Lake Maraboon in emerald 5th December to 13th December
I took my family and our friends for a 9hour drive to a dam that i had only visited when i was a young fella
Emerald had just had some storms that had brought the dam from 16% to 26% in three days
So the water was very dirty but we put out 10 pots within 2 hours of getting their the girl had told us we had to have the camper set up before the boat could even touch the water
The pots were baited with a range of veg from potatoes, pumpkin , sweet potatoes, dog biscuits and even some roast lamb bones. Pos were placed in around 5 to 12 feet of water.
we returned to the pots the next morning to find only three small red craw .a 9 hour drive for three small red craw the boat wasn’t happy so we moved 5 pots to the other side o the bay.
We then went and tried for a yellow belly with no luck. We went back to camp with our three small redcraw the Wives back at camp were up us about the heat{32to 35} and still going on about the drive it only got worse when we showed them the catch . we turned back out to check the pots that afternoon and the drive started to look not that bad we had 15 giants . Tried for a yella again with no luck.

The following days average were around 35 to 40 a day. Fish count was 3 but they were only small bone bream that were in the pots. Not one yella or any of the Barra that are on the wall in the caravan park.
