First fish at Borumba

[shane 234]

Ok everyone
We've done it. the frist trip had no fish from borumba, but last sunday and monday we did it.
we arrived sunday lunchtime and put the pots in and fished till arond 3 for no fish. then one strech of bank out of the wind had a good looking snag with fish written all over it, i made the first cast and dragged out a rare weed fish, haha. then my brother made the next and hooked up to a toga that went 450. then minutes later i made another cast to the same snag and hooked a 350 bass. while this was all happening my mum driffted a live shrimp under a float past the snag and hooked up to a 400 toga.
that was it for the day, then the next day we hit the water early. we tried all the spots we got hits and those fish from the previous day for nothing. up ahead of the bank we where casting to i could see a half submerged wattle tree, a few casts underneath it produced my first ever saratoga that measured 450. nothing then till around midday when we tageted a similar wattle tree further up the dam my brother hooked up to a 570 toga. then that was it for the day apart from a dropped toga and a few more hits.

then it was time to call it quits, so we headed home with a feed of redclaw.
and the tally coming to 1 bass and 4 saratoga.

we may be returning soon. ill keep everyone posted.
cheers,
Shane

yer Darren one bloke got a decent yellowbelly across from the ramp. we also saw a huge dead one next to the ramp, poor fella.

Ta - I'm keen to get up that way soon myself - I'd rather chase yellowbelly myself and just wanted to check if there in any sort of numbers up that way? Cheers, Darren.

yer, its definatley the toga that are the thickest up there. im no expert but i think because the toga are so agrresive they beat the other fish to the lure at times.
