FISHING REPORT – 07-02-2013
DAM INFORMATION UPDATE
The below information was current as of Wednesday 6th
February 2013.
Cooby and Cressbrook Dams are currently closed to all activities;
there is still no access to Cressbrook Dam from the New England Highway, but
Mount Jockey Road has been re-opened.
Somerset and Moogerah Dams are still closed, due to
debris throughout the dam, the picnic area at Somerset is open, Wivenhoe and
Maroon are open to all water based activities.
Bjelke Peterson Dam is currently about 400mm over the
spillway, but is still open and with the water being dirty, it is fairly quiet
as far as the fishing goes. Boondooma Dam is about 100mm over the spillway and
is currently open to water based activities, however there is a lot of debris
in the dam and the camping areas are closed due to flood damage and like Bjelke
Peterson the inflow of water has shut the fishing down.
As far as the Barra impoundments go, Awoonga Dam is
500mm over the spillway and Monduran is still 1.5m over the spillway.
Glenlyon, Leslie and Coolmunda Dams are open and
accessible, and are your best bet, if you want to wet a line this weekend.
Yellowbelly have been a bit harder to catch at
Glenlyon this week, there are still a few around, with bait bringing in the
most fish. Cod are still reasonably active, and again bait has attracted the
most fish, however there was a nice 17kg fish hooked on a trolled Oar-Gee lure
last weekend.
At Leslie Dam, the Yellowbelly are still biting, bait
seems to be the go at the moment, with live Shrimp and frozen Saltwater Yabbies
working well throughout the dam, while worms have produced some decent catches
for the land based anglers.
As far as the rivers go, the Dumeresq, Macintyre and
Condamine have still got a run in them, as well as being pretty dirty. The
Ballone at St.George has risen to a minor flood level, but there are still a
few Yellowbelly being caught on bait.
Offshore fishing has been very quiet since the extreme
weather event last week, while inshore, the estuary system has a lot of debris
through it at the moment, so you need to be careful when boating, from the Pin
right through to the Nerang River. As far as the fishing goes, Bream are about in
good numbers, a few Jacks are showing up around the bridges, the odd Whiting on
the sand flats and there are plenty of Muddies at the mouth of the Coomera
River.
SUNSHINE COAST
Offshore fishing has seen good numbers of Black
Marlin, Wahoo and Dolphin Fish out wide and the water is still a bit dirty
around the inner reefs, which has kept them fairly quiet, while inshore fishing
on the southern end of the coast has been restricted to Kawana Lake, where
there has been a few Trevelly and Jacks about, and the Noosa River has produced
some decent Bream, Flathead and Trevelly on the incoming tide. Again all the
estuaries are still fairly dirty, so the fishing isn’t easy and care needs to
be taken when boating in these areas.
