Fishing Report 9/1/2017

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam commented on conditions being a little tough over the weekend.  This was mainly due to the windy weather conditions.  Anglers who braved the wind were rewarded with some quality Golden Perch on both lures and bait.  Frozen saltwater yabbies and shrimps worked well for the bait anglers.  The Black Boys area was again the most successful spot over the weekend.  Anglers fishing the open water in the main basin saw the best results early morning on blades, lipless crankbaits and spinnerbaits.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly remained fairly consistent, with anglers landing some nice Golden Perch and a few Silver Perch on bait.  Frozen shrimps and worms were the most successful.  There were reports of a few smaller Murray Cod on the move.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River in most areas is fishing reasonably well, with several reports of smaller Murray Cod being landed on a variety of lures and bait.  The eastern side of Warwick fished better than previous weeks, with anglers landing some nice fish on spinnerbaits.  We also received reports of two legal sized Murray Cod being landed on surface.

MAROON DAM: Maroon is fishing well at the moment, with some solid numbers being landed.  Anglers fishing the afternoon session had the most success.  Spinnerbaits, blades and tail spinners worked well for the lure anglers, with shrimps working the best for the bait anglers.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Mazzy VIB

The big brother of the original Mazzy VIB 60. This upscaled version is 100mm and 50grams in weight to target the big predators.  The action is an exact copy of the original, with tail up at rest on the bottom & wide thumping pitch and roll the Mazzy Vibe is known for.

Designed to target Murray Cod, Barramundi, Jewfish, monster Golden Perch and will no doubt be a huge winner on saltwater predators like Snapper. Prototype testing landed plenty of cod over the magic metre and goldens over 60cm. Cod were up to 118cm!  They also work great on bass, jacks, salmon and trout.
