queensland Glenlyon Dam vacancy 26/9 till 28/9

[rayke1938]

feral has booked a cabin at Glen Lyon from 26/9 till 3/10 but wont be arriving till Sunday or monday. I will be there from Friday onwards to do a prefish and set shrimp traps etc.So if anyone wants to come up for the weekend there are 3 bunk beds available or one double and 2 bunks.

We were there there same time last year and did ok with the yellas and Alex scored a cod.

If 3 people come will work out at aprox $15 per day.

Cheers

Ray

[rayke1938]

There are only vacancies over the weekend as Feral is bringing his Kids rest of time. You are welcome then. I will have my 4.6 stacer up there so if you wish to tent it the rest of time there is decky spot avail rest of week.

Just like those barra did :dry: :unsure: :unsure:

:laugh:

I doubt I'll be towed around to any great deal, but I'll be fishign BIG lures with heavy line. maybe 20lbs mainline, 80lbs leader... Just one idea,

and a r2s baby crank on 4lbs... because you never know!:laugh: :laugh:

[kriso]

go the baby crank! lol my fav hb for sure as its the only one i have consistantly caught fish on lol. didnt the barra tow ya much terry? the way that little trev pulled us i thought a barra would go allright?

[Terry H]

did the trev pull me? :S Dont really remember that If it did, it was no more than 5-10 metres lol, which could be put down to drifting with the wind:P

The barra just stopped us from drifting with the wind I think Kriso:P Typical blowing its arse off awoonga, the kayak trips get a bit WET - yes, gets pretty choppy up there with a 20knot wind.

[kriso]

yeah cause we were about 20-30 meters away when we both hooked up and ended with in 10 meters of each other at one stage. yeah 20knts wouldnt be fun at all

[Terry H]

we weren't 20-30m away.. maybe 15-20

[kriso]

you reckon? i thought it was more than that

[Brian D]

This could be good for me, I'll see if I can clear my schedule and crab a couple of days.

Woops - wedding aniversary 1st Oct. I better plan this carefully.:S

[ellicat]

If you hook a good cod Terry it'll be likely that you will pull yourself

towards it than the other way

[Feral]

Ferg is going, he booked his time off yesterday.

[mangler]

Good luck to everyone going to Glenlyon at end of September! Hope to see some nice cod & yella's landed! Wish I could make it out there, matter of fact I'll only be half an hr away from Glenlyon that weekend, but at a wedding instead... Maybe can convince the groom that a wedding morning fish would be good!

Cheers,

Matt

[Feral]

how weak is that Mangler? Going to a wedding when there is a fishing trip on!

Although I suppose seeing some other poor b@stard get the ring through their nose is kinda funny.....

Haha, it is kinda funny, that poor b#stard is my brother...

I am pretty keen on this. I'll have a look at my schedule when I get back to work tomorrow but it should be OK.

So who's going and what boats? Feral are you taking the bullet and Alex's boat? Ray it sounds like you got a new tinny? Is Graham going (I still have an empty bottle to give him back).

I'm thinking to take the cruise craft and a yak but only if needed. No point having more boats then people! I am also thinking of pitching a tent to cover a couple of extra nights, hoping you guys will let me hang out and use your facilities so I don't have to pack the kitchen.

If I get there Friday and Feral doesn't arrive till Sunday that gives me 2 days to get the tent up, after the Lenthals effort I'll need every minute of that. And NO I will not put the tent up before I go fishing.

For those who don't know or remember, last time I went with these guys to Lenthals I went fishing before putting up the tent, then it rained for 3 days and I had to sleep in the car. When I finally got around to erecting the tent I had a grand audience with tinnies in hand and deck chairs clapping and laughing. (yeah yeah ha ha) All Graham could say was "that'll teach you for not setting up before fishing". Well news flash Graham - it didn't and what sort of die hard fisho bothers about sleeping arrangments when there is fishing to be done!

[Feral]

Still thinking about whether I am taking my Boat Brian,

Ray will have his boat there already, and no deckies, so I might leave mine at home. Do him good to be in a boat for 5 days with the boys! If I do take my boat, I probably wont take Alex's boat, He would only use it for half the first day then want me to tow it everywhere!

Be no probs using the facilities Brian.

I've already booked an extra fridge for the week - Ray wanted a freezer, but they were all booked out!. It wont have anything in it but Yella's in the freezer.

[username_taken]

I'm in for this, not sure exactly which days I can be there for, but at least a couple. I'll bring a tent so if the cabin is full I'll pitch up.

[Feral]

Sounds like its building!

Ray is not back until the monday before we go (he is in New Zealand) so those going for the weekend will have to wait until then to set up meeting etc etc.

There should be no probs with anyone pitching a tent, their camping area is about 60 acres, powered sites not all that far from the cabins. (A bit further unpowered)

boys will be no problem but may be problem for anyone who comes near i have just brought an illegal in aust hi powered slingshot and dismantled it to bring back . gun laws lax over here copper was just killed with an gas operated air rifle the other day. you do not need a license to buy them here.

[maxi]

ahhh still a boy at heart .... hahahalol

dont troll over rays line lol

[Brian D]

Can't come - I'm out. They rescheduled a board meeting to Mon 29/9 and the Finance meeting to Wed 24/9. I know it's each side of things but I realy don't feel like running around like a blue ass fly and going unprepared.

Sorry for another false start.

[username_taken]

Looks like I might not be able to make it either, got a few things cropped up for that weekend.

[Feral]

Thats all right Brian, I know where to send the cod photo's

[rayke1938]

I will be leaving Redland bay around 7 ish on friday morning and aim to be at glen lyon around 1pm. Will give me time to unpack and deploy some shrimp traps and maybe a prefish.

Anyone else besides Tom B and ferg coming up for the weekend?

Cheers

Ray

[Terry H]

Good luck guys, I might have to head down sometime after you guys, depending on how you go of course

[Tom B]

ill probly rock up around 2 or 3, depending how long i spend in the tackle shops that morning

[ellicat]

Good luck fellas. The wants and the cans just haven't been matching up this year. Hope a nice cod likes your lures enough;)
