FISHING REPORT - 24/2/2015

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam didn’t see too much action in the earlier part of the weekend due to the weather conditions.  There were a few legal sized Golden Perch landed on Sunday afternoon off the eastern bank on bait.  Shrimps were the most successful for the bait anglers.  For the lure anglers, spinnerbaits accounted for a few fish around the structure.  Blades also worked quite well in the main basin.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam remains much the same with most anglers having the weekend off due to the poor weather conditions.  We received reports of a couple of fish being landed over the weekend.  These fish were landed on saltwater yabbies off the bank towards the dam wall. 

MOOGERAH/MAROON DAM: Anglers fishing Maroon early into this week saw some good results.  There were plenty of small Bass landed on Jackalls, Piranhas, Blades and Soft Plastics.  Most of the fish were landed along the weed edges.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is flowing once again with the rainfall received over the weekend.  This has changed the clarity of the water yet again, making it difficult for the lure anglers in particular.  Anglers reported a few legal sized Golden Perch being landed to the west of Warwick.  Both the Mill Hole and Scots Weir proved to be the most successful spots in town to try.

FISHING REPORT - 3/2/2015

PRODUCT REVIEW

Imakatsu Aventa Crawler: Special Crawler Bait for super dead-slow retrieving.

The biggest feature of Aventa Crawler is to maintain the good action for long time with super slow retrieving.

The figure which struggle like a drowning by raising his hands from the water with strange sounds, imagine Zombie (WALKING DEAD).

Aventa Crawler is good at switching on the instinct of big Bass having strong territory consciousness, and making him attacked by intimidation.

Keeping a rod in vertical and line above water (around 14lbs line), Aventa Crawler shall be made forward by slacked line weight. If you retrieve in same course many times, Aventa Crawler drives big Bass mad and he bite!

FISHING REPORT - 13/1/2015

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam anglers have commented on things being a little slower over the past week.  There were still quality Golden Perch landed on a variety of lures.  Most of the fish being sounded were sitting in approximately 7 to 12 feet of water so shallow lures were more successful.  The bait anglers had success around the big rocks opposite the dam wall as well as up near the Black Boys.  We also received reports of 2 legal sized Murray Cod landed over the weekend with the biggest fish measuring 97cm.  This lovely fish was landed on an Aussie 200, with the other one falling to a green and black Hydrobug. 

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam was also a little steady with not too many reports of legal sized fish being landed.  One local angler managed to land a legal sized Murray Cod on a purple spinnerbait from a kayak.  There were also a few Silver and Golden Perch landed off the bank on live worms.

MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON: Moogerah Dam has slowed a little with anglers having best success while trolling lures in approximately 15 feet of water in and around the timber.  One angler reported landing some fish while casting OSP High Pitchers along the points up towards the back of the dam.

RIVER AND CREEKS: The rivers and creeks around the Warwick area have started to clear up but numbers of legal sized fish haven't been huge.  Spinnerbaits have accounted for a few fish mainly due to their vibration.  We received reports of a legal sized Murray Cod being landed in the Murrays Bridge area.  There were also a few fish landed in the Mill Hole on Piranhas.  One local angler landed 2 nice Golden Perch on saltwater yabbies near Tiddalik.

Fishing Report - 6/1/2015

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam has improved over the past week or so, with some quality Golden Perch being landed on a variety of lures.  Anglers had success while trolling TN60 Jackalls up towards the back of the dam.  There were also plenty of fish landed in the main basin.  One local angler had success on a Live Target Bait Ball lure, landing a 50cm Golden Perch as well as a legal sized Murray Cod.  We also had one local angler land a magnificent 94cm Murray Cod on a Jackall Pompadour off the bank. 

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly has also improved with anglers reporting on some nice fish over the holiday period.  There were two quality Murray Cod landed on spinnerbaits, both going well over 80cm.  There were also some nice Golden Perch landed on worms. 

MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON: The Bass at Moogerah are on the move, with tail spinners and spinnerbaits working well in the timbered area.  OSP High Pitchers proved to be very successful over the past few weeks. 

RIVER AND CREEKS: Our local rivers and creek systems have also produced some nice fish over the holiday period.  One local angler landed some quality Golden Perch in the Condamine in Warwick on hard body lures.  Anglers landed some lovely Golden Perch on Hydrobugs in the Stanthorpe area.  There were also some magnificent fish landed in the Ballandean area on purple Stumpjumpers.  Once the water clarity improves, the lure action will start to fire.  Exciting times ahead!!! 

PRODUCT REVIEW 

The Jackall Pompadour is a walking topwater bait that mimics small amphibians, birds and large bugs as they crawl along the surface.  The Pompadour is engineered with metal wings that collapse as the lure is cast through the air and flare out upon hitting the water's surface. As you work the lure back to the boat, you'll be amazed at the manner in which this lure moves - it's is really quite astonishing how realistic its movements look.

The Jackall Pompadour creates a dual action as it is retrieved across the water's surface. Not only is it going side to side or splashing around, it's actually rolling as it wobbles back to the angler. The Pompadour creates a noticeable wake along the surface and it's rattle chambers inside are just another added bonus that creates an extra level of attraction.

PRODUCT REVIEW

OSP High Pitcher Spinnerbait: Highpitcher spinnerbaits offer the very best in spinnerbait design and performance. The compact design of the highpitcher means it casts beautifully and is also perfectly suited to Australian conditions.

Top quality blades spin faster than others on the market. Allowing these spinnerbaits to be fished slower. Thinner, stronger wire transmits vibration better making the whole spinnerbait vibrate for a more realistic presentation. Add to this top quality skirts held in place with wire means these are durable as well as highly effective.

Available in an array of weights and colours these are perfect for every scenario and will see you catching bass while others around you are struggling!
