Kinchant and Teemburra. . . .

[Herby13]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has been having any better luck then myself at these dams the last week or so?

Been too Kinchant 3 times the last week for a late arvo popper session followed by 5 or more hours of trolling for only 2 small barra. :cry:

Thanks Thomas.

a mate of mine lives up that way and he fishes teemburra he was there on the weekend for an arvo session on surcatch poppers medium size with a bit of gold on them said he was getting smoked by some unstoppables and got about 4 between 50 - 80 cm
not much info but hope it helps

Went the other day and caught 6 on the average size and dropped about the same at Teembra.
Cheers Gav

Gav, You did very well mate. You must of cracked a pattern that has me stumped. Glad to hear someone is catching them

I havent put a barra in the boat up at teemburra in the past 11 trips of about 4 hours each trip average. Had a couple of hook ups but none into the boat.

A guy I have gotten to know has been fishing teemburra for the past 14 days with a morning and arvo session each day for a total of 3 fish, believe me this guy is no smuck and knows the dam well. Prior to that he did a 10 day stint morning and arvo for 1 fish before going to eungella to chase sooties.

Has got me beat at this point but I will be back up there next weekend again to try and figure the frustrating bloody things out.

Cheers
Birko

My mate Isaac has been smashing the barra and sooty atm on his new car topper. Most on HB casted at dam wall on sunset. Most fish around the mtr with a few around 1.1

The weedbeds are fishing well atm also for sooty.

Hey Birko , what lures are you using and where do you fish. I mainly fish the sticks with Tangos & Slick rigs and if I get bored swap to spinnerbaits and chase sootys .I have had a few donuts at Teembra but last year I caught 60% of my fish at Teembra in the colder months.
Cheers Gav

Thanks gav. Have been using alsorts and all locations including the timber and tango's and plastics. Your right about last year being a cracker winter. Sounds like you had an exceptional day your last trip. Hasn't fished well for me up there since the large inflows. Apreciate the tips. Birko

[gav73]

Hey Birko what sort of boat do you have I will keep a eye for ya next time Im up at Teembra or Kinchant.

Gav, do you find you do better in the late afternoons or during the day when it's cool? I'm going to Teemburra this weekend, but not sure whether to do an afternoon session on Saturday or midday session on Sunday.

Cheers,
Dave.

[gav73]

Dave i normaly go for the midday on as the water is warm , but if I camp the night we try a bit of both. Do you live in Moranbah.
Cheers Gav

[davez104]

Yeah Gav, I do. Didn't even notice your location till you mentioned it. You live out here too?

Dave.

[gav73]

Sure do Dave
Gav

Hmm, seems to be a bit of a Barra chasing crew out this way. I've been off the Barra dams for the last few years, concentrating on other interests and just plain slack, but am keen to get stuck back into them.

We did a trip to Eungella last weekend for zip, will try Teemburra this Sunday. Will probably head over in the morning, get started mid-morning and see how we go from there. Won't stay too late as I have work again on Monday morning.

Whereabouts do you work Gav?

Cheers,
Dave.

[gav73]

I'm in the workshop at Riverside. We're heading to townsville next weekend but will probably be fishing somewhere the following weekend. Where are you at Dave?

Regards

Gav

Prestrip operator out at Peak.

We'll see how we go this weekend at Teemburra, if we do OK we might head back up the following weekend, if not, well, depends on the weather, but might do a creek trip somewhere.

Dave.
