    Family Weekend M&G CANCELLED 21/22 FEB 09

    After a fantastic weekend at Wivenhoe Dam last weekend. I thought it would be a great place for a family camping / fishing / relaxing weekend. The camping facilities are great..cost is minimal. Can fish in Wivenhoe in canoes / kayaks / electrics etc. Power boats can use Somerset.
    Could organise plenty of activities..cricket match, casting comp etc etc etc

    Proposed dates : February 21st and 22nd 2009.

    Anyone interested ????

    What's the fishing really like at WH? I caught a heap of some very small thing there on my only visit.

    I didn't like the place as it was full of drunken twits who kept me up all night! If a large group took the place over, we could be the drunken twits!

    Cheers,

    The ranger there seems quite good and competent...I doubt he would tolerate the twits. The camping area is at Logans Inlet.

    Sounds good Greg, I would be in that.

    Mitchell could out fish you again, look out though he's getting better and bigger fish, i suppose thats what happens when youre nearly six.

    Is there any cabins there or just tent it?


    Cheers

    Might be in for this Greg. Hopefully by then my problems will be under control and would be deserving of a break. Its only 20mins from here too! Let you know as things progress.

    G'Day PinHead - great idea. I'd be keen at this stage - I'll keep an eye on the post and see what happens from now till feb next year. What are your thoughts on Somerset as an alternative as well to give folk some options? Or is Somerset just a short drive away from Wivenhoe to put your boat in there? Just a thought. Cheers, Darren.

    Could be fun. I wouldn't mind giving this freshwater fishing thing a bit of a go. Might even hook me a catfish.
    I'll let wifey know and see what she says.

    Being near the dam you can almost guarantee a fine weekend without rain.
