liked this review on Google:

Is this the place they filmed deliverence? The only person missing was Burt Reynolds.

I think the hippies might make the stay entertaining

Just came back from a weekend up there.

I checked out a fair few places for accomadation and will do a seperate thread on these. In short there is tonnes of locations including the hotel, motels and 3 seperate camping grounds.

Aussie123: Mate its a huge system and people will most probably be staying all over the place. Thus the HQ will be a drive for some people no matter what. By making it at the Hotel (if possible) we ensure we the HQ can double as an awesome location for a big saturday night social, central for the majority, have ammenities for staff, are close to several boat ramps, have secure lock up for computers and prizes etc, and most importantly a constant and reliable source of power so we can keep track of entries etc. The decision was made by the events commitee to increase the event to 3 days as opposed to 2 in order to ensure there was plenty of time for participants to get around.

Cheers.

Hey Guys

We drove in to Johns Landing camp ground this morning to catch up with the guys from the Noosa Jack Off who were staying there

The guys who stayed there found it ok, they were there in good numbers and had a large area to themselves.

But for $5 a night you will get what you pay for lol

Location wise for fishing it's great as it's right on the river and has a boat ramp to launch from, for guys with Yak's it's also very easy to launch and can get stuck in to the fish pretty quickly.

With HQ planned to be at Boreen Point I would look to stay else where other the John's landing that is more central.

Personally I found the place is a little creepy!!! and was waiting for Banjo's to start playing and for my car to mysteriously break down never to leave the place again hahaha

For those who were talking about permanent residents, they are still there and apparently quite a diverse bunch but the guys fishing the jack off said they kept to themselves

There is also a dirt road / rocky road that runs for 2kms so no real drama but could be a pain in the butt for some cars !!!

P.S The pub at Boreen Point has an awesome menu that did not disappoint and the food tasted great, there is also accommodation there which looked quite good but not sure of the final details

Anyway hope this helps

Cheers, Manni

is there camping available close too or at the pub if it is going to be the base?

in my opinion the thing that makes these events great is the social aspect of everyone staying at the one place.

cant see sat night at the pub being real good if no one can have a drink because they have to drive allover the district to return to thier accomodation
