Fishing Report - 26/7/2016

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam anglers reported on a few more fish being landed on lures.  One local angler landed 10 quality Golden Perch on Saturday afternoon from his kayak.  All of these fish were landed on ZX40 Blades, with “Dark Night” being the most successful colour.  Other anglers reported on more Golden Perch landed on trolled hard body lures.  The bait anglers also managed to landed a few nice fish, with North of the Ski Club in the main basin and the drop offs in front of the Washpool Camp Reserve being the most successful areas.  We also received reports of two legal sized Murray Cod being landed on spinnerbaits.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam fish well over the weekend, with some lovely fish being landed on bait.  Anglers commented on the size and quality of the Golden Perch landed.  Two local anglers landed 10 legal sized Golden Perch and two legal sized Murray Cod over the weekend on a worm and yabby mix.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River saw a few fish being landed over the past with, with most reports coming from the eastern side of Warwick.  One local angler landed a 94cm Murray Cod and a couple of Golden Perch on crayfish.  There were a few more fish on the move, with legal size Golden Perch coming out of the Mill Hole and off the pontoon.  Bait anglers are having the most success.

MOOGERAH DAM: Moogerah saw a few nice bass being landed over the weekend.  Soft plastics are working the best in the deeper water in the main basin.  Darker coloured Paddletails fished on a ½ oz to 5/8 jighead slow rolled along the bottom seems to be a method that is working the best at the moment.

 

 

PRODUCT REVIEW

Jackall Chan Wake

Chan Wake can take a wild roll action or it’s able to retrieve as a buzz bait. While retrieving on the surface, the props on the back of the body makes a big draining sound and sprays like a small fish running away.  The Chan Wake can also be effective whilst twitching and jerking. Prop sound is ideal in murky water.
