queensland Somerset Trip

[Lozzel]

Going up to Somerset Dam tomorrow to have a go at gettin a BASS. Live shrimp & lures are the go. I hope.

Do you go there much, they say from beams creek mouth to the spit is the best spots to look for bass at the moment

[Lozzel]

Syu; never fished there. Went for a drive the other day toyhe Spit, will put in there . there is a steep bank on the othetr side will try there first.

Where is bream ck ??

[Liquor Box]

can you catch bass at the moment? I thought someone posted that they were breeding so they were out of season.

I am probably far from correct, so i apologize now.

[STU]

still catch them they actually school up deeper and sit near the bottom which some times makes them easier to target but the bass have been a bit of hit and miss lately I've seen them black out my sounder and have thrown everything in my tackle box at them and they wont touch it'you can try casting spinnerbaits or jackalls to the banks in the morning sometimes the big bass move in to the warmer water of the the shallows.

thats right there is a closed season on wild bass at the moment but it doesnt apply to impoundment fish as far as I know. (it doesnt stop oyu catching them just keeping them anyhow)

the steep bank is a good place to start but it is always worth trolling along the river bed of the dam coming off and on it looking for schooled bass sometimes they will be schooled on the flats not far from the river bed.Beams creek is the other side of the spit away from the dam wall there is the first bay which is worth a look across from the hump then keep going to the next bay you will see a creek to your left thats beams creek check around there or keep going up the dam to pelican point it's worth a look to. It's better to spend some time looking for schooled bass once you find them you could get some cricket score catches if your lucky:)

use ultra deep lures that might help when trolling

There is a closed season for Bass in winter, cant remember when, but it does not apply to impoundment bass.

[STU]

yeah thats right feral and if your just catch and release it wont matter anyway

[Feral]

Your not allowed to target closed season fish, so no catch and release targeting of Bass in the Rivers!
