Fishing Report 26/4/2016

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam was very quiet over the weekend due to the extremely windy weather conditions.  We didn’t receive too many reports of fish being landed towards the back end of the weekend.  Anglers had some success on Friday afternoon landing some nice Golden Perch.  Shrimps worked the best in the main basin.  There were some solid Golden Perch landed from the southern bank near the Washpool Camping Reserve.  Campers also managed to land some big catfish on worms.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam saw good numbers of fish being landed over the weekend, mainly from the bank.  Anglers had success towards the southern end of the dam on shrimps and crays.  Connolly is a great spot when the weather conditions are windy as you can find protection in one of the many coves around the dam.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is a little slow at the moment, with not too many anglers having success.  We received reports of a few legal sized Golden Perch being landed from the pontoon near Tiddalik.  We also received reports of Golden Perch a smaller Murray Cod being landed in the Mill hole.  One local angler braved the windy conditions on Sunday and landed himself two nice Golsen Perch at Murrays Bridge on a Kezza Mudmouse.

MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON DAM: The boating traffic was quite heavy at both dams.  We received reports of a few fish being landed at Moogerah, mainly on lures.  There were also some nice Silver Perch landed over the weekend.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Jackall Gantarel

Crafted with an unequaled attention-to-detail and two durable joints, the segmented Jackall Gantarel creates an incredibly realistic bluegill imitation that will fool the largest and most seasoned fish. On either side, the Jackall Gantarel is molded with extended pectoral fins, which enhance stability and allow the lure to dive down to 3-feet with a smooth, S-shaped swimming action. Able to perform 180-degree turns with a sharp jerk, the Jackall Gantarel evokes reflex-driven reaction strikes from fish that may be interested, but not fully committed.

Constructed with a number of subtle, yet innovative features, the Jackall Gantarel is built with a swiveling line-tie that reduces line twists and a chin hanger that allows anglers to add weight for a slow-sinking presentation. At the rear, the Jackall Gantarel incorporates an eye molded into the tail, so anglers can attach an optional trailer hook. Fitted with two swiveling, feathered treble hooks, the Jackall Gantarel is a must-have for any fishery.
