queensland Somerset Dam 18/10/08

[Feral]

Well hit the water at 6am, lots of fog, but not much in the line of fish.

I managed one ambitious yella, 40cm, on a cod lure, and that was it for the day. Sorry about the crook pic, but el cheapo mobile was the only camera I had with me.

The locals cleaned up on silver Perch and Tandanus on worms, and a couple of others Yella's were caught, best going 3.9kg, and about 60cm. Looked like a soccer ball with a head and tail!

Wind got up around 10ish, the drift was fast enough I could troll.

Sounds good to me mate, a yella beats the hell out of a fish less trip;)

How did the boys go or didn't ya take them?

Just took Alex, he slept the first half of the trip, then grumped for the second half. He put a lure in the water for about 5 minutes after I caught the yella, that was it.

thats one yella, yella..nice one feral...were there any size to the silver perch you saw?

[Feral]

Oh yeah, the silvers the locals get are huge (for silvers) ones weighed in were between 1.5 and 2.5kg. They reckon they dont like bait when they get that big, well the locals dont have any trouble convincing them to bite on garden worms!

I'm going to follow the locals next comp! and the missus' vegie garden is going to get a free dig!

You can get them at NPD on the garden worms too, well done on the yella at least you are on the board now for that area.
