FISHING REPORT - 26/5/2015

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam has been a little quiet, with only a few legal sized fish being landed over the past week.  There were some quality Golden Perch landed on shrimps in the main basin opposite the boat ramps but numbers weren’t huge.  Campers at the Washpool also reported on a few Silver Perch and Catfish off the bank on Sunday.  There was also a 64cm Murray Cod landed on Sunday morning on a Kezza Mudmouse.

CONNOLLY DAM: Anglers reported on things being reasonably quiet at Connelly over the past week.  There were a few legal sized Golden and Silver Perch landed off the bank, with worms being the most successful.  One local angler landed a very healthy 66cm on a Imakatsu Cracker Craw.

MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON DAM: There are several schools of Bass in the main basin at Moogerah Dam.  These schools are quite active at times.  Blades, plastics, mask vibes, ice-jigs and tail spinners are all working well.  We received reports of quality Bass being landed, measuring up to 49cm in length.  Most of these fish are sitting close to the bottom in around the 30 feet of water.  Maroon is also seeing some nice fish being landed.  Both dams are certainly worth a try.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River between Killarney and Warwick is fishing reasonably well, with several anglers having success over the weekend.  We received reports of a few legal sized Golden Perch landed around Murrays Bridge on spinnerbaits.  Anglers fishing in the Killarney area also had success on crays.  There were several reports of Murray Cod being landed in the river.  This is a great sign for our river system.

 

PRODUCT REVIEW

 
Kezza Mudmouse

The Kezza Mudmouse is a handcrafted timber lure made by Toowoomba angler Kerry Ehrlich.  The Mudmouse comes in a variety of colours and depth ranges, with 6-8 metres being very popular and successful.  These timber lures are made from local Australian timbers and are proven and tested on a wide variety of both fresh and saltwater species.  The Mudmouse has to be seen to be believed. It walks over snags and thumps out heaps of vibration.  They are certainly worth a spot in your tackle box.
