Fishing Report 24/4/2018

Leslie Dam: Anglers at Leslie Dam continue to land some nice fish from the bank on bait.  The eastern bank proves to be quite successful, with several Catfish and the odd better quality Golden Perch being landed on on shrimps and worms.  Blades and soft vibes have been the most successful for lure anglers.  Hard body lures have also accounted for a few smaller Golden Perch along the Washpool.  Anglers targeting Murray Cod have managed to land some smaller Murray Cod on spinnerbaits.

Moogerah Dam: Moogerah Dam is on the improve, with anglers reporting on some nice Bass over the past couple of weeks.  The timbered areas are worth a look as there were some nice fish landed in this area on spinnerbaits and Jackall TN60s.  Soft plastics also accounted for a few nice Bass in the main basin.  Anglers reported on landing some quality Golden Perch on bait.

Rivers and Creeks: The Condamine River is fishing reasonably well at the moment, with a few reports of some nice fish being landed.  Numbers haven't been huge but the fish caught have been of a quality standard.  One local angler caught and released a lovely 90cm Murray Cod on a surface lure.  Most of the usual sports to the east and west of Warwick are producing a few fish, particularly for lure anglers.  There were also some Carp removed from our local waterways.

 

PRODUCT REVIEW

Shimano Tranx 300

The Shimano Tranx is the next level in saltwater proofed baitcast reels. Featuring the coreprotect concept, meaning the Tranx range has greatly improved water resistance whilst maintaining a “free” feel when winding. Ideally suited to most baitcasting applications like soft-baiting, light-jigging and casting small and medium sized Shimano stick-baits. The Shimano Tranx baitcaster reels are not only ergonomic in the hand, packed with more than enough drag, durable and strongly built but are also setting the bar in water resistance.

Fishing Report 17/4/2018

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam saw the best results in the latter part of the week and into the weekend.  Numbers weren’t huge but there were some quality fish amongst them.  There were reports of some Golden Perch landed, measuring up to 50cm in length.  We also received reports of a few legal sized Cod on the move, with a Millmerran angler landing two nice fish on Sunday on spinnerbaits.  Bait continues to work well when fished from the bank.  Blades and soft vibes continue to be the lures of choice.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam is a little quiet at present, with anglers landing the odd legal sized Golden Perch along the bank on bait.  We received a report from a local kayak angler who landed a 67cm Murray Cod over the weekend while trolling a red and black spinnerbait.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is fishing well in some places along the Condamine River.  The town area is a little quiet, with anglers landing the odd fish below Warwick High and upstream of Scots Weir on hard body lures.  Anglers around Murrays Bridge and Cullendore area continue to land some reasonable fish on lures.  The western side of town is certainly worth a look.

Fishing Report 9/4/2018

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam continues to fish quite well, from both boat and bank.  Bait anglers continue to see results when fishing from the bank on most forms of bait.  Anglers continue to land plenty of Catfish and smaller Golden Perch along the eastern bank.  Anglers trolling hard body lures are landing a few fish in the back section of the dam, with deeper diving lures working the best.  Blades, mask vibes and Atomic Semi Hardz are landing some nice Golden perch in the deeper water in the main basin.

MOOGERAH DAM: Anglers at Moogerah have been landing some quality Golden Perch and Bass.  Spinnerbaits and TN Jackalls fished in the timber accounted for some solid fish.  Shrimps continue to be the most successful form of bait, with several reports of legal sized Bass and Golden Perch being landed by anglers using this form of bait.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River continues to fish well, with a few fish being landed over the weekend in the town area as well as to the east and west of Warwick.  Anglers fishing in the Victoria Hill and Pratten areas saw some quality fish landed on spinnerbaits and smaller hard body lures.  We also received reports from Murrays Bridge and Cullendore areas of some quality Golden Perch being landed on lures.  Anglers fishing between Warwick High and the Mill Hole reported on several Golden Perch being landed, with smaller Mumblers working the best.
