land based sommerset

[BIG DAVE 1]

hey guys im fishing landbased at sommerset dam for a few days in september before i go to noosa, im staying on the water in cabins i have no idea were but. Im going to use lures and baits see what i can russel up, Im also keen to chase some redclaw crays. does anyone know any productive lures when fishing dams land based?

Dave try Spinnerbaits, Boomerangs and the lure i had most success on, Poltergistes.

Some people say land based is not worth the trouble. But then all the fish seem to be caught of points and similar structure anyway. Easily within casting range.

So good luck.

I sure you should be able to get a few fish.

As for Redclaw, Amart sells the traps cheap as.

Just check them into a weed bed and you will get some. Used to get them all the time in wyvanhoe this way.

Good fishing.
