Just thought id put up a quick report, been fishing the dam quite a lot over the last few months with only 1 or 2 fish a sesh. Took the girlfriend out thursday afternoon and to my surprise got bricked 3rd cast. Usually just use fly out there but decided to go with spin as it was quite windy. Ended up landing 4 with two going to the girlfriend (her 2nd and 3rd ever bass). Got a 37 to the fork which is not bad for maroon. Was using spinnerbaits but found they kept hitting the blade not the skirt as all the fish were hooked around there mouth but on the outside and got an insane amount of hits without hookups. Really regretting i didnt take a wider selection of lures. Got a fair few hits on surface fly in the last half an hour but couldnt get a hook up. Been having a fair few people come in the shop and give reports about how they couldnt get much out there going to go out there again tomorrow and see if it wasnt just a lucky day as its been months since i had a good sesh out there.
Also hit up moogerah on tuesday arvo with no luck but im not too familiar with the dam so could just be me and my lack of skills lol.
Will post up how i do tomorrow.
Chers, Dave

. Unfortunately it's such a small dam but it's a ripper when they are hitting on the surface.
