BEN HUR:MONDY MUSTER 1&2) & Part 3 Sept 10-12th 2010

I reckon I can talk him into it Steve, and maybe little Barb, the Bros of Darkness and possibly FrankOO and his sunburnt frog (green Stacer or whatever it is....you need sunnies looking at it)

Two top little dams not 30kms apart
You can camp at Kinchant but not Teemburra ....... but there are dongers at the pinnacle pub (5ks from Teemburra)

Teemburra is a cool looking place ....... mostly smaller fish but when you find em .... you can really smack em

Kinchant is a open basin with a lot of weed beds & lane ways (clear water) - Its known for its topwater fishing - there are some really big fish in there too

Both dams have good sooties too

Chris

Yes I was looking at the Pinnical Pub it might be a good place to camp for a coupla days.

The Kinchant looks like a big open water hole. I gather the camping facilities there are substantial with camping cabins units and a licensed restaurant?

Are there cabins there ..... it looked like basic camping to me All I know it was nice green grass drive the boat & leave it on the shore.
Me ...... I'd fish Kinchant in the morning & Teemburra in the arvo

Great video....shame about the poor handling techniques though

Just watched the flick Whitto.......yep the vertical lifts were a bit less than average Overcoming that though some nice little fish....and I love the Pete Murray soundtrack

[BR65]

Agree Ren, thats a great song.
The mouth grip and lift wasnt great, but at least they were smaller fish (I just release those pups boat side if I can), with out the bulk of the larger "pigs" we see around the traps, and the boys who did the film were savy enuf to use mid rif support once the fish was boated.
Very Monduran like by the looks, how is the average size of fish in there now??

Teemburra has its own charm Brian ...... from the forested creek to some little back bays ( its only small dam though) - Love the place

Matt & I had some great encounters during the prefish for the ABT ( from memory my best was 86cm)

As for size ...... you can get lots of 30-40s - 80s are a good fish ...... but there are bigger

I'd better practice the words then hey? We get back to the Bay Friday,then it'll be full steam ahead unless something more important crops up??But of course thats not possible is it,there is nothing more important

I'm still not sure where we will be .........

Out of the way is good ... but power is pretty important ( certainly for me)

I guess a Gennie or two will deal with Battery charging and some lighting......I like the idea of putting your boat in the water on arrival and back on the trailer when you leave for home will eliminate too much traffic within the Camp Site

[Pete62]

We have a powered site booked 11 - 17 for anyone who needs to charge up.

Steve B is talking to Rob and Kelly at the kiosk about securing a site near SDA Bay. He was going to do a reccy and report back....in terms of power, I'll have a genny and I am sure a few others will as well, so you should be right for power.
