2008 First Annual AFO Kayak Camp/Comp @ Hinze Dam.

[Terry H]

Was it mentioned that the prize is a profish? or just a viking kayak

[Angus]

Its a pro fish.

There is also a very nice fly set up, a live fibre rod and a lot of strike king lures on offer.

Angus

[Terry H]

Cool.

Angus, may have missed my earlier post. Is there any Viking Predators going down for people to use?

[Angus]

No predators i dont think.

Only profish's and a tempo.

Angus

[Terry H]

LOL Shortie... catch me first

[jeff f]

make that 2 fatmen

we gotta slow him down to trolling speed somehow

[kriso]

we should hide his mirage drive!!! hahaha

[Terry H]

haha most of mine would be trolling speed..

[shortie]

We can test out how good his mirage drive is. Tie it my front and rear locked patrol.

After that we can test out how good kriso's pajero is. My money is on the yak. lol

[STU]

When we take off terry I dont think your fast enough to get away from a jackall cast on my Alphas :woohoo: :laugh:

[Terry H]

Hows your aim STU? I can turn pretty sharply..

:woohoo:

Might hurt if you get it right though :sick:

[STU]

mate my aim is spot on but I will save that for the bass haha

I finalised my lures at the beginning of the week, but for some reason it hasn't atopped me from going over them again each day for the past couple of days and no doubt again today. I'm yet to make any changes to whats in there, gives me a chance to dream up different scenario's for different lures what to work with 1st where to go to 1st what to use when I get there so I make sure I have my differents rods loaded with the appropriate lures:blush: :laugh:

Crazy, I don't even think this hard when I am at work:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Must admitt do love it more than workB)

Remember you cannot fake legendary toughness.

The First rule about Fighclub is Dont talk about Fightclub.

hahaha, i'm sure shortie and i will both not drool, however, a spew is possible... :X i'll stick with my real 4wd, that actually gets dirty, has scratches on it and loves it! as opposed to your pampered little pajero... that is yet to see actual offroad action. :whistle:

[Alex]

Hi every body,

Like others, looking forward to this weekend, despite the weather forcast.

But having never fished this dam before, and esecially not that far up into the dam arm, I'd just like a little info from those who have fished it please.

In the arm, how deep is the water likly to be at 100% full?

With the cold front approaching from the west on saturday, how is this going to affect the barometer and how will that affect the fish bite?

Will the possiblity of rain in them thar hills influence the fish to move up into the arms or more toward the dam wall trying to get downstream to breed?

Is there much in the way of lily pads, and\or weed or is it bank side structure?

there has been talk about big schools of bass, what are they schooling up over?

Thanks guys, see you this weekend.

Cheers

Alex

Alex:

Its deep in placed as its essentially flooded valleys. You can still troll some deep diving lures through the middle and not hit the bottom.

Tempreture wise, well I dont have heaps to go by, but last winter camp we cleaned up. Despite whatever is happening in the main basin, there always seems to Bass, Silver and the occasional Yella caught up in the arms. I still havent seen a yella caught on a lure in Hnze but ill be trying very very hard to break that rule this weekend.

Also in regards to wind, we will be largely protected from it where we will be fishing which will be nice.

In that case, I reckon my crappy corolla has seen more offroad action :laugh:

[Terry H]

has anyone seen the weather forecast? pretty good for saturday (WIND WISE) now less tahn 15 knots

[Beefa]

Just read a thread on akff on hinze fished yeasterday only one landed but they reckon the water quality testers told'em that the deep water was not well oxygenated and the shallows would be the best bet for a fish.

Heath

[benno573]

great advice thanks heath!

and terry, my old falcon saw a lot more off road action than kriso's pajero, likewise your corolla probably has too! when i was in the kimberley there was all these signs saying "4WD only". never figured out what they meant... :laugh: :laugh:
