queensland Somerset Dam Camping

[tugger]

Went to Somerset dam for 5 days after I got back from 1770 so I have had a big month off work and loving getting out and about again. Took the missus out there in the caravan with the kids joining us over the weekend and a few friends with their van as well. 

We got a few redclaw and did a bit of fishing but mainly just chilling around camp. We burnt about a ton of wood and cooked some mad feeds in the camp ovens. 

Already got 2 more big trips booked with the van down south so more reports of our van life to come. Here's some photos out on the lake.

Hi tugger

Great trip, and it's good you have been getting out of late. 

The redclaw would be yummy too!

Nice one Mark, judging by the baitboard/bar, it was very relaxing .....

Redclaw was yummie we always take a few tins of coconut cream and minced garlic and sweet chilli to marinate the tails in the longer the better for marinating to.

Yes the bar was open on SS Tugger my missus has a boat license so she was captain. You have to take the correct bait and refreshments

Mmmm, that sounds delicious. 

I might have to try and catch some redclaw when we go to one of the dams!

So I twist and take the heads off then split the tail down the middle with some heavy duty scissors. When we mix up the marinate and add the split tails I then pop it in the fridge or esky for the day or overnight.

Great tips, tugger. You're a legend!  This dam looks like a good option for a camping trip for sure
