A month of camping and fishing in Queensland
Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2015 8:35 pm
Hey guys. Thought I would put a bit of a trip report up. I've just got home from 4 and a half week fishing and camping..... A few small hick ups but overall was a lot of fun.
We left Saturday morning and put in a big day to get to glenbawn. The weather was **** when we got up so we thought we may as well spend the day making a run for the border to lake moogerah for a bass fish. Awesome caravan park where you can camp next to the water and boat. I got 15 minutes of fishing in and then my etec oil light started going off. Long story short I had to spend a few days in Brisbane while the guys at Downes marine changed out the oil pump (couldn't recommend these guys enough. They were incredibly helpful)
After that we made a run for gladstone to visit a friend who was fishing he's local comp. (Boyne tannom hookup) we spent a couple of days chasing some flatties and blue salmon amongst other things, which we nailed a few
The boys hoped they may be able to get me on to a Barra at port elma. Some more flatties, salmon, cod and 1 nice salty Barra caught by Jason
After leaving the boys we heading in land to Cania dam and lake Victoria. I caught a couple of small bass at Cania. We then headed north to rocky and along the coast doing the touristy things (not much fishing) up to Airlie beach. We took the boat out amongst the yachts
We headed inland again to lake Proserpine and had morning fish before heading down to kinchant dam. I fished the evening and again in the morning and finally managed my first Barra
As I let the bride sleep in it was a bit of a struggle to net and take a pic but I made do.
Another stint at gladstone and out to Curtis island for a few days with our mates where we nailed a few more flatties
From there we were off to Fraser Island for 5 days. More camping and fishing. Nailed some salmon, long Tom and a stargazer
We left the island and headed to Somerset dam for a couple of nights and gotta good arvo fish in but didn't bother any. We spent the last few days of the trip heading down the nsw coast and home. Well I've missed a heap but here's a few more photos
