queensland Sara Popped My Cherry

Hopefully the heading isn't too misleading..

Scored my first toga land based at NPD this week, on a little Chartruese spinner-bait slow rolled/hopped along the bottom, she went 70cm tip to tail. The two fellas I was with both scored 40cm+ tilapia. 

We saw a kayak in the section of the dam which I thought was zero-access.. have the rules changed?

Anyway, here's the photo

Very nice! Love Toga... One of my favourite Australian fish. Any bass?

I doubt the rules have changed

Rules haven't changed.

Some yakers think rules don't apply to them.

If the facilities are completed on time, by mid 2018 paddlecraft only access will be available from Forgans Cove.

Great capture by the way. Togas are becoming a regular capture in NPD.

No bass. They weren't really the prime target as my mate fishes at the spot regularly and it's uncommon for him not to get hook multiple toga in a session. In all honesty, as we fished the top quarter of the water column we were not really a shot a bass. 

@Luc53 thanks mate.

Wowsers what a cracker!!!! Toga are on my list of fish I need to catch.  Its a loooong list haha but I'm glad as it will be lots of fun crossing them off. 

Glad you popped your apricot. or some stone fruit

Caught me out - I thought you either weren't with Tika anymore or were extremely brazen .........   Congrats on an awesome toga mate, great stuff. Landbased presumably?

[Luke Landrunner]

What a great specimen to get off the mark.

Nothing better than feeling that dead stop in your retrieve

 

Nice one mate. I've caught a few in Lake K but not in NPD yet,  although I've seen a few big girls cruisin'.

This comment gave me a good laugh! Yes all landbased, with the water being so high at the moment it made for a reaaaally challenging walk. Head high grass, knee depth water, etc. No snakes or ticks somehow

Very nice fish mate. There are some beauties cruising around in there.
