[kriso]

[Rocket75]

very solid bass and bream there, congrats on all the PB's fellas.:cheer:

Almost up to the 50cm mark, I wonder how big the Bass are in there? Anyone seen a 50+ come from there yet?

Rocket

[Malcolm]

Nice fish boys. It's pretty handy how them big Bream have a finger grip

[Rocket75]

Another Q: are they mainly taking on the troll or are you casting at them? (excluding the surface one!)

[Feral]

very good fish there fella's congrats on some good catches

[Mack_attack]

We've talked to a guy who had got a 54cm bass out of there;) and both on the troll and casting:)

Does anyone know if it is stocked?

[pinkey]

Im pretty sure a few of them are or were wild, but most of them are now stocked.

good fishing guys.

[Mack_attack]

Plenty of shore based access. You may have to push through weeds.Just do a bit of research on the site and locations will be revealed.

Cheers

You guys are nailing it consistently very good fish there congrats on some good catches

[Angus]

Dam!

As soon as I can get some free time id love to hit up this spot with some of the crew...

Angus

[cpetrie]

really nice catches guys.

makes me want to get a yak even more.

[Cowfish13]

Cheers for the replys guys:cheer:

We stoked with the quality of fish we can get out of there

Rocket: About half casting, half trolling. Good feeling either way. Get to feel the fish smash the lure when casting, or hear the rod bouncing in the holder (for baitcast), or the scream of a threadline drag:woohoo:

Malcolm: I know what you mean. A bream that size is so much easier to hold than one around 25cm

Again thanks guys:)

Thanks to the hard work of the Australian Bass Association this area has been heavily stocked for the past 3-4 years...and the permit allows for another 2 years.

30,000 (roughly) fingerlings are ready to go in after Christmas, so with any luck, if the meat-fishos dont clean them out, this area will become an even better fishery then what it is now.

Take em a long time to "clean em out" two at a time!

Always great to see a stocking group in action. If it wasn't for them, we would be a lot worse off for somewhere to fish!

Just need to get some more salt water ones active!

(Yes I am a member of 3 groups, active in one!)
