Fishing Report - 24/10/2016

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam have landed some quality Golden Perch over the past week and into the weekend.  Some anglers reported on good numbers of fish being landed on lures.  One local angler filled his bag limit of Golden Perch while casting TN60 Jackalls around the Black Boys.  Mid week anglers also reported on a few more fish being landed on trolled hard body hures.  We received a report from a Gatton Angler who landed a lovely 76cm Murray Cod on a Kezza Mudmouse while trolling the main basin on Friday afternoon.  Anglers fishing from the bank also reported on some reasonable fish being landed over the weekend.  Bait anglers saw big numbers of Golden Perch landed, mainly in the northern end of the dam on saltwater yabbies and shrimps.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam is fishing reasonably well at present, with some solid Golden Perch being landed on lures from the bank.  Anglers are also experiencing some success on saltwater yabbies, with some quality Golden and Silver Perch being landed over the weekend.  A local angler managed to land three legal sized Golden Perch on Saturday morning while fishing from his kayak.  These fish fell to a black ZX Blade in the weed pockets.  We received several reports of smaller Murray Cod being on the move.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is starting to clear a little, which has seen a few more fish being landed on lures.  Spinnerbaits are working a little better that hard body lures at the moment.  We received reports of some nice Golden Perch being landed in Killarney, Murrays Bridge and Canningvale.  There were also some nice fish landed downstream of the Wallace Street bridge on crays.

MAROON DAM: Marron saw some quality Bass landed over the weekend.  Most of these fish were landed close to the weed and lily pads on soft plastics and Jackall Squirrel 61.

 

PRODUCT REVIEW

Jackall Squirrel 61SP

The Squirrel jerkbait range has got every situation covered. The Jackall Squirrel has a plethora of diving depths and floating, suspending or sinking models, Squirrels also come in rattling and silent. Their tight wobble, combined with a stop-go retrieve, mimicks the action of an injured or frightened minnow shape baitfish.
