Great numbers on the bite at Cressbrook, Boondooma

- with Kris George from Fish ‘n’ Bits Bait & Tackle

COOBY DAM

COOBY Dam this week has slowed down a little with a few reports of fish being landed.

Early morning seems to be the pick of the bite times.

Anglers with saltwater yabbies are having the best success. Jigging ZX blades is another good option.

CRESSBROOK DAM

THERE’S still some great reports from Cressbrook this week.

The Cressbrook Creek arm of the dam has been the pick of the spots, fishing hot bite tailspinne­rs and Jackall Mask Vibes have been getting the better fish, while for the bait fisherman live shrimp and worms have worked well.

BOONDOOMA DAM

SOME good reports from Boondooma have filtered through this past week.

Fishing areas such as Leezagangs Ledge, Barbers Pole and the Boyne arm of the dam have seen big numbers of fish.

Spoons, tailspinne­rs and blades have definitely been the pick of the lures.

COPETON DAM

WITH the rise in water level we’ve seen most fish move further up onto

freshly flooded banks.

Jackall Gantarels and larger mumblers have picked up most fish.

Targeting the predominan­t points in the main basin have seen good reports of fish as well.

LESLIE DAM

THIS week at Leslie has been a bit quieter.

Anglers with saltwater yabbies have been having the most success, while jigging ZX blades is another great option.

In around the washpool and the black boys towards the back of the dam has been the best place.

GOLD COAST

INSHORE most anglers

have been targeting the tailor and big jew fish.

Fishing after dark has been most successful using a large amount of burley and lightly weighted bait.

Areas from Crab Island through to Sovereign Island have regularly spotted tailor while the Seaway has been the best spot for the jew.

Offshore has been

amazing with many keen anglers catching yellowtail kingfish and amberjack on jigs or bottom bashing for snapper, pearlies and many other nice reef fish.

While we have had exceptiona­l weather and there has been plenty of days to head outside why not take advantage of it now.
