CONNOLLY DAM: Anglers at Connolly Dam landed some quality Golden and Silver Perch during the week and into the weekend.  These fish were all landed from the bank on a mixture of bait.  Anglers also had success from their kayaks, with two Stanthorpe anglers landing seven Golden Perch and a legal sized Murray Cod over the weekend.  Anglers trolling blades and spinnerbaits along the western bank landed some quality fish.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is fishing well on both the eastern and western sides of Warwick, with several reports of Golden Perch being landed over the past week.  Spinnerbaits have been the most successful, particularly to the east of Warwick.  Anglers targeting Murray Cod are also having success, with several reports of fish being landed on both diving and surface lures.

Jackall TN Trigon

Jackall TN Trigon vibration baits have utilises Our Metal Sinker System to make it cast longer and have less snags. The weight at the chin makes the lure swim upright and guards the body bod from bumping on rocks. Due to the heavy weight on the chin, TN Trigon stands on the bottom upright.

Specifications:

  • 60mm
  • 18.5g
