Fishing Report 3/4/2017

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam had reasonable success from the bank last week and into the weekend.  We received reports from several anglers advising of plenty of smaller Golden Perch being landed on shrimps and saltwater yabbies in various locations around the dam.  Lure anglers landed some quality Golden Perch.  Kayak anglers reported on landing some large Golden Perch while trolling TN60 Jackalls along the eastern bank.  A local angler managed to land a legal sized Murray Cod on a Imaktsu Alive Chatter.  Chatterbait Blades and mask vibes have also been working well for the anglers fishing the deeper water.

CONNOLLY DAM: Anglers at Connolly Dam reported on some good numbers of Golden and Silver Perch being landed on a variety of baits and lures.  Anglers fishing from the bank landed some good numbers on Saturday, with some anglers reporting on filling their bag limits.  Anglers trolling hard body lures also reported on some quality fish landed on deep diving hard body lures and spinnerbaits.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River saw a good fresh in the latter part of the week.  Prior to the flood, there was some quality fish landed on lures, including a lovely 97cm Murray Cod landed on a spinnerbait.  Anglers fishing with bait also landed some quality Golden Perch as the river started to rise.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Imakatsu Alive Chatter

The Imakatsu Alive Chatter 70 is a hybrid between a conventional minnow type lure and a Chatter Bait.

Vibration, flash and movement paired with its slow sinking nature make the Alive Chatter the ultimate lure for targeting Australian Native Species. Uniquely balanced with the weight set forward in the protruding jaw enables the lures high speed roll to be achieved. The skirted trebles are another key feature giving the lure constant movement on the retrieve or pause. The skirted trebles add balance to the lure giving the ability to maintain its action on a dead slow roll or burning retrieve.

The Alive Chatter 70 is ideal to target Australia’s native sportfish such as Bass, Golden Perch, Mangrove Jack, Estuary Perch, Sooty Grunter and many more!
