queensland Yakking: Borumba Dam - Fri 21 & Sat 22 March.

[Terry H]

Stop for a moment. You have every right to be thinking: "Jesus christ, is he planning another kayak fishing trip? Is this guy mad?"

Well yes. :laugh:

Lee and I threw around the idea of hitting up Borumba Dam (We want to catch some togas! :laugh:)

So, with that in mind I'm going to try and follow this general plan:

Head up early Friday morning, Fish an early morning session, then fish a late arvo session, then fish all Saturday. I will be leaving Early Sunday morning and doing the offshore adventure on the way back home.

Now. Camping. I haven't checked with any place up there, I don't even know if there are any available campsites or anything. But I'm going, even if I have to sleep in the car :laugh:

I've gone completely mad but it's Easter holidays and I want fish.

Anyone is welcome to come along.

[pcsolutionman]

yeh ill be there, you talked me into it:blush: lol :blush: surely your going to camp there 2 nights and just head the few minutes to noosa from borumba rather than head all the way back to brissie?????

Lee

[Terry H]

Done.

[Biggles]

G'day Terry, I just got back. I think your Easter trip sounds cool and If I weren't going to Coffs I come with ya, not sleeping in your car but:woohoo: . I'll give you a ring tomorrow morning to discuss Saturday.

See ya

Al

[Terry H]

No worries Al

There is a pretty big camp site at Borumba. About a 3-5min drive to the dam from memory. You have to pay a small fee to camp there though.

[Brian D]

Terry lucky I read this post before I answered the Stanley 15th post because I was going to suggest something similar. My problem is I am 20 so years older then you guys and noone my own age does stupid things like that anymore, well except me, so I might just flick Maroon and head north with you if you don't mind an old fat fart dragging the chain.

I'll sleep in the boat.

[Feral]

Dont forget Borumba is at 100% now, so water is right up to the fence along the parking lot. So not as much parking as usual.

[Terry H]

Brian.

Boat??? Prime time to use that profish mate:P

[Terry H]

Bump. I'll be aiming to get to Borumba by say... 5am Friday morning.

Does anyone know borumba well? Where would be the spot to park and launch etc? I'll take a better look tonight when I get home, then provide a lot more detail on where.

[Biggles]

Looks like I might be up for this one as well (Coffs on hold), that will mean there are 2 old farts about. Will let you know soon.

Regards

Al

[Terry H]

Everyones welcome to come:)

Sorry guys, I can't help it:

Team "Old Farts" (don't hate me, it's self proclaimed!!!!!!!!!!)

vs

Team "Young Guns" ??

beats me, I always like to see some sort of "competition" happening on these trips:)

[Feral]

Terry, only one launch spot, ramp at the wall, parking is along side ramp on the right, or top parking lot near toilets. Quite steep, but short road between. I like to park up the top.

Make sure you have a dry bag or similar for your valuables etc, if your going to be launching / retrieving during day light hours. The ski lice turn the main basin into a washing machine.

When you go up there, could you take a few shots of the dam while it is at 100%? I would really like to see how it looks now:)

Thanks, and good luck

[pcsolutionman]

Just a quick reminder to all that are coming that a Stocked Impoundment Permit is needed.

Al how about we all meet at a location then head up from there?

Lee

[Feral]

DPI were there booking people without their SIP's last time I was there. Some very unhappy fisho's!

[pcsolutionman]

rules are rules though and most of the money goes back into restocking so its all good. just thought it was worth a reminder

Lee

[Terry H]

I'll be getting there a bit late, I need sleep because I got none today, and sleep to help me recover (sick)

[pcsolutionman]

how late is late terry? and where will we meet? once u get there?

Lee

[Biggles]

Won't know until tomorrow Lee, sorry to be evasive but we are supporting a police operation and I'm just a bit uncertain.

Regards

Al

[pcsolutionman]

Lee

[pcsolutionman]

ok guys im going to pull out of heading up to barumba early in the morning im really feeling ill, if I feel ok in the morning Ill give you guys a ring to meet up. Al can you PM me your mobile number

Lee

[Terry H]

I'll start to pack up and head out when I wake up in the morning, so probably midday leave at the latest. Should be good for the arvo and night session - full moon bassin:P

Then the early morn session on sat, all day might try trolling for some bass or yellas during the day then an arvo session for toga then a good sleep before I head down to noosa.

[Biggles]

Ok, an afternoon session sounds good. Lee give me a ring tomorrow morning and we'll arange to meet Terry about lunch or just after.

Regards

Al
