Dear all Kayakers,
Brisbane Fishing Online would like to invite you to its first ever Hinze Dam Kayak Camp and Comp. The event will be held over the weekend of the 17th & 18th of May 2008 on the shores of picturesque Hinze Dam (Lake Advancetown). The chosen campsite is merely metres from the lake’s edge allowing for ease of deployment during the competition.
Although more of a social event and a chance to get out with fellow Kayakers to have some fun, there will be an informal competition running over the course of the weekend. The competition categories will consist of the longest fish for various species such as Australian Bass, Golden Perch and Saratoga. In the spirit of this being a social event, there will also be many token prizes for categories such as ‘First to fall off their Yak!’
Thanks to our sponsors for this event: Viking Kayaks, Searing Tackle and Sports Tuition. With there support there will be some great prizes on offer. For more information on how to enter, register and the itinerary for this event, please visit this link:

Winter Bassing
Quite a few years have passed since I penned my first piece on catching bass in winter for a national glossy magazine. Recent trips to several lakes in southern Queensland from Monto south to the border lead me to review current tactics to see how much cool water bassing has changed in subsequent years. The verdict is that not much has changed, the fish still behave in much the same ways and Angling methods have evolved very little, but here’s an update for newcomers to winter fishing for bass. Everything I write about winter bass refers to lake dwelling fish in stocked impoundments.
Big coat, big fish? Schultzy got this lovely mid-winter bass by working around a bait school in Somerset.

Gold Coast Easter Bream Classic - Team BFO Wrap Up
Well back to my home ground, fishing the Gold Coast. A huge change from the big fish at Tassy! Now I have to put up with undersize bream and bags that weigh less than some of the fish from down there, it almost sounds depressing!
The conditions were looking good, in fact almost perfect. Not too much wind, light cloud cover and a run in tide. Our prefish attempt the week before ended up being shocking, all we really gathered from that session was where the fish weren’t! We had decided to fish a spot close by first and then head up the Nerang River to where we can usually put a bag of fish together. The day got off to an even better start when we were given key tag number 3, Sweet! We would be off early as well. Now all we needed was 5 fish in our first 5 casts, if only it were that simple..

Tassy Bream’n
Well the day had come, I had planned for months leading up to this competition. I was going to tangle with some of the BIG Black Bream that the Derwent River has to offer.
The Derwent River is the main river that runs through Hobart; it’s a great looking system, with a variety of different structure to fish, both man made and natural. Staying just down the road from the river, I was itching to fish it and could not wait for day 1 of the comp.
