Land Based North Pine Dam (Lake Samsonvale)

[Jords]

[img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/dec0204_030.jpg I have heard that MacGavins View is one of the better land-based spots that aren't too hard to access. I drove down there with mum and couldnt see anyway to get down to the dam itself. information would be great because i am like 10 mins away at samford. Also what tackle should be used. I have a few TT spinnerbaits and plenty of softplastics but havent actually caught much on them.

All help would be terrific. Thanks mates.

Cheers :cheer: :cheer:

P.S - Are there any 'toga in samsonvale cause i caught some in borumba and i am hooked - u shuld all go up and try the tons of dead timber in there

Holy snapping Toga man - nice way to welcome yourself to the site.

What till the guys see that tomorrow - you are goig to be the most popular user for a while.:laugh:

By the way - Welcome and hope you enjoy the site.:cheer:

Have you got anymore shots like that?

No boats what so ever on north pine dam at the momment. I know this cause Ray is on line during the day - when you notice tht Ray is not on line during the day it's a sure bet that will be when they let boats on again.:woohoo:

It is a TT Vortex in colour VO 12

[Jords]

thats not half of it - i caught three that day aswell as many bas. Between myself, Mark Pertot and my uncle we landed 30+ legal bass plus my 3 toga

That is the only shot but i have it all on video 'cause we were shooting - i don't even have a copy of it i had to get it off davo's bait and tackle site

There are toga in sampsonvale but only in small numbers as they are very expensive for the stocking group to buy. Two years ago they transposed several from Barumba to a holding dam near the quarry in an effort to establish a breeding stock.

yeah - i was looking to buy sum for a small dam we had but

a - they r way too expensive and

b - the dam is now bone dry and cracked up

[Guest IcEkNiGhT]

hrmmms i know a place in kallangur that hold small toga me and a mate caught 2 one morning. its a small creek just befor you come to petrie on the left near what i think is a bmx track? anyone know of the place im talking about?

[Jords]

Is there like a picnic area - it is quite possibly Youngs crossing - not too sure it could really be anywhere - there are heaps of different creeks coming of lake samsonvale

Try to find a street address and i will c if i can help

[Guest IcEkNiGhT]

its about 8 feet wide the creek and its not youngs crossing its off the main drag. anzac av it starts as but turns into something else i think. when i get back to bris i will look it up and tell you excatly where it is. last time we got a heap of turtles there also in yabbie pots. made some good money selling them

[Jords]

thanks that would be great - i am getting really annoyed at having nowhere to fish - i went to deep water bend but there were only some small bream. It is getting 2 the stage where i want to troll a lure behind our rowing crew boat.
