Well folks, the voting has been done, the counting has been done, and my T-Bone for for dinner is done ???
Not a bad response guys ( and girls ? ). But an overwelming " in favour " for Cressbrook.
Now that the location has been decided, and I'm sure the dates of March 8 & 9 will be good.
This will allow the water to still be warm and the fish co-operative ( apparently ??? ).
A campsite will be set up at the dam on Friday arvo. For those of you who wish to join us early, by all means do. As in the other post on my reckie to the area, the facilities are all there.
Now, the mission for you Freshies out there, is to come up with a game plan for us old Salties. What I thought might be able to happen, is get together and place a freshie and a slatie together in the same boat, if this is possible.
So as time goes by, if any freshie could nominate themselves as able to take a Salty for a guided tour of the place and show them the ropes ( lures ), this would be appreciated. Further, if one of you guys knows the dam pretty well, it would be appreciated if you could draw up a mud map and a few tips, for us that wish to do our own thing.
The campsite itself, will consist of 2 large tarps under which one can throw a small tent or Swag etc. This is when numbers will need to be known. Probably a week before the trip. Again, cooking facilities etc will be taken care of.
BY all means, bring the Cheese & Kisses and the Tin Lids, although there is no skiing in the dam, there is acres of room and a large playground near the boat ramp. A canoe or floaty thing would also come in handy. There is also the possibility that a fish can be caught from the bank ?
Please feel free to add comments as they come to mind, here. More info will also be available as it comes to hand and gets closer to the day.
