mate we only gotr afew redclaw over the weekend around 100 but all quite big. best bait by far was the rock melon. their were heaps of fish showing on the sounder around islands and points while we were doing the pots. my advise would be to go during the week as the boating traffic is hecktic or try going as far away from boat ramps as possible.

if you are looking for a really good dam to fish that produces good bass, yellas, silvers and alot of toga and you dont need to travle far to get into them is borumba dam

O true, i don't know much about borumba, where is there to camp and is there a ramp to launch there?

yeh mate, their is a camp site their and it is a great atmospher. the grounds keepers are always wondering around looking for a chat. the boat ramp is a 3 or 4 lane ramp with cleanong table.

drop in some shrimp traps as well for a back up bait. their are millions of trees to choose from, along with overhanging lantarna that the toga love sitting under and their is heaps and heaps of weed beds and lillie pads around the dam also.

this is a basic layout

red indecates trees

green weed beds

their is also yappa creek directly behind the camp ground and if you have a yak can follow it for miles and mile and it produces some hard dirty fighting bass

Hey mate what type of lures have use been using on the toga up there, if I'm gunna go up I wanna have half an idea what im doin. And also mite be a stupid question but are power boats aloud on the dam or just electrics?

[madmullet]

you are allowed power boats mate.

as for the toga, spinnerbaits, are the most popular but if a toga is hungry, they will hit anything. if you are willing to put i the time, go surface lures, i love seeing a toga hit surface lures.
