[threedogs]

Not forgetting Jeff and Anne may pop in to say hello as well.
cant wait tick tock tick tock its an old clock lol
Chances are you may see a Koala close up, plenty of cockies, galahs ,hawks and eagles.
there is also a resident 6 ft Goanna who may show himself as well

[SG1]

Dam, I will most likely be up the other way near Yarrawonga around then visiting family, would of liked to pop in and say hi, looks like a nice spot.

[threedogs]

@ SG1 do you require GPS co-ords , I think Bob has them

[megatexture]

Nice looking spot there fellas

[threedogs]

Thanks,,, ten years ago sitting in my mates garage we threw a dart at a map of Vic
this is what we came up with, Usually get up there 2-3 times a year ,love it

[Bob]

Nice looking spot there fellas

Yeah it is so how about dropping down for the Cod opening.
Will guarantee that you will catch a Cod LOL

[megatexture]

I wish! I could fish here with a 10 min drive( not that I'd eat anything out of the brisbane river) or an hr to the beach but I just don't have the time unfortunately lol

[Bob]

Yep, will try to drop in on the 4th. Going up to the High Country on the 5th.

As usual it will be good to see you Jeff.
A bit jealous of your High Country Trip/

Looking forward to this trip four days of Fishing and yarning around the Camp Fire

[threedogs]

Wayne and Pricey are starters still waiting on Phil to confirm.
Should be good,, I think you met the guys a few trips back

[Bob]

Have not met Wayne & Pricey but hey all the merrier.

Hope we can get your usual spot but on the last day of the last meetup Loraine & I wnet downstream and there were quite a few good Camping Spots

CHANNEL 17 UHF

Will be leaving Bendigo at 7am on the Thursday

[threedogs]

Pricey is the big dude who drank southern comfort and wayne is 32nd part aboriginal lol dont ask
they always argue with each other. John has a white Delica and Wayne has an extra cab Lux 07 model
Have been down stream heaps of time but always return to Daves camp

[Bob]

I agree Daves Camp is great but we have to have an alternative if someone else has taken the spot.

Looking forward to a relaxing 4 Days

[threedogs]

Phil cant make it too busy but no problems .
Not as if he was going to worry the Cod population Rlmao

[Bob]

Suffering from CRAFT as I have met Wayne & Pricey on a trip when Cuppa came on a trip.

[Cuppa]

Roofy’s putting the hard word on me to come up & defend the championship! Now that I’m closer (approx 300kms) I love to get up there & enjoy one of John’s superlative camp oven roasts, (don’t give a toss about the cod LOL) but unfortunately I have a prior appointment on the Saturday (6th) arvo which I’ve promised to go to. Would far rather be up there with you blokes, but I’m not going to rush up there & back just for an overnighter. Have a great time, maybe I’ll get back again next year.

When are you doing the roast TD? :)

[the evil twin]

Is the plural of Cod, Cod?
If so, how can you get a kick in the Cods and is that the same as walloping them?

We treat them like Carp over here and just have a few tiddlers in the odd local pond to keep the kids amused

[threedogs]

Can do the roast on Friday no big deal

[threedogs]

Being Introduced would them make them vermin,
notice the guys name was Karl Langdon better known over
here for his Blind ads and west coast footballer if it is him

Then again there are huge Mulloway in the Yarra, true story just dont eat them

[Bob]

When are you doing the roast TD? :)
Would be great to see you again Cuppa.
Hang on a moment arnt you a vegetarian LMAO

[threedogs]

lol theres two words you don't see together roast and vegetarian,
well spotted you old sage you

[Sir Roofy]

would be great to see you again cuppa.
Hang on a moment arnt you a vegetarian lmao

see ya up there cuppa no excuse now

[Cuppa]

Would be great to see you again Cuppa.
Hang on a moment arnt you a vegetarian LMAO

Part time vegetarian! LOL. About 70% veggie, + chicken & fish. Don’t generally eat red meat. Last time I ate red meat was TD’s roast. Currently on a low carb weight reduction diet .... if I make it up there that’ll have to go by the wayside. I’m working on getting there. Will let you know during the week if I can make it.

[threedogs]

@ Bob,,,, Pricey and Co should get there before dark on the Friday,
all depends what time they knock off

[Cuppa]

OK, it looks like I’ll make it for the full Thurs to Sat. :bananadancing:Are we all chipping in for TD to feed us again?

I could do with a mud map from Bearii to the site (pretty please) unless we are going to meet in Bearii at a set time. GPS coords might help if my ipad works under the trees. I’ll put my CB on channel 17, although that wont be much good if, like last time, someone at camp forgot to switch theirs on! I might even be the first up there & I don’t want to get all set up only to have some of you mongrels rock up & tell me I’m at the wrong site!

Looking forward to it.

Cuppa

[threedogs]

I think Bob is doing the roast and fixings

[Sir Roofy]

[mudnut]

I saw the channel 17 thing after I PMed, Bob. No worries, just scratch the channel 10 thing. I will be bringing my little tinnie, as I can't be bothered to unload it. It only has oars, but we will see how fast the current is before we use it.

[threedogs]

We have launched a tinnie from Daves camp bit tricky but doable

[mudnut]

I've found river road, so I will cruise along there until I find youse.

I intend to get there early in an attempt to get the Spot

The Co-ordinates for those who have a GPS are: -
35°51'36.7"S 145°17'39.7"E Just copy that and paste in Google Maps and it will show you the location

BTW Craig (Mudnut) Cuppa intends coming through Bendigo leaving Ballarat at 9.00 am so that should fit in with you timetable. Why don't you PM him

[threedogs]

re checked your co-ords mine is at turn off yours is camp so 50mtrs apart

[MEGOMONSTER]

I've found river road, so I will cruise along there until I find youse.

Last time I came up Friday for a visit before going on to Yarrawonga, I couldn't phone them, no reception, couldn't get em on the UHF, all turned off or turned down, lol. I found them eventually. Lol

[mudnut]

Yeah I've got a vic roads map, that will get me there but no GPS. The google maps shows the spot. (After it finally loaded).

[threedogs]

Great the more the merrier, if fishing you'll need a NSW inland licence

[Cuppa]

Hey TD,
Seeings you’re a knife enthiusiast an all, I’m guessing you might be half reasonable at sharpening knives, something that I’m pretty hit & miss at achieving. (Seems a matter of luck as to whether they end up sharper or blunter than before I started). If there is any possibility you could bring your sharpening gear up to Bearii I’ve got a pocket knife (Schrade Uncle Henry) & a kitchen knife (Sebatier I think) which could do with your expert attention. You might even be able to help me improve my technique? (I have a small diamond sharpener).

Cuppa

[Bob]

If we make it, it will be my wife,son,daughter and I.

That is great and I am quite sure that your family will enjoy it

[mudnut]

I'm baaaack!

[threedogs]

yeah nice size how big, ??
Did you get it from the boat?

[mudnut]

I caught that in the hole I was casting into to get those silvers, on Monday night around 11.30, TD. It came in at 52.5 cm. BUGGER!. In total I got 11 carp, two undersize cod, 4 silvers and that unidentified perch.

How did you go with the trip home?


While the fish were off the bite during the day, I cremated all of the carp and cleaned the joint up a bit.

[threedogs]

Nah drive home was ok , still regret not taking camper, but that life.
Ive culled even more gear and have a new Awning light. same as me DRL.
One will do the job. Ther is another thread started by cuppa," someone s gotta do it"
Bob fractured his ankle and is in a full cast, more scan on monday

[mudnut]

Yeah. I rang him when I got to my parents place. The drive home for him, must've been agony. The weather was magnificent from Sunday, on. The Vic rangers came around for a visit, but I never saw the NSW wildlife officers. When the boat traffic stopped, the fish went nuts.

Overall, it was a great trip. The Old Trol didn't miss a beat either.

[Cuppa]

still am :) Bang Head

Me too. Saw them play 4 times.
Favourite songs - Skating away on the Thin Ice of a New Day & Minstrel in the Gallery.

[Cuppa]

I'm baaaack!

Phew, that’ll save sending out a rescue party.

[mudnut]

I had a sleep Monday arvo so I could stay up and fish into the night. For a long time after dusk, I couldn't keep a bait on the hook, as per most of the days, but then it went quiet and that's when I got the cod. The moon was unreal. I wish I had a better camera to capture it properly.
