THERE have been some good shows of yellowbelly at Cooby Dam this past week.
Fishing in the deeper water towards the buoy line, jigging ZX40s and soft Jackalls have been working really well.
A lot of anglers have had great success off the bank using saltwater yabbies and live worms.

It’s been a very tough week at Somerset, with fish very spread out.
Fishing close to the bottom is where you will have the most success.
Ice jigs and blades have been the lure of choice with spoons and tail spinners still producing results as well.
Wivenhoe dam
Wivenhoe has been the exact opposite to Somerset this week with great reports of big bass getting caught off the edges all throughout the day, .

Fishing shallower banks with deeper weed should see you land good fish.

Glenlyon dam
Anglers are starting to see a few more cod getting pulled from Glenlyon this week with the weather cooling down.
The bite period has definitely been early mornings with top water and swimbaits.
During the day trolling the creek bed coming off points in the main basin has produced good action as well.
For the yellowbelly anglers fishing tight to structure with ZX40’s and soft vibes will get you a bag limit.
