MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON DAM: Both Moogerah and Maroon have fished quite well over the past week or so.  Anglers at Moogerah landed some nice Bass in the main basin on a variety of lures.   One angler at Maroon landed 14 nice Bass while casting OSP Hard Body lures and soft plastics into the weed pockets.

OTHER DAMS: There have also been some nice fish caught at Somerset.  Both Bass and Golden Perch have been very active.  These fish fell to blades, soft plastics and ice-jigs.

RIVER AND CREEKS: Fishing in our local river and creek systems has also picked up over the past week or so, mainly due to the weather conditions and the rainfall we had over the past few weeks.  One local angler landed a lovely 70cm Murray Cod on a surface lure in the Condamine River at Sandy Creek.  There were also a few nice fish landed in the Pratten area as well as to the east of Warwick at Murrays Bridge.
