Carp Buster Comp - Wyaralong Dam SEQ - Saturday March 9 2013

[StevenM]

Hi Guys

I think the below is pretty explanatory.

The comp is being held at Wyaralong Dam on Saturday the 9th of March. Some great prizes on offer with more coming on line. The dam is located between Boonah and Beaudesert in SEQ and is being looked after by the Logan and Albert Fish Stocking Group.

I have attached the document for those who wish to download for yourself. All monies raised to purchase fish fingerlings.

The Dam is not part of the SIP so its up to mugs like myself to raise money from events like this and a million chook raffles to get fish into the dam. We just recently released just under 50,000 bass into the dam last week.

So get behind this. Its not win the cattle station type thing, but a bit of fun removing carp from our waterways and trying to restore the balance.

[Bommie]

you guys are doing a great job, thanks for the info

[crazywalrus]

sounds like a good day. I will probably come down with the boys for this day

[JarrydA]

Yep ill hopefully make it too! Good work, gotta get as many of the pests out so we can have another bass location

[Gloomy Samurai]

Can't wait. So many good fishing events around this time of the year.

[StevenM]

Great people

its all about having a bit of fun.

A few of us will be throwing pellets around the edge a week before hand to bring them close to the banks so if you are fishing you can get into a few hopefully.

[Bri The Pom]

Might have a crack at this, sounds like fun.

[Gregpen]

Good way to raise some funds and to remove some pests, will try to get to this one.

[jeff f]

any camping available on site?

[Bommie]

yeh Jeff and I'm sure it's free, first in best dressed though, the only problem is there's no shade, no trees at all

[tomca]

yep camping is still free, but very limited. There are about 8 level sites all squashed together on 2 terraces. Parking on the access road, about 20m from the camping area. The rest of the camping sites are very steep, pic attached. And no shower facilities, just toilets.

there is another camp ground about 5 km away accessible by yak or mountainbike. It has a bit of shade and toilets also.

[Bommie]

sounds like the go would be to load up the sail boat and camp at the second site I think,,,,, I need that shade!

I will have a new born by the end of February and I think an overnighter will be out of the question for me, so I'll do a prefish in the next couple of weeks

[Angus]

[dassa]

[Dubbzy]

SO can someone shed some light on the best set up baits / lure to catch carp?

[werewolf]

What time will the final presentation be? I think I read that the weigh in closes at 2 PM.

[tomca]

small grub style soft plastics in silver or grey

big juicy earthworms on the bottom or a tin of corn kernels.

Try raiding the neighbours mulberry tree for bait also.

If Cooper keeps up the good behavior, me and Maxi might score a day pass for this one.

[Eug]

would like to go to this but might have to give it a miss unfortunately.

[Bommie]

will probably go out there next week and throw some pellets around the edges were the is good land base fishing to start to bring them in

[tomca]

Bommie,

the day use area and the camping area has chear banks for fishing, to the left of the boat ramp

[crazywalrus]

can you boat or yak on the dam?

[tomca]

You can take the big boat Ted, just can't fire up the big motor. Electric only. The ramp is pretty long, but wide enough and ample trailer parking as well.

You don't need to go far I have seen plenty of carp right at the ramp cruising the edges.

[sweresy]

Gutted would have loved to fish this!! good luck

[Bri The Pom]

Google/youtube hair rigs for carp and corn is a great bait, the trick is to get them feeding in the same spot and your hook bait in a pile of free offerings.

Ramp is a lot shorter with the dam being at 100% Its the walk to the car park that will be long.

that photo of the ramp on page 1 is at 100% Ray, the walk won't get any shorter than that.

[Mr FeLiX]

First up, great cause here to all involved, really good work. I've just sold me car but if I've got a bike and my licencing done by then, I'll bring a travel rod and hit it. Been trying in the logan recently, huge amounts of carp in there, average of 10-12 per 2 hour session, all on bread. Be interesting in a dam environment

[StevenM]

Anyway, out to burley some edges today. Me mate Bushwacker Steve Moody did it yesterday and said they were all around the edge.

Comon people, come along.
