brissie river weekend

[chief]

River stills needs a lot of time to clean up but its slowly getting better.Still not fishing at its best but it was the weekend for the Bisbane river classic run by BFO.The boys put a great comp this year and very well organised. A few ausfishers had nominated and fished a few seshs.Not a lot of threadie action with 1 great fish at 1.2 meters winning. Only saw a couple of others under the 90 cm mark.WE had a shot for them on friday night but we found it very quiet except for something that smacked me hard and i may have had a weak spot in my braid because on impact it broke the 10 kg braid .Not knot failure or to much drag:-/ anyway we chased mainly bream and in a couple of slow sessions ended up with around 20 plus bream with 2x 32 ,1x 37 and a lot around 26,27 and a few smaller. Garrett got 1 st prize bream and I got 2nd . Another ausfisher NeMo 84 took out 2nd prize to the 1.2 threadie with a 76 cm (I think) Jewwie again taken landbased but unfortunately after that Carlos took a spill on some rocks and cut his hand pretty deep and had to head to hospital where he still is awaiting an opperation to repair tendon damage. The competion had a boundary that didn't allow you to fish the front walls but i would have loved to have a shot out there in some cleaner water. Also just be carefull traveling around the river still as those big tides have pulled a lot of debri off the banks and caused a few mine feilds around the traps,Anyway things can only get better as time goes on.Cheers;D

Hey Novice 23.... Yeh likewise champ, you pulled a second to mate but i didn't post it because i wasn't sure what it was for.Someone was talking to me when i saw you go up to collect sorry mate. Mate,you should have recieved a trophy for the most klms traveled on the river ;D

Tim D... G/day mate,walked away with G Loomis rod, another 8-10 kg extended butt baitcaster rod and 1/2 day charter on Hinze Dam with a guide etc. Great little comp with the main prize being one of these flash harry fishing Kayak supplied by Viking. I think that was its 3rd year but don't quote me on that.

Well done on the Loomis mate!! Lee makes bloody brilliant rods im sure you wont be disapointed!!

[Malice]

Carlos....you been operated on yet. Every day Garrett says to me he hasn;t been in surgery ...Whats the go? Anyway , Congrats on your nice jewwie mate.Really sorry to hear about the hand. Get well soon so you can finish that video on the forehead smack technique ;D

[NeMo84]

yeh im all good now thanks chief, the video will have to wait cos my hand wont be fishing for awhile. Disappointed i only got to fish one session for the comp til this happened but nevertheless im happy cos i won a nice rod and a hinze dam charter too. The water as u said was really dirty and didnt help lure fishing much at all. Worked hard for that fish and my mate too got a 40cm cod. Just wish i coulda put in more time...congratulations again:)

[chief]

Heard some more bad news Carlos old mate ;D LOL ;D while you were still a bit groogy from the op ,you let slip where you have been catching all the fish ;D Shhhhh!
Thats just given me an idea. Maybe next time Webby has an surgery on the knee we should all go and visit him after the op ;D

[NeMo84]

haha chief if ur talkin about mick then go where he said, i see blokes like that coming a mile away mate, im a little sharper than ur average bear, even when im doped up on anaesthetic:) haha

[chief]

Ah mate , Thanks for the laugh champ, Your a top bloke and a funny bugger. Congrads to you on your win. Next years comp you;ll be back and the river will be back to its former glory and you'll be hitting the river in a new kayak when you win.Well worth entering hey, thanks for the heads up that it was on.Cheers
