leslie vs coolmunda

[yellahunter]

just wondered if anyone has fished leslie or coolmunda dams lately. looking to go chase some yellas from the bank over christmas. anyone got any reports or ideas?

Latest reports I've heard are a couple of cod from Coolmunda & some decent yellas from Leslie if you can find some water to fish in.

is there not much water out there?? i havent been out west for a couple of years now

yellahunter, went to Coolmunda last sunday and got 4 yellowbelly ranging from 38-43cm, all up in the timbered section in the space of a few hours. Got 1 on a live shrimp and 3 casting a little purple hardbody lure. Launching is easiy as there is plenty of water at the ramp, the dam would be well over half full.
A mate of mine went to Leslie last weekend for 1 silver perch. Last time we went to Leslie we only managed 1 legal sized yella, plus a few small ones trolling lures. Launching could be diffacult to if you have a large boat.
Hope this helps

Think ive made the decision to goto leslie, does anyone know whats been happening out there lately for shore based anglers

[caveman]

the dam rose 110cm last week other then that can't know mate but will be seeing the fellow who runs the camp site at my sercurity guards course tomorro and will ask him for you

sounds good mate, does the dam fish well from the banks do you know? or do u really need a boat like many of the other impoundments in SEQLD
