Wivenhoe Kayak and Canoe Fishing Convention 2010

[Dodge]

Entries can now be made for the 2010 Wivenhoe Kayak and Canoe Fishing Convention on Sat/Sun 11-12 September at the Captain Logans Complex at Wivenhoe.

Although it well sponsored with prizes and trophies, including a draw from the hat for a couple of kayaks, all the entry money [except $5 insurance] goes to the Somerset and Wivenhoe Stocking Groups so is a major fund raiser for the group and well worth supporting.

Last year there were 100 starters restricted to kayaks and canoes, and members from AKFF were well represented, its a bloody good turn out whether a serious angler or just a social butterfly to enjoy the event.

The series of links that follow [thanks for the OK mods] should give all the info required

Looking at the latest KFDU fishing/bowling shirts I think there will be quite a few butterflies there this year .......must remember to pack my sunglasses

We'll have to see if Danny (Mr Bass) Wongas, can do it again this year, or was last year just a fluke . All the pressure is on him

Look forward to seeing everyone there again. Reserve me a seat in the beer tent Dodge.

The dam is way different to last year with a massive fill late last year and continuing this year, Wivenhoe is certainly fishing differently from past years.

The good thing is that we are 4 weeks out from the comp and the dam will be filling over the next few days, Somerset dam upstream is at 100 percent and it will overflow to the dam and with the rain band we have up here at the moment we might just see it fill within 50cm from the top of the spillway. The long walk down from your tent to the water side is no longer with the waters edge being a few meters from the campsite.

I'm certainly looking forward to it and as others have mentioned it is a top social weekend, it would be great to get an even larger turn up than last year so if you have the inclination to come along get on it.

Seeya there

Cheers

Son of a bitch muthalova. Looks like I'm flying out to a trade show in London on the 11th. Can't believe it. Somebody is going to have to step up to the barby and fill my shoes.

From site 43, picture taken only 24 hours ago.

About 30 paces to the water from the post line... site 42 is the other side of the tree

Note to everyone take a rubbish bag with you as the bins at every site have now been removed, and replaced with wheelie bins around the perimeter of the cricket pitch paddock and emptied by Somerset Council they were unemptied for 2 days and chokka this week

With that other pair its hard to know what is real and what is GGW talking as very similar mate, but was the weather for that drop.

Fong there is no new beginners section, all are in the same mix.

While its is not an out of hand sort of social event personally I would not take kids there.
