queensland Baroon Pocket 6/4/08

Despite the lack of success in recent reports, Kath and I are planning to hit Baroon tomorrow afternoon. We are hoping to escape the coastal winds:angry: and catch our first bass on poppers.

We stocked up today on some new lures from Fishhead. One of them is a jointed crank bait by River2Sea called V-Crank 60. Has anyone used one of these? Looks like it will have a good action... and it's purple :woohoo:

Does anyone know what times the gate at the Maleny boat ramp open/shut? We're thinking about staying for dusk and don't want to get locked in

Maybe will have to use Montville ramp.

Wish us luck!!! Come and say hi if you're in the area. We'll be in the teeny tiny tinnie with the blue beach umbrella (hopefully for protection from the sun, not rain:unsure: )

They are open 7-6 or something like that

[Shrimpo]

And no combustion engines only electrics and no lead sinkers if your gonna use bait.

[Rocket75]

Thanks guys, the batteries are charging for the electric atm and it will be all lures for us tommorrow.

Was looking on the Net for the close times of the Maleny ramp gate but there was nothing that I could see!!!!

Anyone know for sure?????

[basskid]

gates open 5.30 but they curently put a sticjer saying 6.30 so meh just go at 6.30 get out of there at before 7.30 at night or it will be an overnight stay ahahahha

[Shrimpo]

And also i would get their early as possible because max of 10 boats allowed on the dam at one time, could be a few hours wait for some1 to come off.

Shrimpo: Yeha thats right. Its good when we have a AFO day up there as its usually about 5 boats and a LOT of yaks. Makes for a BBQ after

Rocket: Mate that lure looks the goods for Baroon. Id be trying the SW flats if I were you. But not to close to the bank as the weed is horrible by all accounts.

As far as the gates go, depsite advertised times, we have been there a couple of times and they have been opened or closed against the displayed advice. I would personally scarifice the extra 5-10minutes and head to the Montville Ramp. By the times you go through Maleny and around that bloody windy road its really about 10 minutes less sleep

Good luck mate.

Hope your report can break my concern over Baroon!

You'll be right Rocket - never seen it reach the limit.

[Dinodadog]

Rocket on thurs the wind was blowing and the water was very dirty. As the wind picks up in the arvo I would have a good look at the forcast first. That lure looks a cert for the weed edges, good luck. Good rule when using elec motors is to have the wind with you on the way home.

[Bommie]

good luck to the Rockets:)

[James W]

im sure mrs rocket will be givin him a lesson or two in how to bass baroon:P

good lucks guys

[bretto]

[Feral]

[Terry H]
