Wivenhoe 2morro

[Bommie]

going to do an early morning session out at wivenhoe in the morning, sunrise start from billies bay area, throwing spinnerbaits and hardbodies, if anyone is out there or keen for a fish, look for two green yaks and a big old white canoe,

[Brian D]

Hey Matt,

Aaron, Dazza and myself will be out there tomorrow. We'll be in the cannon ball with a yak attached. We wont be there until about 7am or so but we'll keep an eye out for you. Good luck.

[Bommie]

good one,BASSSS, where are you guys launching from?

[Brian D]

I have absolutely no qlue, I am counting on Aaron to get me there and back.:S

[werewolf]

If you go to Logan's, keep your eyes peeled for a westerly. Holey crap there are nasty when you are a long way from home...:blush:

[bootyinblue]

Just got back from Billies Bay where we were sailing today and the surface activity there seems to be more and more each fortnight I am there.

There were some fishos there this morning and reported good size bass caught.

So good luck with it and I wanna see the evidence!

[Dazzamcgee]

Can't wait till tomorrow!!!

[Brian D]

Dazza should we make it 4.30? There is a strong wind warning and we will need to get in by about lunch time.

[Bommie]

Brian where we have been getting bass you could cast from the bank, its the river channel 25m deep, only a 1min paddle from were we launch

yeah mate 4.30 sounds sweet!!

How does wivenhoe handle the wind?? Will there still be areas to fish if it picks up early?

[werewolf]

Unless you are going to an area where you have a key, I think you've find the gates and closed until 6:30?

[Bommie]

have a key, so nice, early start

[Aaron H]

We have to launch at Logans Inlet guys dont have a sailing membership yet

what makes the sailing spot better than anywhere else on the dam?

[Aaron H]

From what I have heard its right at the bass points, tommorrow is first time fishing the lake so we will find out then

[werewolf]

I take it you've got a sounder Aaron? If so then you stand a much better chance than me! We still managed one bass from Logan's flying blind without a sounder.

[Aaron H]

Yeah mate, sounder will help us tommorow hopefully its not all schools of catfish:laugh:

[Rocket75]

good luck fellas, hope you get some bigguns!

well things did not turn out as planned, got a call to say that I had some free tickets to the lions v demons at 1pm, so had to cut the fishing trip short. Only managed to hook 1 big bass in the short time I was fishing, but I forgot the net and when I went to do the lift my leader let go and of swam the bass with my purple boomerang:angry: ,

the worst thing was the leader didn't snap, but came undone:blush:

the fog on the water was awesome [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/IMG_2738_AFO.jpg

I hope you're a Lions supporter:P

Great fog by the way:)

[Bommie]

of courseB) , but my son goes for the demons & lions:unsure:

[bootyinblue]

Bommie, from where you launch do you fish just across on the other side of the little bay there up against the wall where all the timber is?

If you go across where the reeds are on the left where you launched and the down the far side of the left hand bank there were stacks of fish surfacing around there.

And anyone, if you see catamarans on the water look for sail nunber 1012, cause its me and I am normally out of control so steer clear!!

[werewolf]

Looks like Big W is the flavour of the month for the sweetwater boys. So when and where is the AFO trip to Big W?
