Fishing Report - 27/6/2016

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam have been doing it a little tough, with note too many legal sized Golden Perch reported.  Bait seems to be the preferred option at the moment, with frozen shrimps and saltwater yabbies working the best.  There were a couple of legal sized Golden Perch landed from the bank between the concrete boat ramps and the wall.  The lure action has been fairly slow.Anglers hopping blades on the bottom are picking up the odd Golden Perch but overall Leslie Dam has been fairly quiet.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam anglers are having a good time at the moment, with plenty of big Golden Perch being landed on frozen shrimps and saltwater yabbies.  Most of these fish are being landed just off the weed edge.  One lucky angler from Pratten landed a 64cm Murray Cod on a crayfish.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is fairly dirty, right through to Pratten.  There haven’t been too many reports of fish being landed.  There were some landed around the Killarney area, where the water is starting to clear.  Most of these fish were landed on bait.

COPETON DAM: Located 30km Southwest of Inverell, Copeton is fishing extremely well at the moment, with Murray Cod in excess of 1 metre being landed on a regular basis.  The majority of these fish have been landed on surface.  If it is a big Murray Cod you are after, Copeton is the place to be at present.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Storm Arashi Deep

Tight wiggling action for maximum flash and vibration, the Arashi Deep gets down faster than any other in its class thanks to its super thin circuit board lip. Available in both a 18ft and 25ft diving model, this lure has proven itself on monster Murray Cod, huge impoundment Barra and the mighty PNG Black Bass.

Available in four different colours (Dumble Door, Googong, Perch UV Tail and Slick Slide), their diving depth is up to 7 metres.  These lures are 90mm in length and weigh in at approximately 32g.
