Well done!
Have not heard of much action out that way for a while, nice to see a few getting caught.

Well done Bryan. Sometimes I wonder how Golden Perch get their name, then you see one like in your first picture and it shows how bright their color can get.

Way to go. They are some nice cod.
I fished Glen Lyon recently from the boat but had no idea where to fish / what techniques and all we managed was a yella in the 40s.

This Dam looks like it holds a few great catches! I might have to go on a bit of a road trip to suss it out. Can you let me know what style/ size lure you caught the cod on and what techniques? I've only caught Bass in the Brissy river. :thanks

  The lure was a new one(bigger size) of mine that i was testing, the smaller 70 mm has got me, bass/ yellas/ cod from the dams and the rivers the new size of lure is 90 mm made for casting, you can still troll it, i got a few yellas trolling, but all the cod where from casting, the techniques that i use are, crank hard for 4 to 5 turns on the reel, pause for a second, slow too medium retrieve with a few pauses and twiches, sometimes i`ll just retrieve slow, the lure is called "NORUM" and the 70/90 mm have been getting me a lot of fish of late, the 120 mm i`ll be testing soon, cheers Bryan.
