I'm keen to break the yak fishing drought and hit Hinze Dam for a fish on Saturday morning if anyone else is keen?

I am thinking of hitting the water at dawn, looks to be a good day for Bassin, overcast, muggy but not too hot......

Sunrise is apparently 4:45am, I'll be looking to hit the water around 5am, but anyone who wants to rock up a bit later let me know and we can arrange to meet near the ramp at whatever time suits.

Launching from the ramp on the Eastern side of the dam near the water tower.

I usually fish until late in the day, will probably come off the water close to midday

Keen to go to Hinze but Sat morning is my little girls swimming lesson. The kid is only 19 months old and her 'sport' is already taking up some of my weekends!

Hey Wayne,

Might be open to a Sunday Session.

Prefer Saturday, but if others (if any?) would rather Sunday we might be able to shift the day 8)

I am definately in for Sunday. What type of permit do you need and can you get it online.

Heya Wayne,

Fishing Permits can be purchased at the dam kiosk, weekend permit for $5, or a year permit for $45.

The Ranger there is a good bloke, last time my Dad was up we went fishing early in the morning and saw the Ranger on our way to the ramp, pulled over and have a good chat and asked him if he minded if we fished and then dropped by afterward to get a permit from the kiosk and he was ok with that.

We dropped by later and purchased the permit as promised, had another good chat and were on our way......I'm sure you could do the same and it would be no problem.

I have a permit so if pulled up we can just explain as above.

 

[WayneD]

Cool. So can we move it to Sunday then?

 

[Guest]

Heya Wayne

I have a clear weekend by the looks of it, so might actually fish both days

Sunday morning sounds good mate, let me know what time you think you will arrive.

Are you familiar with the access points at Hinze?......I prefer the Eastern ramp near the water tower, let me know if you need some directions?

 

[WayneD]

5 am is good for me. I saw the exit on my way to Palm Beach the other day but wouldn't have a clue where to go. I will have a look on my map and see how I go.

No worries Wayne

If you take the exit to Hinze Dam southbound, and then come back across the highway via the overpass you will come to a decent sized roundabout.

To make life easier I can meet you at the roundabout at around 4:50am and I can show you how to get to the Eastern Ramp.

When you hit the roundabout, take the first exit to your left, I'll park my X-Trail somewhere there in view.

No chance of you getting lost this way, look forward to meeting you and having a fish mate.

I have invited another mate of mine Chris, not sure if he is a goer or not yet though as he might not have any way to transport his yak.

Anyone else keen? 8)

Will PM you my phone number and if you decide you can make it text me the night before and Wayne and I can try and loiter closer to the ramp area until you make it?

 

[Guest]

Map attached, showing lauch point.

Jake, if your able to join us, we'll try and stay somewhere in the red shaded area until you arrive, there should be good line of sight so it shouldnt take too long for you to locate us

 

[Jake]

Thanks Dallas, you're a gentleman. I'll let you know sat night one way or the other....(it is Sunday morning we're talking about isnt it?)
Cheers,
Jake

Won't be there for fishing but post an ETA for return at the ramp, and I'll bring some cold Christmas cheer to share with all present.

Can collect the book then also.
