After talking to a few local anglers we have decided to scrap the "Bream" category of this event.

In its place we have, at the request of several AFO members added a "Bass" category to fill the void.

This is pretty exciting for us as it will the first event we have run that will include both fresh and salt water species.

The Boreen Point camping ground is a short paddle to the top of that reach of the river.

Thanks for that!

Do you think many people will fish the lake itself, or just the stretches of river?

Mate the lake is very shallow and barren in some places.

I think there would have to be flatties and whiting in there, and maybe bream crusing the shallows at night but my understanding is its hard to crack this code, maybe just because the lake is so massive!

I think the rivers and creeks are more fishable as it essentially bottle necks the fish into an area with more easily identified snags, drop offs etc...

Great to see Bass as a target species, Some big Jacks and the odd Barra are also taken from the same waters.

In fact the biggest Jack that I have ever seen from any estuary has come from the fresh waters of the everglades. It was 67cm, unfortunately I did not catch it, I have also seen a 57cm model from there and plenty in the high 40's.

The yak fisherman can launch from Elander point or drive up to harrys hut and launch from there. If you book in advance you can also camp on the upper Noosa river but numbers are restricted.

Cant wait for this now!

Are you going to fish this one Gus?

Well I cant compete. But yes ill fish.

HQ hours will not be disimilar to BRC so should have the afternoons and night to fish my heard out.

With that being said id love to deckie for a few different people to get a chance to chat with more members so ill be sticking my hand up for spots closer to the date. Wont take a spot a potential competitor might benefit from though.

Just wondering if it has been confirmed for the HQ, was thinking of starying at the boreen point camping grounds or the Apollonian Hotel. It looks like they pretty much back up on each other so just seeing what the general concensus was. Was looking at booking early so don't miss out. This will be my first social, so don't want to be stuck some where 30k away, plus will have the missus and boy along so need to confirm accomadation. Sorry it will be my second social, hopefully will be at the wavebreak island social as well.

Mate the HQ will be at Boreen Point. Exact location pending but between the Camping ground, the Hotel and the boat ramp.

In short if you book in Boreen Point you will be there.

A few members have already booked at the camp grounds and there will be a Saturday evening social, whether it be formalised or just "rock and enjoy" and the Appollonian :)
