FISHING REPORT 22/12/2015

LESLIE DAM: Golden Perch at Leslie Dam are active at the moment, with anglers having success over the past week.  There were plenty of Golden Perch landed in lures in the main basin over the weekend.  Trolling hard body lures seems to be a method that is working very well at present.  The fish are sitting in approximately 20 to 25 feet of water.  We also received reports of several smaller Murray Cod being landed, with the largest measuring 65cm in length.  Live and frozen shrimps as well as saltwater yabbies are also accounting for some nice Golden and Silver Perch.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam has seen some improvement, with a few anglers reporting of some legal sized fish being landed.  One local angler landed a lovely Murray Cod from his kayak on a spinnerbait.  This fish was estimated to be close to the metre mark in length.  We also received reports of some nice Golden Perch being landed on TN70 Jackalls.  These fish are hard in the weed so it is important to place your cast in the correct spot.  There were also some nice Golden and Silver Perch, as well as the odd Catfish, landed on bait, with saltwater yabbies working the best.

MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON DAM: The Bass at Maroon have been a little tight lipped over the past week or so.  Anglers are sounding plenty of fish in the deeper water but are struggling to get them to bite.  Plastics seem to be the best option on the deeper fish.  Spinnerbaits casted hard into the weed edges are also accounting for the odd fish.  There have also been a few fish landed in the mouth of the creek and along the timber on shrimps.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is starting to improve, with a few more fish being landed on the eastern side of Warwick.  We received reports of some nice Golden Perch being landed just below the weir at Queens Park on bait.  The river is still a little dirty around the Pratten area, so things remain a bit quiet.  Shrimps and crays have been working the best in the Clifton area, with one local angler landing 4 Golden Perch on Sunday afternoon.  One lucky angler landed a lovely Murray Cod, measuring approximately 75cm, in the Killarney area in a red and black TT Spinnerbait.

 

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ALL OF US AT WARWICK OUTDOORS AND SPORTS

Fishing Report - 16/12/2015

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Leslie Dam continues to fish well, with several reports of Golden Perch being landed on bait in the latter part of the weekend.  One angler reported on landing his bag limit on Saturday afternoon on shrimps.  There were also quite a few Golden Perch landed on lures, with most of these fish being landed in 20 to 30 foot of water.  Blades and Jackall TN60 are working well on the fish in the deeper water.  Anglers fishing in the main basin are still seeing the best results.

COOLMUNDA DAM: Coolmunda remains fairly consistent, with one local Inglewood angler landing some nice fish while trolling Little Rippers along the creek bed.  We received reports of some nice Golden Perch and Silver Perch being landed in the deeper water.

MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON DAM: Moogerah remains a little quiet, with only a few reports coming in.  One angler managed to land nice Bass on Friday morning on plastics.  Anglers trolling tight through the timber are also landing a few nice fish in the deeper water (approximately 5 to 7 metres.  A local angler reported on landing a few nice Bass in the gorge while using spinnerbaits.  He was casting the spinnerbaits hard on the rock edge and letting them sink.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River has been a little slower than previous weeks, with not too many reports coming in from anglers.  There were a few Golden Perch landed at Murray Bridge on a mixture of lures and bait.  We also received reports of a few smaller Golden Perch being landed near the Lyndhurst Lane Bridge.  Water clarity remains an issue, particularly around the Pratten area.  However, one local angler managed 3 Golden Perch on Sunday afternoon from his Kayak on a purple Southern Cross hard body.  There was a massive 60cm Golden Perch landed in the Ballandean area on a Jackall TN60.

 

 

We would like to wish all our valued customers a very merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.

FISHING REPORT - 8/12/2015

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam fished well over the weekend, with good numbers of Golden Perch being landed on both lures and bait.  Soft and Hard Body lures worked well for the lure anglers.  We received reports from several anglers who had their bag limit in a reasonably short time on the water.  One local angler landed two smaller Murray Cod as well as six legal sized Golden Perch on Saturday afternoon on an Atomic Semi Hardz.  There were plenty of Golden Perch, Silver Perch and Catties landed in the main basin on a variety of bait.  Shrimps and saltwater yabbies accounted for most of these fish.  The Silver Perch and Catties that were caught were quality fish.

COOLMUNDA DAM: Coolmunda is fishing reasonably well, with some anglers landing some nice fish over the past week or so.  Blades are working well on Golden Perch in the deeper water.  There have also been a few Murray Cod landed in the more shallow water (approximately 6 feet) while trolling spinnerbaits.

MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON DAM: There have been some nice Bass landed in Moogerah earlier in the week, with anglers reporting of fish being caught on a variety of lures.  Numbers weren’t huge but most of the fish were quality fish.  The timbered area seems to be the most successful area, mainly due to the boat traffic on the dam.  One Stanthorpe angler caught and released seven nice Bass on Monday afternoon on an OSP Shad Tail Plastic.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River in the Pratten area is fishing well, with reports of plenty of Golden Perch being landed on bait.  Worms seem to be working the best.  The water clarity has slowed things down for the lure anglers.  One local angler landed a lovely 80cm Murray Cod in Emu Creek on a spinnerbait.  This fish was released after a quick photo.  There was also a few Golden Perch landed in the Mill hole on Saturday afternoon by a local father and his 5 year old son while using shrimps.

DON’T FORGET, MURRAY COD SEASON IS NOW OPEN.

Fishing Report - 1/12/2015

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam remains consistent, with most anglers having success over the past week.  There were several Golden Perch landed on trolled lures in approximately 15 – 25 foot of water.  Brighter coloured lures seems to be the most successful.  We received reports of some smaller Murray Cod being landed, with two of these fish measuring in excess of 60cm.  There were also several fish landed on bait, with some quality Silver Perch and Catties being landed off the bank on worms.

GLENLYON DAM: Glenlyon Dam is fishing well, with some great Murray Cod being landed down there over the past week or so.  There were plenty of fish measuring in between 70cm and 85cm.  The majority of these fish were landed on spinnerbaits.

MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON DAM: There were a few solid Bass landed at Moogerah over the weekend.  These fish were being landed on spinnerbaits by anglers fishing the weed edge in the main basin early in the morning.  There were also a few nice fish landed in and around the timber on both lures and bait.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River saw a few more fish being landed on lures late in the week.  However, the storm on Sunday afternoon has caused a slight rise in the river again and a colour change which will slow things up for the lure anglers.  There were several Golden Perch landed on bait in the town area as well as to the east and west of Warwick.

DON’T FORGET, MURRAY COD SEASON IS NOW OPEN.

 

PRODUCT REVIEW

Imakatsu Metal Craw Spin

New bladed vibration type.  Metal Craw Spin is excellent for lift & fall technique as well as a slow to medium roll.  The blades will spin freely on the fall making it excellent fishing vertical structure such as steep rock edges, weed edges and standing timber.

The size 3 blades will create vibration and flash to attract a bite. The bottom blade can be removed and a W hook can be fitted without affecting the lures action. If needed a stinger hook can be fitted to the tail when fish are not aggressive and short striking.

It works well straight out of the package but you can bend the wire to make the blades occasionally touch. The sound will imitate a fleeing shrimp.  The Metal Craw Spin will be a hit in Australias freshwater impoundment for bass, yellow belly and cod.

Twin Blade System creates a new standard.  Specially designed ultra thin material allows the blades to respond and the lure to rise quickly even over a small distance.  The increased response and sensitivity push performance to the limit.
