Thanks to everyone for the promises of future support. Remember the Govt supported the event per person. If we had had 100 instead of 50 it would have been $14,000.00 dollars for Toga

Well done guys, 141 tilapia.. remarkable jimmy!

Then 746 in total? Crazy stuff.

Any word on the current state of fishing/yakking at Kurwongbah? is it Bank fishing only, with no boating permitted ?

[Ash]

Well done guys! Really sorry i couldnt make it, but family obligations kept me away. Wish i couldve been there though, looks like you all did well and had a cracker day!

Well done to AFO organisers, another top job!

I'll be there next time for sure!

[benno573]

[Do$tylz]

Well done gents. Sounds like a great day, and jeez those are undersized aren't they? A little disappointed that this trip conflicted with a work conference for me so I wasn't able to make it. I couldn't pass up a trip to Frazer.

Next time though... I'm on. Maybe we could let in the nets for the next trip?? I'm sure you could get 140 odd per cast or drag.

[kevinchen19870316]

i wish i was there....BTW, is the lake open to fish now? since i may wanna do some tillie fishing in there

[ellicat]

Someone left a couple of buckets behind too (blue and green). I brought them home so let me know if you want them:)

[Terry H]

kevinchen: As far as I'm aware it's opened to landbased fishing. The only restriction at the moment is that there is no boat access at this stage.

Kev/Terry,

Yes, it's open for fishing - Mick Hanfling Park and there is that little park along Dayboro fronting the water pump.

Btw, I went up there again today during those unplanned thingies. Caught countless turtles and a little catfish. I used bigger hooks than cull day.

Benno,

I got more turtles today.

[darkhonour]

Well done guys, wish I had been there.

Angus, You said there were hundreds of baby tillies in the shallows- What's the verdict on leaving in bait traps for them and feeding them to a garbage bin en mass? Would that be legal/effective/worth the hassle?

[jeff f]

be great if the little #$%& would swim into a clear plastic bottle with some bait in it,mullet do

[kriso]

yeah would wipe out heaps that way. a supervised cast net day that anything other then tilies had to be released would be good. but i would say it would be easier to walk on water then get that approved.

So where does my 18 fish for the KG fit in? Oh it's ok I don't realy need to be named on the score board. I just wish I knew what I know now and I might have another Yak in the shed :woohoo:

[Angus]

Ill have another look at the book when I get home.

Angus

[Angus]
