theres some of mine ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Jim_Tait]

his is my best all time Golden - caught on a pink clouser on an 8 wt rod

[Jim_Tait]

This is one of the best fights Ive had with a golden - caught again on a pink clouser but only a 5wt rod.

[yellahunter]

they are some awesome yellas mate,

where were they caught? i cant belie th colours in them

[Jim_Tait]

Murrumbidgee River near Canberra mate - great clearwater river which produces these brilliantly coloured fish. Regards - Jim

[yellahunter]

do u regularly catch them on fly?

have u had much luck with yellas in se qld or nth nsw? if so any tips where to start without a boat

[Jim_Tait]

You can catch them just as about as good on fly as you can catch them on lures as long as you can operate a fly rod in the habitat (bit hard from the bank sometime but rocky rivers are great) - spinner baits would probably outfish flies most times (and most other lures as well, in my opinion!) - havn't chased them much in SE Qld except Borumba? (near Gympie) - more inclined to chase local natives and not a total fan of dam fishing (will still do it when I need a fix!) but have seen some nice ones caught on lures in the upper Stanley River (Brisbane River basin) in beautiful habitat (rainforest river) - and that looked pretty good!

Regards - Jim

[elephrez1]

50 cm caught by exclusive

[elephrez1]

Hey wamjam and yella,

thats exclusive and his yella, I just posted it.

it was caught at maroon.

[Julie_J]

Here's a yella which I caught at Bjelke Petersen one wet day last October. Double hook-up. From memory mine went 54cm & hubby's went 44cm. ;D

Very different fish to the yellas which we catch in central NSW.

[yellahunter]

nice fish julie, hey how r they different to the ones in NSW,?

[Julie_J]

Hi Yellahunter,

the Qld fish are much slimmer & longer than our yellas that we get in the dams down here. Nowhere near as lazy either. The exception being in Glenbawn, where they co-exist with bass. Maybe the bass make them work a bit harder for a feed. :-/

The Northern yellas seem to be much lighter also, rather than our darker ones with the gold colour underneath.

[yellahunter]

is there anywhere you have found that they are easily caught from the banks, as i dont have a boat but love catchin yellas

[Col_J]

G'day Yellahunter,

there's no reason why you can't catch yellas from the bank. Same deal, just that you are working the structure from the opposite side. If money's a problem, get a canoe & you'll have access to the best spots.

The same trip that Julie caught the 54cm yella at BP, we saw an old guy who had at least eleven rods set up on the bank as baited set-lines & we watched him for a half hour until dark & he was working overtime pulling them in & re-baiting lines. There were some bloody nice big yellas among them too & they all went in the boot of his car. We were stunned!

[yellahunter]

geez might have to give it a shot there ey,

ive never been up there as im on the gold coast and its a long way to go should u not get any action from the bank, ive been going to leslie dam where we have manged a few,

where abouts at bp did he get the yellas form the bank?
and what are the camping facilities like there

[scott_b]

Gday yella
Mate if you can get yourself down this way I don,t mind taken you out for a dam fish , can't promise ya a fish but.
wamjam


PS I'm going to Lennox Heads for the longweekend any tips. leaving tomorrow so if you don't read this before then it don't matter.

[Neil_c]

Gday Julie, That's a fine Yella ya got there, bigger than anything I've landed. Col - ever the gentleman, but then Julie does have that special rod ;)

Are you heading up here again soon? Teemburra has been fishing very slow for most but it is starting to get a bit warmer. It should only get better from now......hopefully ::)

Cheers
Neil :)

[staggy]

Ok, this is an old pic but still not a bad fish for brian. We caught it at Cania Dam on a deception shrimp working along a rock wall.

cheers krause

[teeka]

Caught this afternoon at the local lagoon

[scott_b]

Gday
nice looking yella's , here's one from the Gwydir river.
wamjam

[Leo_N.]

Just a bit of interesting information on golden perch. As a few have commented on the very different fish in different parts of the country.

There are three strains of golden perch; one from the Murray-Darling system, one from the Fitzroy-Dawson system and one from the Lake Eyre drainage. The Lake Eyre strain is actually considdered a different species, but hasn't been formerly described yet.

Because most of the fish in impoundments have been stocked from hatcheries, they are generally either Murray-Darling or Fitzroy-Dawson strain.

I am looking to fish for the Lake Eyre strain for some breeding trials that I want to do for work, but don't know anything about the rivers that this species lives in. I am in Townsville, North Qld and know that the Hughenden area has the strain that I am after, but would appreciate a heads-up on likely rivers and how to get to them if anyone out there knows.

PS Sorry about writing this in two separate threads, I stumbled across this thread after creating the last one.

Cheers,
Leo

[alby_14]

Ah good on ya Gidgets 7 year old :)

Nice fish

Cheers

IBBO

[scott_b]

Congrats to young gidget!!!
thats a great lookin yella , cast and retrieve seems to be a lot more satisfying when you hook up, especially when you coax them out of there hole.
wamjam

[bdowdy]

:)congrats nick thats a great yella and have to agree with wamjam its better when you actually coax them from there hidi holes. cheers bdowdy ;)

[scott_b]

Gday bdowdy
How's the fish coaxing going ???. I went out to the dam today and through lures for about five hrs , had a shocker , not a touch!! , spose you get that on these big jobs.
Think I'll cope wamjam ;)

[bdowdy]

;)
hi wamjam i went to glenlyon the other week and fished for hours and got 1 cod at 52cm the water is way cold the warmest was 15 degrees. but the rain weve been getting may fire them up a bit. as you said you just never know what may be following that next cast ,so big hours in big jobs exactly. one thing i have noticed is the wattle trees already starting to flower,dont know about over your way but it means that the bass and cod start to fire over our way. talk soon cheers bdowdy ;)

[hardb8]

G'day,
This is my P.B. Yella,Caught and released at Lake Samsonvale casting from the bank.Not a monster at 49cm but a satisfying fish all the same.

Regards hardb8 ;)

[Tim_01]

Hey everyone,
this is my first post! ;D. These 3 fish were some of the many caught while camped at Welord National Park, near Windorah in 2004. From top to bottom; a yellowbelly, a Barcoo Grunter and an eel-tailed cattie. Not my biggest golden but still put up a good fight!, caught on live shrimp and rump steak lol.

[Kendall249]

I'm going to catch one of those one day, along with many other species ;D.

[TroyJ]

Here is my 1st and only YB . I am new to fresh water fishing and got this guy on my 1st successfull trip to North pine dam .. He was about 50cm

Troy

[Canoedle]

Hmm, those North Pine yellas are very healthy looking, no sign of the sores that they get up in Wivenhoe.

[mod5]

[gordonk2005]

Not that big but freshly caught last weekend at Leslie dam :)

[Canoedle]

My new PB yella from Somerset, 55cms ;D and the other is 46cms, a good session for me. ;)

[shayned]

Yak looks good mate, off course it could be the couple of accessories you fitted up on the nose that sets it off. ;D

[Canoedle]

Thanks Shayne, I tried to get them to stand up on their Pecs, but no luck. ::)

[hardb8]

My partner in crime caught his P.B. Yella today on a Ghost Black Red Belly Mask Vib 60.Biggest Yella either of us have seen in the flesh.A real nice fish,Which we estimated at around 10 lb.It's lenght was 61cm.

[hardb8]

Finally found the pick of my best.This fish has raised the bar on my personal tally to a 55cm P.B. 8-)

[Scot]

Got this one on Sunday, 63cm CC Vic

[bdowdy]

:)thats one solid yella :o

[yellahunter]

nice yellas guys,

has anyone ever caught a yella in Hinze Dam,
ive been fishing there for ages now and have never seen one, they are apparently in there but you dont hear of them.

be interested to see what colour shade they are in there

[stokesy_86]

npd yella caught by a mate.

[Hardb8]

Hi Yella fans,
Raised the bar on my P.B. again today.Not once but twice within half a dozen casts :) .The first was 60,Big and fat.It was a fair whack bigger than my previous best at 55.And after being measured,And a couple of quick shots taken,It was released.

Four or five casts later,I'm up tight again,With good weight and some solid head shakes through the rod.It lacked the speed of a Bass,But surley not?It comes in to veiw and Kyle states "It's bigger than the last...It's a giant" LOL.This fish was also quickly measured,Stretching the tape to 62,And gave me the Big Belly title ;D .Kyle was the previous title holder at 61.And he measured my fish so there was no stretching the tape.After a couple more quick shots,It too was released.To say I was stoked would be an understatment.A very satisfying fish to catch.

[yellahunter]

nice yellas hardb8.

is that nth pine mate, also what lure did u get them on

[Hardb8]

Thanks Hunter,
They were both caught on a Mask Vib 60.Reposted Kyles' P.B. below at 61 as all the pics have dissapeared :( .

hi fitzy do they get many yellas there compared to forkys and bass, and what sort of lure is that. cheers bdowdy.

[TIMMY 666]

Here's one from a farm dam I stocked, caught in January. I'll be going for another fish there soon and I'll post another report. ;D It was 33cm.

Gday all

Theres some nice fish there guys

Cheers Chillers

[Fitzy]

hi fitzy do they get many yellas there compared to forkys and bass, and what sort of lure is that. cheers bdowdy.
G Day mate,
Do ok on the yellas there at times. I've pretty much worked out how to avoid the forkies there, so in my case I get more yellas than forkies, mostly bass tho.

That lure is a gold, 35 or 45 grams Spanyid slug (cant remember) but its the one that won me the BASS Electric Grand Final there a couple a years back. Am spewing that I lost it about 10 minutes after that pic. Shoulda left it on the wall @ home. Doh!

Cheers,

fitz..

[bdowdy]

good stuff fitzy,wouldnt have thought about using slugs with all the plastics and hard bodys around theses days, but works a treat hey....also know were your coming from with leaving it on the wall at home in retirement, but i know my wall is getting very full. cheers bdowdy

[Kayak1]

Cania yellow last October. Think it went 46cm. Daughter has a pb of around 50cm.
Cheers,

[bdowdy]

nice fish gotta love cania its awesome dam, hope to get back up there when it warms up. cheers bdowdy.

[fishytales]

Here's a yellowbelly I caught this morning at NPD. Measured 50cm to the fork, and fought like a wet sock.:) Maybe them bass are spoilin' me.

Chris

[tiges]

Thought I'd drag this old post up as I got my PB yella the other day. It's weird because I'd only ever caught 2 small yella's before, and their captures were incidental and a long time in between. My last 3 fishing sessions have resulted in only single fish captures, and bugger me if all 3 fish weren't yella's. At 3 different locations too. Didn't rate them much in the fighting stakes, but this one went really well. Put up a dogged and sustained fight, which had me picking it for a large bass. Got this one at Borumba.

[blue_mako]

Measured 50cm to the fork

Yellowbelly have forks? :o :P .

Here's a couple of pics of one of the 58cm Yellowbelly I've caught from North Pine. Caught another 58cm one in the same spot a week before so could have been the same fish. Missed out on pics the first time so had to catch him again.

Been looking through the pics, some big fish in here fellas!

I'll add a couple of pics of my best yellow, 52cms from somerset, don't know the weight. I've only ever caught two, this was the second. Dont get to do much freshwater fishing.

Didn't realise my bro had chopped the tail in the photo until after the fish was back in the water, ah well ::) .

[Little grey men]

Nice yella Simon, amazing colourings on some of them. they'd be pretty hard to spot in a weed bed.

[slyman]

Nice yella Simon, amazing colourings on some of them. they'd be pretty hard to spot in a weed bed.

Yep lovely colours on these fish, this one was caught right up close to a steep rocky face to my left in the picture though, not from the grassy area behind me. This was just after Somerset had that big inflow at the beginning of the year. It was the only fish for the day between three of us in the boat, and it was released. Caught it on a soft jackall in a yellowy green colour.

Hey Cindy , i havent fished Pindari for a few weeks but managed a few fish on lipless cranks (megabass smatras) on our last outing . My mate managed a great 59cm fish on his bream rod and a berkley shrimp . Those fish were caught last year on fluro yellow spinnerbaits . I find Pindari to be pretty consistent so wether it is firing or not i cant really comment . Ill try and put up a pic of the 59cm one . Cheers Mark

A couple of years ago we camped at the deer park, Booroomba. Mate Dave doesn't get to fish much - for obvious reasons, and I set up a shrimp trap in the creek downstream from the dam. I told Dave that if we had any chance of catching a fish off the rock wall next to the ramp, in the middle of the day we had better put in the effort and catch live shrimp. There were boats and water skiers in all directions when we arrived, and to be totally honest when Daves' rod buckled over I thought he got caught by the propeller from a boat that was right over the top of his line. Never forget that day, neither will Dave, the yella stands as the biggest fish he ever caught. In the photo Dave in his humour posed with an ornamental knife we picked up from the markets the day before. He said a big fish deserves to be filleted with a big knife LOL

Nice yella Lucas, was the secret weapon the chips in that box behind you??

[lucee81]

nah it was actually prawns that i use for offshore i chucked a couple in the esky before we headed off, i figured it cant hurt and it paid off, bit unfortunate that this particular fish did not put up a decent fight used a shimano 2kg spin rod with 4kg mono cant remember which reel i had on at the time.
havent been back as of yet, fresh water isnt really my cup of tea.
that looks like a decent fish in you avatar what is it i cant really make it out.
