Help for North Pine newbie

[yellahunter]

Can anyone give me some advice on where to park and fish as ive never been there before,

From recent reports spinnerbaits look the go hey..?

also are the yellas being caught in amongst the bass or in different areas..?

Thanks heaps, hopefully il have a report for you soon

Mate you may want to link into a trip with some other AFO'ers.

I know for example there are a couple of groups going p sunday.

NP is like many places though.

Its just a matter of walking the banks.

One day one place will be red hot, the next day another will be. My advice would be to cover ground until you find a school.

Good luck!

Sound advice from Angus id just add that today we found the bass to be schooling out deeper and got the yellas in ab out a foot of water hard in the grass

Hi Ben, just try to walk along the bank. This seems to be what many fishos do although I myself stay in one place and sit for hours waiting for fish to come. Hehe.

For parking and stuff, I think you'll find this link quite helpful: http://www.australianfishing.com.au/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=237&func=view&id=115794&catid=23&limit=20&limitstart=40

Also, you may want to post on the "Going Fishing" section where you can link up with guys going there tomorrow.

Hope this helps.

I'm going to be there tomorrow early as well, will be plenty of us around. Just look for the 45 year old glaring at the 10 year old catching fish, that will be me!

[Feral]

[fishyman]

Nah, just cause I'm a wuss and don't want to wade barefoot like Lee:laugh: . But also I lost a nice Bass trying to drag it through the grass last weekend. Plus it seems that a parallel to the shore presentation would be more effective and you can't really do that whilst casting over big clumps of Grass.

[kevinchen19870316]

i think dan want the waders to stay clear from the grass. it's pretty hard to land a fish on light gear without getting wet.

[Dan23]

What time do they shut the gates there? Do they actually lock you in so you can't get your car out??

[Feral]

Not sure of time Dan, and yes they lock the gate.

[fishyman]

how far away is the gate?

if we just park outside the gate then walk to the dam or is that not an option. dont wanna have the car locked in

I was thinking the same thing Fishyman. Just park out on the street or something near Forgans

[Dinodadog]

They usualy come around just after dark, if any cars still inside they blow the horn, then you have a couple of mins to get your car and get out before being locked in. Best Idea get out before dark.

Thanks Dino

much appreciated

[MichaelJ]
