FISHING REPORT – 03-11-2011

DIRRINBANDI CARP BUSTERS

Dirrinbandi was host to the latest Carp Busters Competition last weekend, there was plenty of action for all who attended, with over 3000 Carp landed. There was also about 250 native fish caught and released for the weekend.

BASS

Cressbrook has produced a few Bass over the past week, with most of the fish coming out of schools, on Ice Jigs and Blades.
Boondooma is still fishing well, with good numbers of Bass, up to 46cm landed mainly from the Junction through to the timber in the Boyne arm of the dam. Best methods are casting Spinnerbaits and Jackalls, in dark colours, to the edges, as well as trolling hard body lures, like Strada Ambush and Smak Brolga’s and fishing the start of the timber in the Stuart and Boyne arms with live shrimp and worms is also producing some quality fish.
Bjelke Peterson has again, produced a few undersize Bass on Blades, off the points and Baramba Creek above and below the dam is still producing quality fish in good numbers.
Somerset has quietened a bit over the past week, but there was still some nice Bass up to 2kg taken on Soft Plastics around the Pelican Point area of the dam.
Moogerah Dam produced some healthy fish over the past week, up to 40cm,mainly trolling hard body lures.

Yellowbelly and Cod

Good numbers of Yellowbelly in Boondooma, basically in the same areas that the Bass are, again, the best methods are casting Jackalls and Spinnerbaits to the edges, trolling hard body lures on the drop-offs, and using live Worms and Shrimp at the start of the timber in the Stuart and Boyne arms of the dam.
The Macintyre at Goondiwindi is still producing plenty of Yellowbelly in the town reaches, the river has settled a bit after a rise in levels last week. Best results, using frozen saltwater yabbies, live Shrimp and Crays. There has also been quite a few Carp caught in amongst the Yellowbelly.
