:)nice fish wamjam, i caught a few the other day down the western side of tenterfield and will try to catch afew more this week as i work shifts. have you had much rain as all of my local fishing spots are flowing really well and could see abit of duck weed in the photos under the willows there, also what are you catching them on ,the fish i caught the other day wouldnt touch spinnerbaits but grabbed hardbodys in black and yellow. any how nice photos ill have to work out how to send some of mine in. bdowdy ;D ;)

Gday bdowdy
Mate we had some good storms ,the river is pretty dirty the last couple of days. The weed growing on the bottom is the worst part . Just been throwing hardbody's into the clearer parts under the willows . Black green and yellow homemade lures and mudeye's same colours are doing the damage.
Going to Pindari tomorrow arvy if I survive the work xmas party tonight. See how we go.

[bdowdy]

Second fish approx 15lb or a bit better and no we didn't eat any.
Pindari has a bit colour in it , looks a bit crappy and the wind blow like sh*t yesty arvo , end up with one cod about 5 lb.

:)gday wamjam, ive just got back from a early morn fish and got16 cod for the morning. 9 on surface and the rest on spinners. i may be fishing somerset after xmas but give me apm and ill let ya know if a glenlyon trip could be done. have caught anice 21lb cod last time iwas there and seen at least 20 fish up to60lb up near the caves. the fishing has been great around here lately. cheers bdowdy ;D ;D

[scott_b]

Jees mate 9 on surface that would have been fun , did you get many hits or did they swallow the lure straight up.
Well done mate , wamjam

[bdowdy]

:)hi wamjam most hit once and then let the lure sit or twitched it and bam you were on. did get a few on the pause on retrieve but as isaid its all awesome fun. one fish just snapped me off on the first hit, would have loved to see how big it was as didnt even get the chance to feel weight. cheers bdowdy ;) ;D

wamjam your lucky to live so close to good fishing like that. i travel 500 km to glenlyon dam about 3 times a year where we have an on site van.the condamine river is about 100km from home but has not cleared for about 8yrs,alot of big cod there, no sport catching them on setlines.will be at glenlyon about the 6th-14th jan week before full moon.

cheers

Don't know what the fishing will be like ,we had a real good fresh through last week but should clear enough to smash something by the time you are down.

First timer on this site. The wife & I are heading down to Glenlyon on 14th Jan for a week. Haven't fished for cod before - am taking on board your tips, much appreciated by a novice like me. Was wondering with all the storms around, whether there has been any run into the dam - if so is this good or bad for fishing.

;D hi russell there has been some water coming into the dam and most fish were getting caught at the top of the dam before xmas but im fishing here this week and will let you know whats doing. bdowdy ;D

[derfla]

bdowdy - thanks for the reply. am leaving on holidays on wednesday arvo. let you know how we went on our return. even if we only catch one of those green beauties, it will make the trip worthwhile.
