Nice bretto makes me wanna go back there

It is amazing the amount of fish in there. A mate caught a 4kg GT in there the other week too whilst fishing for bass. It is such a lucky dip.

Fantastic session Bretto, makes me wonder at the size of the lure some fish will take. If that had been a real bait fish the bream probably would have choked on it!

Quote from fitzy on another site.

The Australian Bass Association formed a management plan a couple of years ago for CIW. Prior to that there were some wild fish.

There are very few locations in Australia that have a natual population of wild bass.

I don't know alot about bass but do they live in salt water aswell? or was the bream in the fresh?

probably a stupid question but im curious:lol:

Not a stupid question at all!

They live in the fresh mainly and move towards the salt water to spawn (breed). That's why landlocked fresh or impoundment bass can not breed.

Bugger I was tossing up between there and Hinze this morning and I went to Hinze for only 3 rat bass.

That would have been a session to remember. Congrats on the new PB

Mack Attack- I usually launch at the dog park on the robina parkway and is very yak friendly.

badboygibbo- The bream make their way into the lakes via the lock. I have also caught flathead near the lock in the brackish water too. The bass may be breeding as they can exit & enter via the lock through to the salt too breed.

My mate is going to start tagging the bass soon so we might find out.

Do$tylz- Not sure if I am heading out that way on the weekend as I might be chasing giant herring and tarpon around but if I am going on saturday I will drop you a PM.

The Australian Bass Association has been stocking these waters with Australian Bass for about 3-4 years now and will continue to do so for at least another 2. There was a small original population in Mudgeeraba Creek, but most of the fish caught in there now would be a direct result of our stocking efforts.

There is already a tagging program being run on these waters by us, the Australian Bass Association. May I ask who this 'mate' is!?

But on a side note, on our recent taggins session the biggest Bass caught was 42cm and I also boated a 44cm Bream. There is some great fishing in there!

It is my mate who fishes there regularly every week land based. He is not part of the ABA but I will let him know that there is already a tagging program in place and he may get in contact for more info.

There must have been a population of fish in the area for quite some time or a recent influx of fish from hinze whilst it was overflowing as we have caught about twenty fish in the high forties over the past few weeks and also two over 50 with the best at 51.5 off the surface.
