Fishing Report 11/4/2017

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam are continuing to land some reasonable numbers of Golden Perch on both bait and lures.  Anglers fishing in the afternoon are having more success than the morning anglers.  Shrimps and saltwater yabbies are working well for the bait anglers.  Campers at the Washpool are also landing some quality Silver and Golden Perch from the bank below the campground.  Anglers are also landing a few large Catfish on bait.  We received two reports of legal sized Murray Cod landed over the past week, with the best fish measuring 72cm.  This fish was landed on a mask vibe in the main basin by a Stanthorpe angler.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam continues to fish quite well, with anglers reporting on landing good numbers of Golden Perch from the eastern bank on bait.  Shrimps and worms are working well for the bait anglers, with TN60 Jackalls, beetlespins and spinnerbaits all working well for the lure anglers.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is still quite dirty after the recent rise, which is making it difficult for the lure anglers.  Anglers using bait are managing to land some nice fish.  Anglers in the Killarney area are seeing the best results, with a 20 pound Murray Cod being landed recently.  Anglers are landing a few fish in the Warwick town area, with some larger Golden Perch being landed around the Mill Hole.  Anglers in the Inglewood area are reporting on some nice fish on the move, with good numbers of Golden Perch being landed in the Macintyre-Brook.  We also received reports of several Murray Cod being landed upstream of Inglewood, with Murray Cod weighing up to 30 pound being landed.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Jackall Mikey

The Mikey is a very versatile bait, if you hold your rod tip up it can be fished on the surface and will create a big wake. Or if you hold your rod tip down it can dive down to 3 feet deep and swim like a real fish. The Mikey is perfect bait to attract any surface/sub-surface feeder from Murray Cod and big Bass to Toga and Jacks. The Mikey has a three piece body design that produce a slithering snake like action. It has become a "go to lure" for big cod in the western flowing rivers.

The skull shell colours are constructed using different body material creating a harder rattle noise and have an opaque white bib.
