The redclaw's natural range includes the Gulf of Carpentaria Drainage Division and from the Jacky Jacky River basin south to the Normanby River basin on the east coast of Queensland. Within that range, there is a possession limit of 40 but no size limit. Outside that range there is no size or possession limit as they are not considered "native".

Always use double lock snaps as it's easy to add a swivel of your choice. Makes changing lures super easy.

Great photos, reminds me of trips up the Herbert River Gorge many years ago. -
I regularly catch Bass with the cranka crabs.
-
Goldens are a more regular catch due to stocking of 145,000 in 2015/16 with smaller numbers (25,000) in the next 3 years. 2019/20 saw another 92,000 go in. http://prfma.com.au/info/fish-stocking-programs/

His member's name is "rayke1938". Do a search for "redclaws" and plenty of his posts in "Freshwater"

No hunting allowed. When required, Seqwater uses a contractor to cull the deer. Re the pots, at 4 per person it doesn't long to built up numbers. For some reason, people seems to think that the best place to put pots in is where others put theirs!! I mean, it stands to reason that if there's lots of pots in one area, there must be plenty of shrimps there too

Deformed bass, sometimes known as a stumpy. Occasionally get one like that from NPD.
-
I used the Yucatan knot for braid to leader. Never had problems and easy to tie when you're in a hurry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oduP-Z0BH5o PS, I don't melt the ends
-
Unfortunately, current "Full capacity" is 68% till Seqwater get the NPD dam improvements done.

You're allowed to leave the petrol outboard attached, but not allowed to use them.
-
Bloody bass, just won't do social distancing!!
-
Looks like the ramp's getting shallow.
-
Slowly fell by the wayside due to reduced demand for the rainbows. The over the top OH&S requirements required by the council bureaucracy before allowing access to the site finally ended it.

Not much more than a car length.

I've been left hand reeling since I started fishing 50+ years ago. Other than a couple inherited baitcasters, all my reels including Alvey are left hand winders. Easiest way to get proficient with left hand cranking is to practice winding while watching TV.

Hi Greg, no fuel powered engine allowed on NPD at all. Electric powered crafts allowed for PRFMA boating access permit holders (see http://prfma.com.au/info/boating-access-scheme/ ) For other SeqWater dams see https://www.seqwater.com.au/locations-and-guides

It varies across various dams. On some electric only dams, you can leave your outboard on as long as you don't use it eg Lake MacDonald. Some dams have horsepower restriction and speed limit eg no engine over 60 Hp / 6 knots on Lenthals Dam. Somerset Dam has no restriction on outboard size & speed whereas Wivenhoe Dam has a speed restriction of 6 knots. It pays to do your homework before visiting a dam.
-
Given the size of NPD, you might get laughted off if you could launch your boat there (electrics only, no outboards attached). Mind you it wouldn't be out of place on a dam like Awoonga Lake near Gladstone.

Hweebe, have a look at the PRFMA website, heaps of info. http://prfma.com.au/articles/

Bass breed during the winter months. So at this time of year, bass (including those in impoundments) get ready to breed. Females in particular can put on some serious weight as their eggs are developing and can feed quite aggressively. Since they need acces to brackish water to breed, after a couple of months the females will reabsorb their eggs and the males their milt. When they're ready to breed, it's not unsual to have the males leaking milt when you bring them into the boat.

Nice day, but maybe too glassy for a good edge bite.
