not sure if it helps, but there is the feature on this site, to create an event in the calendar, which has been done, but then you can also create that event for people to sign up for it. You can sign up for it in your User Menu - Sign-up to Attend Events.

John: Thanks mate, I have since signed up. .

Brian: Bring your lightest rod with your lightest reel and 6-8lb mono or fluorocarbon line/leader. The only bad thing is that fluorocarbon sinks so your pellets probably won't float for as long as it would with mono line. Though it's more difficult for the line to be seen by the fish. Also it pays to take a couple of rods so you can flick a lure while you've got one or two bait rods out. I like to have at least 1 livie rod out with 1 pellet rod and then flick a lure around so you've got everything covered. Use small suspending minnows only. Not like the big Barra lures you'd usually use. They shy to big lures. 6-8cm suspending lures work best with long 10sec+ pauses between jerks.

As for times of arrival etc. I'm not 100% sure as yet. The email Tim should be receiving has all that info in it for what times to arrive and leave etc. Though usually they don't mind if you come a bit early. But they arn't open before 9am.

James: Yeah mate I put you down. let us know later on can or can't.

THanks Troy

Did you know that if you rub a little vasoline on your flurocarbon it floats?

Maybe I should rig up that little baitcaster I won at the BRC. Would that do if I put 4lb fireline and 6lb fluro on it?

Maybe I sould collect some Logan river prawns Friday night and transport them live Sat. I should be able to keep em alive till Sunday Morning.

Are you guys right for a lift?

[James W]

more than likley i will only be able to to one day....so i might aim for the sunday...hmmm dunno..decisions decisions:unsure:

if i go satday..i wonder if my car will brake down?

[blue_mako]

Brian: Yeah, but if you put vasoline on it it becomes more visible. Which baitcaster did you win? 4lb Fireline with 6lb fluoro leader should be perfect. Though casting smaller lures may be more difficult and your casting distance is limited. It would probably suit a weighted live bait. Your idea about the Prawns is great. The best live bait is Prawns at the park. Though they are hardly abundant in the Maroochy River and are hard to get a hold of. But when you do get some they are gone within minutes. Herring are 2nd to Prawns, then Mullet. With live baits you can catch just about anything. It's only really Barra, Mullet and the occasional Bream that take pellets. I think we are all fine for a lift. If some of the younger guys are stuck for a lift I still have 3 seats in my car.

James: Of course your car will break down :whistle: . Why not invite your missus along? .

I think it was a Ultra Angler 3 bait caster on a graphite rod. Anyway I'll spool it up, buy some lures, get some live prawns and smash the barra.

[Gerty_92]

hey tim can u give me a lift there?

[Angus]

Ill look into it guys.

Sounds fun.

If i can get clearance, well needless to say ill be there

Angus

[rayke1938]

Sorry i will have to give it a miss as it is the weekend before I go to Glenlyon.

What a bummer it will be a blast.

Ray:(

[Feral]

Ken is interested, but if you dont have a price by tomorrow night, he wont be able to confirm until a couple of days before the event, he is going up north for christmas.

other mate Bill is interested, but also needs to know how much.

[Tim a]

Yeh Cam.

I'll get some brissie river prawns. Hopefully a few extra others may use them aswell. I'm hoping for atleast 20-30 prawns.

This trip is looking the goods!

Tim

[James W]

yer ,,,im gunna need a price for this launch into barra heaven...mission control must have idea its gunna cost her:P

[Gerty_92]

thanks man sounds sweet...so u got any prices yet?

also tim whats the deal with this place...we can use lures and all right?? and this is saltwater barra right?

Post edited by: Gerty_92, at: 2006/12/18 20:35

[blue_mako]

Gerty: Yeah you can use lures. It's a saltwater impoundment and arn't very speedy. Probably just as energetic as a freshwater impoundment Barra. (Not very ). Tim still has to recieve the email to confirm costs.

Andrew: I'm a bit confused as to what your doing? :S . Are you waiting for prices? :S .

Ray: That's no excuse .

[blue_mako]

Tim: Have you got prices etc. yet? If not have your given him a call back?

Troy

[ando_04]

how are you guys going to get the money from the people that are going. They will have to pay before going, Becouse you guys will be out of pocket if people do a no show

[lollybolls]

Does it work out a fair bit cheaper to do a group booking? We're a definate for Saturday, but just for the day, so we don't need any of the camping facilities etc. Whatever's easiest is OK with me.

[Tim a]

Sorry about the long delay but I have prices

Adults 75$, kids UNDER 16 $45. If we get more than 20 people we get $8 off normal prices. If we get more than 30 people we get $10 off. Ok whose going? so obviously we need asmany people as possible!

thanks

Tim

[Feral]

Timbo,

will have to give it a miss, $120 for one nights fishing for Alex and myself - I cant justify that in my fishing budget, thats 5 or 6 trips to Baroon with the kids.

[Gerty_92]

hmmm ye i should be in...

but im a bit confused when u say its sat and sun do we like camp there or something??

[jeff f]

i'm still up for it

frothing at the mouth

been tooooooo long

since i caught a barra

[lollybolls]

Timbo, it'll just cost $35 for myself for 6 hours, and $18 for my son, so we'll just go up on the Saturday, and pay on the day. (Sorry I can't contribute to the camping option.) They emailed me with a whole list of prices & info if anyone else wants them. Any barra under 55 cm can be kept for $18 a kilo. You can take your own bait, so I'll try and get some yabbies. Look forward to seeing some of you there.

[Angus]

Not right. I wont be there.

Cant validate the two days or the money either.

Not this soon after Christmas anyway!

Sorry.

But good luck!

Angus

[Tim a]

All right not quite the turn out expected but it should still be a good night. I need to know exact numbers by thursday so they can get the required food etc.

[Brian D]

I might be pulling out :ohmy: as I may have just bought me a new boat hull and my fresh water craft project will be starting.

Sorry but I am sure you can understand why. :S

[jeff f]

$18 a kg thats a bit rich. i think they can keep thier fish i'll just rent them for a little while:P :silly:

[Feral]

Since they only let you keep undersize ones, getting home you would not want to run into fisheries!

[Brian D]

Sorry about pull out but I will not be there.:ohmy:

I will working on my new project boat that I pick up on Thursday.

But once I get it up and running it will give us another boat for fresh water - then someone can use my craft while I jump ship into the silver bullet and travel in luxury:silly:

[jeff f]

so whats going on? do we have a final price yet? if so who's collecting the money ? are we still going or is it called off or what? talk about leaving it to the last minute.

doet the term fiasco mean anything?

[Tim a]

Yupee it is stilll on! There are going to others there that are not apart of our group.

The prices are still the same ($75 and $45 kids under 16).

Sorry about leaving it to last minute jeff but I had to get deffenate numbers to see if we could still do it. Btw jeff could I trouble you for your last name please? I have to give everyones names to the park.

Thanks
