What are you doing on the 1st day of Spring????
« on: August 24, 2011, 07:48:52 PM »
Well not long now guys & gals and finally I've managed to get a couple of days off work to coincide with the beginning of spring, Yippee!!!  I'm not sure where I'm going yet, maybe the upper reaches of the Brissie, maybe the Tweed, fingers crossed for fine hot weather though!  :thumbsup

HAHAHAHA I was just about to post up a Bass countown myself.  I'm up the Sunshine Coast this week and after some very heavy rain at times here yesterday I drove up & had a look at the upper Stanley River around Peachester. Water was thundering down & starting to dirty up down around Woodford. Not the closed season applies to that river, but I'm definately getting itchy. Staying at Yandina tonight & took a walk down to the Maroochy River on dusk, was thinking I'd be itching to peg a lure or two about now.

Next week is going to see some good fish caught... I can feel a cough starting already.......

Where to go that is the question.....  :?)

Up the river, down the river; bank, boat or yak...

I'm thinking of shooting the gorgey section.

A good launching spot hey?  :thumb Do you have a chainsaw to clean up a couple of those logs at the bottom of the track?

There should be something down from there are the pump inlet (look for the mid stream obstruction), or up at the log jam. Have pulled yellowbelly at the small cliff/waterfall just up from there.

If you shoot down the rapids at Lowood there will be some bass through those boulders there & around the old bridge pylons a bit further down.

Wivenhoe Comp
Entry forms for wivenhoe event at http://www.sweetwaterfishing.com.au/Forum/index.php/topic,2432.0.html or you can get them from Fernvale Info Centre, or Charltons Fishing at Redbank.

Drop the form into my letterbox or call over one night (if I'm home), or drop off to Fernvale Post office, box 66. Can pay via cash, cheque or money order to me, or direct deposit or paypal.

Cheers,

fitz..

I'll be workin' for the first couple of days, then I'm hitting Wivenhoe.  I reckon the river will look like Queen Street on the first weekend.

Too much pressure, I've had to make a list.

Last count I've got 17 creeks and rivers to choose from that I know hold Bass within an hours drive from my place, and with the Bass State of Origin in the back of ones mind and with Queenslands reputation at stake, these important desicions need time and careful concideration over a few light ales or a Rum or two.

Either way, I hope the rain stays away, the creeks keep clean and long as my backside points to the ground come the 1st of September, I'll be up before the sun somewhere chasing'em. :youbeauty

Cheers Dave

PS. My fellow Queenslanders, don't rely on me on breaking any records, knowing my luck I'll get my PB Bass yak side and lose the bloody thing.
