Fished Moogerah on Thursday for 6 bass and after having had great results for the last 3 months I cannot work out what has happened in a short space of time.
I was last out there on the 2nd December and (a week previous) and managed 50 bass with the best of them coming out of the trees which bordered on the edge of the weed.
I searched from the bottom of the dam to the absolute top of Reynolds Creek but I only had 9 bites for the session.
The only thing noticably different was this last rise has caused the dam to overflow (apparently it's 29 years since the last occurrence).
I fished the edges and I searched the deep without finding any numbers like my previous visits.
I would find it hard to believe that they had all gone over the wall for 2 reasons 1/ the short space of time between trips
2/ the numbers of fish that were present seem to preclude that they would all head downstream especially at this time of the year.
There is one other factor that may have influenced the fish falling back off the edges and that is the surface water temp had increased 3 degrees in the week (I take the temperature when I get on the water so that there is consistency in my readings).
If that was the case then I would have expected them to show up in the deeper water, maybe I just missed them but no numbers were apparent in my searches.
I spoke to the only other two boats on the water later in the day and neither had caught a fish.
I would like to hear any opinions/suggestions or factual reports on where the fish may have disappeared to in the short space of time.
Same deal at Maroon for me Bad_bazza, of the last 10 - 15 trips i have made out there i was yet to come home without at least 20, until yesterday. Only got one rat, very weird, has definately turned off in a bad way.
