Fishing Report - 26/7/2016

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam anglers reported on a few more fish being landed on lures.  One local angler landed 10 quality Golden Perch on Saturday afternoon from his kayak.  All of these fish were landed on ZX40 Blades, with “Dark Night” being the most successful colour.  Other anglers reported on more Golden Perch landed on trolled hard body lures.  The bait anglers also managed to landed a few nice fish, with North of the Ski Club in the main basin and the drop offs in front of the Washpool Camp Reserve being the most successful areas.  We also received reports of two legal sized Murray Cod being landed on spinnerbaits.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam fish well over the weekend, with some lovely fish being landed on bait.  Anglers commented on the size and quality of the Golden Perch landed.  Two local anglers landed 10 legal sized Golden Perch and two legal sized Murray Cod over the weekend on a worm and yabby mix.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River saw a few fish being landed over the past with, with most reports coming from the eastern side of Warwick.  One local angler landed a 94cm Murray Cod and a couple of Golden Perch on crayfish.  There were a few more fish on the move, with legal size Golden Perch coming out of the Mill Hole and off the pontoon.  Bait anglers are having the most success.

MOOGERAH DAM: Moogerah saw a few nice bass being landed over the weekend.  Soft plastics are working the best in the deeper water in the main basin.  Darker coloured Paddletails fished on a ½ oz to 5/8 jighead slow rolled along the bottom seems to be a method that is working the best at the moment.

 

 

PRODUCT REVIEW

Jackall Chan Wake

Chan Wake can take a wild roll action or it’s able to retrieve as a buzz bait. While retrieving on the surface, the props on the back of the body makes a big draining sound and sprays like a small fish running away.  The Chan Wake can also be effective whilst twitching and jerking. Prop sound is ideal in murky water.

Fishing Report - 18/07/16

LESLIE DAM: Golden Perch at Leslie Dam were a little tight lipped over the weekend, with several anglers going home empty handed.  We received reports of a few fish being landed on bait in the deeper water near the Ski Club.  Frozen shrimps seemed to be the most successful form of bait.  Anglers fishing off the bank also picked up the odd Golden Perch.  There was some quality Catfish landed on worms in the main basin.  Hard body lures trolled in approximately 15 foot of water accounted for a few legal sized Golden Perch around the Black Boys.  Vertical jigged ZX Blades also accounted for a few in the main basin.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam anglers managed to pick up a few nice Golden Perch on bait.  Anglers using bait are seeing the best results, with saltwater yabbies working well when fished just off the weed edge.  We received reports of some big Golden Perch being landed, some up to 49cm.  Silent TN50 Jackalls bagged a few nice Golden Perch for the lure anglers.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River has improved slightly, with a few more fish being landed on bait.  Anglers fishing just out of Pratten landed some nice Golden Perch on crays.  Killarney anglers also reported on a few fish being on the move.  Spinnerbaits accounted for a few nice fish in Emu Creek, with some solid Golden Perch being landed over the weekend.

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam Anglers commented on a few more fish being landed over the past week and into the weekend.  Anglers reported on more fish falling to lures, with blades and mask vibes working the best.  Anglers are seeing the best results when targeting fish in deeper water in the main basin and just past the Washpool.  Frozen shrimps and saltwater yabbies are proving to be the most successful bait, with campers at the Washpool Reserve landing some legal seized Silver and Golden Perch off the bank.  We also received two reports of legal sized Murray Cod, one measuring 78cm and landed on a spinnerbait and the other on a frozen shrimp.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam remains consistent, with several legal sized fish being landed off the bank on bait.  Anglers commented on the size of the Golden Perch being landed at Connolly over the past few weeks.  Frozen shrimps and worms are working well, with most fish being landed just off the weed edge.  One local angler also managed a lovely 74cm Murray Cod on a cray fish.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Kingfisher Mantis (Articulated 88mm Surface Jointed Lure)

The Mantis range of surface lures are a pinnacle in Lure design and technology. Each Lure incorporates a contained rattle system (CRS) - making these lures the loudest and most versatile surface lures in the world.

All Mantis surface lures are specialized casting lures. The profile and weight distribution of each model provides a flat trajectory, allowing the lure to be cast underneath overhanging structure.

Each Mantis Lure has a rear weight system allowing the rear treble to sit low in the water and therefore optimizing the hook-up rate.
