good evening , might try wivenhoe dam this week end , dose any one know where i could get live shrimp , don t think they have them at BCF , eventualy will set up another aqurium to keep live shrimp that we catch in bait traps. also where are some good spots around the dam ? im thinking away from the camp grounds were its not so noisey.

for redclaw, almost anything will work, boiled spuds, pumkin, sweet potato, melon rind, pilchards, cat n dog food tins with holes punched in, chicken bones, meat, for shrimp, sunlight soap, a pilchard n burley pellets, better results if left over night, however have had few traps had big holes torn in them

My wife and I camped at Logan's three weekends ago, never stayed there before, nice spot.
Perfect conditions apart from a gusty easterly on Saturday arvo, Sunday morning the dam was like glass.
Looking up the dam towards O'sheas Crossing

I couldn't snag a bass, no matter what lure I tried, Jo got a decent yellowbelly on a purple dambuster.
There were big forktails available whenever you wanted a bit of fun and dropped a worm over the side.

Not trying to hijack your thread, but we were pretty impressed by the campgrounds - a few people but
still fairly quiet, and of course no ski boats or jet skis to contend with ;D
