Fishing Report - 21/10/2014

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam continues to fish well, despite the windy conditions.  The bait anglers had the most success on saltwater yabbies.  Lure anglers saw the best results while using blades and mask vibes, as well as trolling hard body lures.  One local angler landed six legal sized Golden Perch on OSP Blitz’s.  Most of the fish were caught in 20 feet of water.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam also continues to fish well.  It has been mentioned before that Connolly is a great dam in windy conditions because you can easily find a sheltered position out of the wind.  Both bait and lure anglers picked up some nice fish, with some quality Golden and Silver Perch landed over the weekend.

MOOGERAH/MAROON DAM: Anglers at Moogerah Dam had success in the timber while using TN60 Jackalls and Imakatsu Piranhas.  The fish were mainly located in the deeper water, however there were also some nice fish landed while fishing the edges with soft plastics.  Live shrimp also accounted for some quality Golden Perch, landed in the gorge.  Anglers at Maroon also landed several legal Bass over the weekend.  Early Sunday morning seemed to be the most successful time, with anglers managing to land some quality Bass on surface, before the wind picked up.  There were also several Bass landed by anglers fishing spinnerbaits and small crankbaits on the weed edges.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: Our rivers and creek systems continue to produce some nice fish.  We had numerous reports of anglers landing some quality Golden Perch, with the best numbers coming from the west of Warwick.  A young local angler managed to land 9 Golden Perch on Sunday afternoon on hard body lures, in the Condamine River in the Pratten area.  There were also reports of some nice fish landed at Murrays Bridge on crays.
