gaday fellow Ausfisher's.
this is more a gripe than a report.
i've been fish ( or thats what i would be doing if i was at any other dam in Queenlsand or NSW for that matter.) at hinze dam for at least 2-3 years , and in that time i have caught fish, but when you think about how many trips i've made to this dam to fish , i can't beleave that the gold Coast fish stoking body that is put fish in this dam are accualy doing just that. from what i can gather before the last flood that took most of the fish out over the wall, hinze fish fairly well but not now.
saturday was the last straw for me launched at the western ramp at 5:30 am armed with every bit of tackle i own with the ecception of my bottom bashing gear.
2Kg spin stick and a 4Kg overhead.
i had plastics, hard bodies and spinnerbaits.
i fished till 11.30am for 4 stikes and 1 spat hook.
in the last half dozen trips thinking if i get just 1 more bit of you bute lure or spinner or what ever to tempt the couple fish that im told are in this impoundment.
I DON'T THINK SO. ive wasted more of my valueable time off to fish a crap impoundment that i beleave is grossly under stoked for it volume and its access.
ive just gone through my records and in the last year i have only caught 4 bass in hinze and they were 4 defferent trips.
and of those 2 where legal.
i may not be a professional bass fisherman but im not stupid.
and i dont expect to get a cricket score of bass or for that matter an esky full.
I fish for bass for sport strictly catch and release as do the majority of bass fisho's.
when do you say to yourself why do i waste my time in this fishless waste land.
well saturday was mine for i'll never fish Hinze again , or at least till i know that the stockers have at put a restectable number of fish in there.
the 35 bucks you pay to fish there is a waste of hard earned cash.
you only have to look at the comps that are held there the catchs are pathetic. the last 1 i sore was a while ago but for 2 days fishing by all competitors saw about 300 odd fish. you compare that to any other comp . just an eg: golden lure 1345 fish ( bigger than 30cm) for a day and a half.of that 960 bass.
last report from Hinze waste land.
