Kinchant dam, bank fishing

[shincism1]

Hey guys, just wanting to know whether it's worth my time getting a permit to have a go at Kinchant dam. No boat etc so was wondering whether many locals have been catching fish from the banks? Or should I just not waste my time. Very open to suggestions. Cheers guys

G'day mate, the banks that are accessible are all covered in weed so I suggest that you use top water lures such as hard legz frogz and scum frogs. Make long casts to the outer edges of the weed beds.
My son caught 2 barra, 95 and 93 cm in the weeds using the hard legz.

You can also get Owner weedless jig heads so you dont get snagged so easily. I am goping up there on Saturday and camping but I will be taking my kayak.

Thanks mate. I've gotten into the snagless. They work quite well in normal circumstances as well. Will give those options a shot!
