Lenthalls Dam 7,8,9th March 08

[MacFish]

Thats amazing Mick, good to hear, how's the road in?

On Ausfish they were saying the road is chewed up?

Every dam is filling up except for the one that needs it most, Wivenhoe

Hope it doesn't fill up so much that it over flows and some fish go for a long swim

Cheers

Sel, the road is pretty corrogated and slippery at the moment, low and secong gear stuff most of the way.

Are the ausfish types still sooking about the HP and speed limits? I don't visit there anymore. Geez, if I had my way, bloody stink boats would be banned from there alltogether. Its good enough for Ewan Maddock and Baroon Pocket, why not here too?

I'll shut up now, I can feel the need for another rant.

Not as much as they used to whinge Mick. Most are happy now about the relaxation of motor size. Still some idiots whinging but they will never stop. Let them drive the extra bit to Monduran.

Thanks for the report, I think. Geez 8hrs no touches, doesn't sound promising for me on the weekend, oh well beats fishing the same old areas every weekend.

G'day,

Before I commit, 1 question - are there bloody sandflies at Lenthalls dam. Last time I was up that way, I was eaten alive. Re Poona trip . But truly, I want to come and have another weekend away, it's been a little while since the last AKFF weekend gathering I went to. Feedback will be great. Cheers.

G'day Fishinswing,

Mate, I live here, and fish Lenthalls as often as I can. I have never encountered a problem with sand-flies there.

Mosquitoes can be a little hot, damside around dusk but that is all.

Poona is on the coast, surrounded by mangroves and sandflats. All this in a genuine sub-tropical environment. Did you not bring the aerogard?

Hope you can maake it up mate.

This all looks too good for me, I am really keen but put me down as a possible only since we have just ramped up our planning on house sale with renno first plus building then moving. I just need to build up some brownie points from my efforts to get the leave pass Can I say Aaaaaaaarrrrggggghhhhh timing sucks............ Ah that's better now.

[fishinswing]

Hey Mick,

They loved me, 3 course meal. They just licked the tropical strength aeroguard of me and went for it. Covered head to toe in bites.

OK, count me in. I organised my time at work today so I can go. Look out Barra and Bass.

[WayneD]

Just an update guys. Went to the dam on the Australia Day long weekend. 7 yaksters all together for only 3 fish, all bass. Only managed two short sessions instead of the four long ones I planned. The water has risen a lot since my last visit there and the fishing was very tough. Water is murky but hopefully it will settle down by the time we get there in a few weeks.

On the camping side of things they are cracking down on the fires at the campsite, definately can't have one, which is on the rules that is printed on the board, but has never been enforced before, but now that they have the onsite ranger there he is doing his job. Camping fees are $4.50 per person per night and there is an honour box at the campsite that you drop your money in or else you have the option of giving them your credit card number. You then have to display the tag on your tent.

Dirt road to the campsite was good but the one to the dam is shite. Hopefully they will have graded it by the time we get there.

Anyhow only 5 weeks to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right, so we should see you by 7pm then? straight from the airport? Sel's volunteered to take the Tempo up on his trailer haven't you Sel? (better put some air in the tyres)

Bummer Steve, you know that Gra is right though don't you. Give your yak and tent to Sel and we can have it set up for you and have a coldie ready and waiting.
