queensland Monduran 2008

[rayke1938]

Looking for expressions of interest for a trip to Monduran 2008 instead of Awoonga.

I have sent an email to the caravan park enquiring about the availanility of one of theor 3 bedroom houses for one of the following periods.

1.sat 8th november to mon 16 inclusive. full moon wed 12th.

2 sat 22 nov till mon 1/12. new moon thurs 27th.

3 sat 25th october till mon 3/11 new moon mon 27th.

I could not find any fishing comps listed for any of the above periods but they probably havent been listed yet.

www.lakem.com.au/lake-monduran-accommodation-info.php

tells all about the place.

The 3 bedroom house is $960 per week plus $160 for extra days for 6 people plus $10 per person per night for extras.

Reckon we would need at least 6 people to make it viable so have a think about it. Graham Pflaum and myself would be definates.

Cheers

id have to express some intrest in this one ray it looks very cool and nice and close travelling times is monduran ok for power boats or is it leckie only and can people camp in the yard at the house as id probably come with the trouble and strife and minnie me so camping could suit especially with shower and toilet id be happy to pay what ever to cover cost obviosly just the little one would see it as an adventure that way and the wife has a shower everyones happy

[Feral]

Faulked, the camp ground is only about 300m around the corner from the house, might be a better option than camping in the sea of boats coming and going all hours of the day and night.

Monduran is unlimited as far as boat motors go.

[faulked]

dont get me wrong i just didnt want to clog the house up with wife and child they both love fishing but they just dont eat sleep and breathe it but im working on them:lol:

[Brian D]

I am keen. Option 2 or 3 are best for me but I don't want to rule the show. I can not do option 1 but don't let that stop you. I'll join you for a weekend if you choose option 1.

[rayke1938]

Another option could be to use one of the queen sized bedrooms and that way you have airconditioned comfort.

Ray

[faulked]

hell yeh that sounds perfect ray id be able to sell aircon to sandie way easier

[rayke1938]

I have picked the 3 dates to coincide with the full/new moon periods. I picked them a latter later than this years Awoonga trip to allow the water to warm up .

Cheers

Lee

[STU]

yeah count me in ray any date will suit me

[rayke1938]

Just got an email back and both cabins and houses are booked out for october and november.

Gday Ray, unfortunately the dates that you have asked for are all booked out. We do have a houseboat that may interest you, it sleeps 10 people and is $ 360.00 per night.

Robert & Kelly Howell

Do we look at awoonga again/ or take houseboat or tent it or try for february,march, or april for a cabin

cheers

Ray

[STU]

I'm keen for what the majority want to do

[Feral]

See if the house is available at all in the summer, otherwise tents I suppose. I dont really fancy the cabins in Gin Gin, looks a bit rough, and I have had enough gear pinched!

[pcsolutionman]

doesnt bother me, either way im keen

Lee

[rayke1938]

Sent another email asking if any vancancies during summer.

Ray

[rayke1938]

Have just paid deposit on house from Saturday 22 Novenber till Monday 1/12/08.

The new moon is on Thursday 27 so it will be dark

fishing at night but the water should be warm and the barra really fireing up.

They had a cancellation and as i was first on their standby list I grabbed it whilst it was still there.

Being over 2 weekends it should accomodate anyone who just wished to come up fir a weekend.

I have a new lure bag already.

Cheers

Ray

[STU]

[Angus]

No was tempted by the Houseboat?

Live baits over the side at night

[Brian D]

[Brian D]

[pcsolutionman]

THanks Feral.

[AZZA]

November 2008 is a long long way away cant wait that long will be going up for a weekend in Feb,March at the latest if anybody is interested.

[Brian D]

Azza we are doing a trip in Feb as well. Going to Lenthals with a side trip to Monduran. The thing is mate, to get good acomodation we gotta book early.

[AZZA]

I would be interested in that although they would not let my 115hp on Lenthals , my good acomodation is a swag:)

Cheers

Ray

[Ash]

I might have missed it, but how much are we looking at? And do i need a 4wd to back the boat down?

[rayke1938]

Normal car ok for launching. Rent for 9 days is $1360 for 6 adults plus $10 per day for extras so if 9 people stay for full period total will be $1630 or $181 each or $20 per day. If only 6 people cost is $226 or $25 per day.Children are not counted they are free.

Merry

Xmas

Ray

[Ash]

Sweet ray, thats cheaper then i thought! When do you need monies by?

[rayke1938]

I have only paod deposit at this stage and the reciept doesnt stipulate when they want ballance. i will contact them closer to the date.

With lures halco crazy deeps, and hyper vipers are always reliable standbys.

Slick rigs in soft plastics have also been going well.Have a look at some of the posts for more recommendations and keep a few bucks to spend at Foxies to get whatever they say is hot at the time.

Cheers

R ay

[Brian D]

Gezz Ray that's a bargin. Thanks mate.

What you say about Foxies is so true. Great local tackle store, I will not be buying anything until I get there. For the new to Barra fishing bloke diving floaters are a pretty good bet. X Rap 120 floater is great.

Why the floaters - so you can back off when you hit a snag. The fish are in the timbers when the basin shuts down. [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/PA290117_AFO.jpg
