The list sure is getting bigger, still 3 and a half days to go too. If anyone needs a lift, or has gear that needs a lift, I'm heading out Friday arvo from Kenmore.

Cheers,

Matt

[Angus]

Ray: Jackets will be ready in time. As will the beenies. Ill bring everything along.

Cheers.

Angus

[Angus]

On a side note guys, in the interest of the newbies to fishing, if anyone has a spare brag mat they could lend for the duration of the comp please bring it along.

All entries will require a photo of the fish being held by the angler, as well as on a clear measure. Very much the same as FOTM entries.

Hence brag mats and cameras are in the list of "things to bring".

Cheers.

I'm Sure Ray will have a ruler / brag mat on the boat so I can bring a spare one if any one wants it, just let me know.

[Angus]

Poly: There are a few people that wont get a chance to read this, so any spares would be most appreciated. Thanks mate. Its going to be good!

Angus

[benno573]

i reckon between jeff f and i we will probably have two... should have a spare to donate to a worthy cause for the weekend...

and angus, i like the sound of the comp. good to get a couple of different species involved.

[kriso]

i have 2 more days to fight off a head cold, i dont care if i have to paddle my coffin im coming!

[Angus]

Good luck Kriso!

Youll kill it im sure. Secret recipe for head cold = Scotch.

Angus

[kriso]

thats where i have been going wrong, been using rum and sambucca black

[benno573]

OP rum is good kriso... germs can't live in alcohol, the more the merrier!!! :laugh: :woohoo: :silly:

[username_taken]

I'll bring a spare brag mat. I won't be coming until saturday morning.

[rayke1938]

I have just sent an email to Camp Lakefire asking them if is ok to launch from the campsite on Friday for those of us who are going to do a prefish.

Cheers

Ray

[Angus]

Ok everyone. Nearly forgot this. Please print out and fill in one of these forms and bring it to the camp. Its important for insurance reasons.

/>http://www.sportstuition.com.au/docs/registration_weekends.pdf

Also can everyone PM me and let me know if they do or do not have a fishing permit appicable for this dam. You can only order them 1 by 1 online which is a pain the ass so I dont want to spend longer doing it than need be!

Cheers.

Angus

[polyphonic]

Woot

just been down the back shed unpacking all my fishing gear after moving house a few weeks ago.

O.k. so Daiwa Kastor 2500 on the Ugly Stick, that will be the bait rod;)

Daiwa Advantage on the Penn Pin Point Tournament, That will be super deep lures and skull drag 'em up.:silly:

And my new Stradic on Raider Bream Finess for all my surface and shallow divers and the combo I will use the most.

Can you tell I'm excited,

Angus I have a dam permit already.

3 more sleeps:silly:

Pretty sure sweetwater fishing says it's just a normal sip Jeff.

Now just plugged in the details to get from Parkinson to the dam.

Whereis.com.au tells me to head down the Cunningham to Yamanto and turn off - 1hr 24

Google maps tells me to head down the Mount Lindsay Highway and through Beaudesert. 1hr 29

Any ideas. Not worried about the fastest more the scenary and road condition.

[kriso]
