Bribie Island Weekend 19/20 July 2008
Donut,donut,donut!!! Paddled my arse off all weekend for 4 lousy Pike! I think we should change our name to ECFSC, East Coast Fish Scarer's Club! What a pack of fisherman we are! Well the fish didn't want to play, but pretty much we all did.
Fantastic weather conditions and great company made for another successful trip, even if there weren't too many fish to brag about. The campsite alone was worth the run up the highway, allowing us all plenty of room with excellent facilities. Friday and Saturday night saw plenty of liquid energy drinks consumed and plenty of the usual campfire behavior. I'll let the more eloquent members of the group entertain you with their versions of events.Overall, this was another excellent weekend away with good friends. It was disappointing on the fishing side of things, but few if any of us had any knowledge of the area and I think this was a major factor in our results. I felt that a few more days would have produced better results as we started to work out where our target species could be caught, there's a lot of water up there! Many thanks to all our sponsors for their continued support, please support them as much as you can!
Sunstate Hobie, Mossop's Tackle, Charlton's Tackle, Ningi Bait and Tackle.A big thank you to Bribie Island Scout Group for the use of their facility, hopefully our efforts to keep quiet will see us welcome back there. This venue is now available for use by members of our club on any given weekend.
Finally thanks to everyone who participated. It really was a great weekend and I hope the lack of fish wont deter us from returning to Bribie to try our luck again.
