Baroon Pocket Dam Montiville.

[Angus]

Would anyone be keen for a Sunday trip up to Baroon Dam sometime soon. It only takes 1 hour and fiftenn and its stocked with Bass, Yellowbelly and Mary river Cod. Natually occuring you have Spangled perch, Eel tailed Catties and eels.

Las ttime i was there you could see fish everywhere. And people were catching plenty of decent Spangels although not many people were fishing. Its a kick ass setting anyway for a chilled out lake day. Nice and green as well. Has better scenic value in my opinion than say Wyvanhoe.

hey angus, give me enough notice and i'd definetly be up for it. I'v never fished there but sounds good. Are we talking boating or landbased?

[Angus]

Mate land based many many option with numerous creek mouths etc to fish. Lots of drops off as well.

I will take my Shrimp traps, but will also try some SP's for the larger guys like bass and yellows. Knowing the way Spangled Perch smash hard bodies as well and as they are prolific in there this would also be likely.

Troy and Mat are keen for this as well so we could a sweet day of it.

Cheers.

Angus.

[BIG DAVE 1]

me too ando my sister gota decent one at moogerah once, Im going up to noosa for 2 weeksin nseptember so im going to try it out when im up there.. only lures but, cause luresw kick ass!!!!

[BIG DAVE 1]

mate i lover getting my hands dirty, i was a bait person for the last 14 years, ive just found lures catch bigger better fish.

[Angus]

Yeah will do Feral.

And yeah i was aware no lead.

I have seen a few decent bass caught there. And wouldnt mind a 45cm specimen! But yeah i think with a small impoundment like that we shouild be encouraging C&R.

[Angus]

Mate more than looking forward to the reports on thoise trips.

Yeah a cod might take a pilly.

One of the big freshwater eels is a fair bet as well!

does anyone want to go for a day trip up there on the holidays? im keen to go up there for a fish. Ive been told that spinner baits are very effective there while fishing the banks.
