queensland Day On The Burdekin Dam..

[Angry51]

Hi all, Went redclawing on the dam,

pretty rough the wind was blowing a bit, was pretty choppy going

across the middle.

Only got 11 for overnight soak, but good enough for a chew.

Plenty of terrorists around, must of been up to 10 boats in the

morning, hit something under the water, 40 feet deep, so assumed

it was a floating log, damaged prop a bit.

Anyhow it keeps one out of the pub, and it's always good out on the water.

      Cheers

       Gary.

Some decent sized ones there....Yum !

[Angry51]

They were yummy.

Ann split the tails down the middle filled them with cheese and bacon and

oven cooked them.

Very yummy, can still taste them.

Thanks.

I've been to the Burdekin Dam once and it's certainly a large piece of brown water.

Also quite a shallow and can get very rough. Didn't catch many fish but the redclaws more than compensated.

Yum. love red claw. I normally pan fry them in butter and garlic...

Hey where can I buy some of those opera house type traps with the fine mesh?

I only have the larger mesh sized ones.

Oh and a side note. A mate of mine uses rock melon as bait for Redclaw. He thinks it out fishes all other baits. I will try it soon

Dropbear, I just get the black ones at the local

tackle shop. they are a couple $'s more than the green one's but are better

quality, about $14.95 I think.

Tried rockmelon and did pretty good with it, but depends if one can get it here,

nearest shop is nearly 90klm's away so can't be choosy, just use dried cat food.

 Hope this helps.

   Cheers

  Gary.
