Fishing Report 13/2/2018

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam saw a slight improvement over the past week, with a few more reports of Golden Perch being landed.  These fish were mainly landed on bait in the main basin and around the Black Boys.  Shrimps and saltwater yabbies continue to work the best, with afternoons proving to be the most successful time of day, particularly for the bait anglers.  Over the weekend, early morning anglers landed a few better quality Golden Perch while trolling hard body lures in approximately 15 feet of water along the Washpool and into Cod Alley.  Blades and mask vibes worked well when fished in the deeper water.

CONNOLLY DAM: There were a few legal sized Golden Perch and Silver Perch landed at Connolly Dam, mainly on bait along the eastern bank.  Numbers were down a little on previous weeks, but some of the fish landed were quality fish.  There were reports over the past week of a few smaller Murray Cod on the move.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River in the town area is in desperate need of a fresh, which would help to remove the thick weed in places.  Kayak anglers fishing upstream of the Mill Hole to the bottom of the High School landed a few Golden Perch.  Anglers continue to see the best results on the eastern side of town, with a report of a lovely 70cm Murray Cod being landed on a Bassman spinnerbait.
