FISH OF THE WEEK - 14/10/2014

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam is fishing very well at the moment, with anglers landing quality fish over the weekend.  There were huge numbers of Golden Perch landed on live and frozen bait, as well as a variety of hard body lures.  The bait anglers had success on live shrimp and crays, as well as saltwater yabbies.  These fish were landed in the deeper water.  The lure anglers landed fish on lipless crankbaits, hard body lures and blades.  The majority of the fish were landed while casting the structure and trolling.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam continues to fish well with good numbers of Golden and Silver Perch being landed on bait and lures.  Live and frozen shrimp was the most successful for the bait anglers, while spinnerbaits worked well for the lure anglers.  There were also some catfish landed on bait.

MOOGERAH/MAROON DAM: Anglers landed some quality Bass over the weekend at Moogerah.  Anglers had success while trolling Tilsan Bass Lures in the timber.  We also had reports of quality Bass being landed on blades as well as tail spinners.  Most anglers commented on an increase of boat traffic due to the warmer weather.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: We had reports from several anglers of good numbers of Golden Perch as well as several legal sized Murray Cod.  The majority of the fish were landed to the east and west of Warwick.  Most fish were landed on hard body bibbed lures while casting the structure. The lure action is definitely on the increase, mainly due to the warmer water temperature.  Green and black lures were the standout.
