Hi Hweebe - I’ve managed to create this private chat function just for us Southsiders (I have added any Southsider that competed last year - will add more once they sign up). 
Given that we have absolutely dominated them most years since the competition’s inception I wouldn’t worry too much about the length of the comp. I am highly confident that unless they’ve had an influx of new members that can actually fish, they’re unlikely to get anywhere near us. I do feel sorry for them, and for the sake of the comp, it would probably be better if they were a bit more competitive, but we can only beat what they put in front of us …….  @ellicat  @Old Scaley  @AUS-BNE-FISHO and others, feel free to interject, but I don’t see the length of the comp as having a say in the (inevitable) outcome.

Over to you guys . Once we agree we can put our position out publicly on the forum so the Northside clowns know our viewpoint.

Through all that waffle I did take away one good point. Very few new members these days. Need to do a member drive

I have submitted vote for extending comp - purely because the La Nina may hamper the fishing days available.  La Nina (get confused hope I am talking about the right one) is supposed to park sometime in November but BOM may not be right...

Fair point

least the issue is solved

next time teak north, sabotage during the comp not before it!

Hey team

its that time again to get this ball rolling. I’ve created a poll with some options for the dates. I’ll close the voting on the 28th so I can get the come details up before I go away on holidays. 
 

Team North forever!

Good work Chris. 

I've been wanting to get onto my first bullie in the river since last summer. The closest I got was when I had hooked up for about 5 seconds and a big head shake/jump sawed right through 80lb leader. Maybe should've considered a wire trace, which i will this summer. 

 

just go for the halco premade trace. some people will say that the snap clip will bend but its not happened to me. go for the 20inch if you can. 60-80lbs is plenty

Oh dear…don’t you love boats!

hey mate,

have done this trip myself on the yak.  we were in one of the spots closest to the i guess south eastern / bridge end and they were fine.  Just dirt sites but shady and the one we were in had a picnic table as well which was super handy given camp chairs on a kayak are difficult.  Would recommend mozzie coils as a must and plenty of 40% deet.  Try and arrive at higher tide for ease of unload as there is a bit of mud on a low tide.

take plenty of drinking water as none available.  there is a cold shower which was ok, other than cold.

just out of curiosity, did you just park your car at the donnybrook boat ramp or close to it with no issues?

Nice little spot for kayaking adventures, just hope the fish turn up for you!

fish will be a bonus lol happy to get out for a break more than anything!

thanks @benno573 

mozzie coils are a good idea. ill surround my self with them. 

Hey all,

im planning a solo camping trip from my Kayak in the coming months at Mission Point. Just wondering if anyone had advice on their favoured camp spots there? I've read that as far from the toilets as possible is a good idea

that and 5 litres of insect repellent as a must

what a trip! just out of curiosity, how much fuel did you go through?

i used to always use Navionics app on my iphone in the boat. was fantastic and i had no issues all the way over to Moreton island.

alternatively, you could always get a pocket wifi. depending on who you are with at home, the provider can sometimes throw one your way which links to your home internet deal for free. otherwise you can buy prepaid pocket wifi to just use for this. i wouldn't imagine it would use alot of data if it was just for Navionics?

bris river jacks are a very hard to catch fish, very rare. they do exist though
and yeah there is always a chance of threadies. solid flathead, keep it up

just out of curiosity, do you live north or south of the river lol always looking for new Suburbs of Origin Team North members!

fantastic report and pics. cracking day out

does sound sharky. its worth chuckink a 80lbs trace on just to increase your chances to see what it is

hey mate, looks like a small GT to me. just fyi too, for land based youve done well. especially on plastics.

the flathead ive caught at boggy creek landbased have all been small too. that area is great for flathead. if you ever get the chance, a small kayak around that area produces flathead really well

i know the ramada has a open parking lot behind the hotel with heaps of space. there is often big boats parked there. its very close to the ramp too. red circle is the hotel and the yellow highlight is the parking area

as said above. as long as permission is granted i dont see it as an issue, i doubt fisheries would either. no a whole lot different to you driving the boat while the son and law actually grabs the pots on your behalf

when you say it like that...not so crazy

regardless. would love to see Panthers get smashed

PAnthers vs cowboys GF. a game all qlders would all get behind

yep live bait is great there. lost many good fish there though, Unstoppables

is it just me, or does no one fish breakfast creek anymore? around the mouth. that place used to be a good spot for all sorts of fish. jew,salmon, cod, snapper even
