queensland Barumba Monday 9th Toga time

[pcsolutionman]

Terry and I are heading up to barumba this coming monday for another crack at some Bass, yellas and especially Toga. We are planning to Launch around 5:30am to get to the back part of the dam by sun up. We are going to be doing an all dayer but if you only want to come for the morning session or the arvo thats cool.

hope to see a few more people out there with us this time

I wont be trying for bass mate, just toga;)

[bigtez]

Great minds think alike STU. That is exactly what I was going to type. Are you fishing as a Boater or NB?

Terry

[STU]

NB mate

[bretto]

Could be keen after sitting at home crook all last weekend not fishing:( and not getting out to see you guys for a fish at NPD. How long would it take me to drive out there from the goldcoast?

[Plastic Man]

mate its about a hour and half from brisbane so maybe two and a half hours

[Feral]

Should be a quick trip if you use the gateway. Get off at Dohles rocks and head back into Petrie, or get off at Bracken Ridge (before you merge with the Bruce Hwy) and go through Strathpine.

[brisbane_boy]

i wish i could come but cant:(

Oh well good luck hope to see a report of a massive toga caught but by who??

ill let u guys decide:P

Are you sure you have the right dam feral? Borumba is near Imbil last time I checked:laugh:

[bretto]

Thanks guys

He was talking NPD in his post, I assumed he meant NPD.

[Rocket75]

mmmm Borumba....mmmm toga....Might have to clear my schedule!

I don't have a yak...can I join you with my leccy powered tinny.

Never been there before, is it far from the ramp to where you guys are going to attack?

Rocket

[Feral]

Probably a bit bigger than baroon, about 20-30 minutes by leccy down to the start of the Timber I'd reckon.

Dont go there over the 20&21st. ARC will be in Imbil. Unless you want to see some very fast "2 diff farters" Rocket. Might make you want to keep yours though!

Might be worth considering as a AFO overnighter at some stage, camping below the Dam wall.

[Rocket75]

sounds good...the camping, not the rally!

I spent a bit of time sideways as a young fella :ohmy: , but I'm too old for those schenanigans now:lol: !

I'm keen to try as many 'local' waters as possible and Borumba is definitely on the list.

Rocket

[pcsolutionman]

Rocket mate where we usually fish is about 5.5-6ks from the ramp so maybe a little far for the leccy??? the start of the decent timber is 4klms from the ramp. do you have an outboard for the tiny? its not electric only

Lee

[pcsolutionman]

Bretto if you can get to my place at GLasshouse mts which is the most southern part of the sunny coast we can squeeze you in with us the yak will go on the roof no worries. but we are doing an all dayer

Yeah he just said he wishes he got to go fishing at NPD with us, and was asking how long it takes to get to borumba :laugh:

Bretto: As lee said, I'm sure we could chuck ya yak on the commo, doesn't look pretty but it does the job :laugh: Probably take you almost 2 hours to get from your place to lees assuming you stick to the limit. For those who go limit + GST and a touch extra, it's about 45 minutes from CBD to Lee's.

Lee: fix ya dam speakers please :laugh:

Rocket: Bring an outboard to get up the back end of the dam, otherwise we'll leave ya behind:P It's a good 6-7km paddle up to the back sticks, we'll probably stop off a bit closer in the morning, then head up to the back stuff for the arvo. Fishing doesn't even have to stop after sun down, we've had a few swipes and hits on jitterbugs and their copies after dark, you just have to miss the green branches that you can't see in the dark :laugh:

Biggles: um dunno what to say mate. the back country is littered with timber so watch out for that...

[Rocket75]

Yeh guys, I have a 4hp 4 stroke as well.

I've never actually had both motors and batteries in the boat at the same time...not sure if the little beast can handle it!

Might be able to jiggle the set up a bit and make it more workable.

Either way I'm keen.

What effect will all the rain have had? Is it overflowing up there?

Rocket

[Terry H]

Rocket the dam was 99% before the rain. And is still at 99% as of yesterday. I believe they missed the rain we had yesterday.

Sounds good mate. What time would I need to be at your place so we can load up and head off?

[Terry H]

Bretto, 4:45 I think was the time I'm suppose to be at lees.

Edit: I shotty front seat :whistle:

[STU]

Terry I thought you would be on lee's lap:P :laugh:

[Terry H]

What's with you guys?

Is there any must haves in the lure department for the trip?

[Terry H]

Surface lures. Buzz baits, jitterbugs.

Spinnerbaits.

[pcsolutionman]

We have found that the Jitterbugs and the Buzz baits have done the trick on previous trips. I have a heap of buzz baits so if you have none dont sweat

Lee

[Terry H]

Although you have the fizzers there bretto, they could be worth a shot.

[bretto]

Cheers Guys

[Biggles]

Monday, bring it on :woohoo:
