AFO Yak day?

[Liquor Box]

Has there ever been a Yak day for posters who own a yak?

It would be great to meet up for a fish together, maybe we could challenge the stinkboaters to a competition?

Thoughts???

[Ash]

Hadf a small one up Shultz a while ago. Was great fun. Should organise another one for sure. Maybe the Stanly?

[Angus]

Yeah we have at Schultz. And Baroon.

Mate id be happy to organise one. It just wont be before the BRC.

Angus

[ellicat]

Geez I find that (stinkboaters) an unnecessary and offensive term. :pinch:

[Angus]

I have a desire to do that Bribie Passage trip still. Its just the logistics i dont have time deal with until after the Classic. With a big trip its best to set aside a date early.

SO if we want to aim for like Feb or something? Then the fishing will be great and it will be easier to organise...

Angus

Of course this does not stop someone doing something in teh meantime. I am only referring to me organing like an \"official\" AFO Yak day.

Maybe chuck something in the \"Going Fishing\" Or \"Fishing Events\" section and see what happens.

Yea I would like to see them 'yak after 40hp of Merc has gone through the middle of their ship!

Nah, I would be in for a yak and a fish. Would have to aquire one from somewhere. Goddamn, here goes more money out of the account

If you want to loose some money to a yak, i can help you with that

God Angus... I think that was the worlds fastest reply!

Yes I do know the AFO shop stocks Viking Kayaks and you get little 'goodies' with every purchase. See I have been checking it out... seriously I have.

[Angus]

World fastest reply hahahaha. Call it good service

If you ever want to borrow one to try out booty \"try before you buy style\" just let me know.

I thinks its already been mentioned as well, but there is an awesome new model coming out specifically designed for fishing.

Angus

[Angus]

Back to the topic though.

Would anyone be interested in a larger style AFO Yak day? Next Feb? Even March? Give me some time to think and plan.

Angus

[username_taken]

definately! might not be up for a marathon trip still by then, but a good day/weekend trip would be fun!

sounds good, but it needs to be easy to get to for everyone, maybe the river??? could run with the tide both ways and cover a lot of ground

[Angus]

Yeah i agree.

Or a lake trip.

Lakes are awesome for New and experienced Yakkers.

What if we teed something up with the cabins where Steve Wilkes stays for his Hinze Dam Charter trips..?

Or Camp at Somerset.

Or if everyone is only keen for salt, camp at one of the saltwater lakes at Noosa...

Sorry just throwing some ideas out there.

Angus

[Feral]

Up at Baroon today, it is full, and bewdiful at the moment. Be a good option for the yakkers to have a meet and greet. Also sign at Maleny end say it is now open 5:30 to 7:30.

Bit weird using a boat ramp only 10 foot long after Awoonga though!

I reckon salt would be the go ... more likely to be able to eat the fish that we catch!

[adventure_angler]

Im always keen for a yak trip!!! The passage, baroon, stanley, anywhere... I'll be there

-Nelson-

[shortie]

There is always maroon or moogarah.

Can camp at waters edge.

[Beefa]

You could always go across the ferry at noosa and stay at the caravan park on the other side (Lake Coorobah is it something like that) then you could launch in the Noosa River plus the pub is close to the caravan park, always a bonus.

[Ash]

I reckon the Noosa rivers the way to go? Any camping inbetween the 2 lakes?

[ellicat]

There is Ash. A place called John Somethingorother's hut or camp or something. I'll see if I can dig it up. It's about half way between the two lakes on the inland side. Take your repellent.

[Fisher_90]

You know their is camping at MissionPoint it has toilets(which is close to the donnybrook and glass mountain creek area) on Bribie and their is also Limepocket which doesnt have toilets and its close to the Coochin, Hussey and the other couple of creeks that are near it. They all dont really have a channel so boat access is pretty small apart from coochin.

These are all $3 per person pernight and can be booked online.

[ellicat]

OK - found it. Here's a bit of info.

John's Landing (07 5447 1806) is on the bank of the Noosa River. Lake Cooroibah is 2.5km downstream and Lake Cootharaba is 5km upstream. Pets are allowed but must be controlled.

[ellicat]

Personally, I'd recommend Boreen Pt. It's the place on Lake Cootharaba. There's a good pub there too that serves great meals.

[Fisher_90]

Yeh boreen point is great and its too shallow for boats in alot of places. I wonder how their goin after those floods tho.

[Terry H]

I've got a great idea.

How about we take a day and go out into the bay chasing 6ft sharks?

Well I'd be keen

[Fisher_90]

Ummm, You go Terry i'll be right behind you...........

Yeah Terry ill be there at Kooka with you in Dec-Jan. Lets see if i can land it this time instead of just getting towed

Angus

[Terry H]

No no Angus.

I want a bigger one from the bay

[Feral]

Mate how about you try a smaller one from the yak and upgrade...

Angus

[Terry H]

Angus: Because I like to blindly plunge into the deep end.

[Feral]

Those lakes at Noosa are supposed to be crawling with sharks, give Terry a good option!

Angus, do you mean using a smaller one as a livie to catch a giant noah? I dont think even Terry has thought of that sized shark from a yak!

[James W]

mission point has my vote.....wonder why?

[Fisher_90]

You can paddle their from your house?

[pcsolutionman]

hey boys i reckon harrys hut up the noosa everglades is a great option, its the best wild bass fishery in the country and the scenery is beautiful teatree stained water and overhanging paper barks with deep undercut banks. there is some good camping there too.

Lee

[James W]

fisher-yep. ..but i have never been there!..and rumors have it..trev and queenies are there

[pcsolutionman]

and some absolute ripper tarpon up that way. I have never fished it either but its high up on my to do list.

Lee

[shortie]

I would be keen where can you hire a yak.
