Fishing Report - Thursday 24th March, 2011
BOAT RAMP ETIQUETTE
This week I thought I would take the opportunity to talk about boat ramp etiquette, with the dams full again and leading up to easter, the boating activity could be fairly busy. To help everyone get their boat in the water there are a few things we all can do to help. Ensure you have your boat ready to launch, don’t park on the ramp and prepare it, most dams have a rigging area, so try and use these. And move your boat away from the ramp to pack it up when taking it out of the water, and remember to be patient, not everyone can back a boat as good as we all like to think we can.
COOBY DAM
Cooby is still a bit quiet, and is mainly producing Jew and Yellowbelly on bait, with the best bait being, live shrimp, live worms and saltwater yabbies.
CRESSBROOK DAM
With the ordinary weather on the weekend there hasn’t been to many reports, but there have been a few Bass caught on soft plastics around the edges of the dam, and some good catches of Redclaw There has been a small inflow into the dam, so take care as there is some debris about.
LAKE SOMERSET
The dam is still unsettled, but there has been some small catches of Bass caught trolling and casting lures around the Pelican Point area of the dam, and there have been plenty of Redclaw caught throughout the dam.
BOONDOOMA DAM
The fishing is still a bit tough, there have been a few Bass caught on SMAK spinnerbaits right up the back of the Boyne and Stuart arms of the dam. Try spinnerbaits around the points for yellowbelly and there are still plenty plenty of Redclaw being caught, with dog sausage and dry dog food still the best bait.
BJELKE PETERSON DAM
Still quiet, but it’s worth a try with spinnerbaits and Jackalls around the points in the main bay and the back reaches of the dam for Yellowbelly and Bass, and there are still good numbers of Redclaw being caught.
LESLIE DAM
Has quietened a bit, but there are still some nice Yellowbelly being caught on trolled lures, live shrimp and frozen saltwater yabbies off the banks.

The river near town is still a bit quiet, however there have been a few Cod taken upstream of Texas in the Dumeresque River.
