Fishing Borumba dam

[Bremic]

It looks like we will shortly be heading to Borumba dam for a few days. Hoping to catch feed of redclaw, and wouldn't mind having a crack at a few fish.

As I understand, fish caught will be either bass or saratoga.

We don't have a boat, we built a canoe earlier this year and I am intending to put this in the water and paddle around, hoping to find a few fish.

I have a few small poppers and stick baits, are they likely to be successful, I would have thought surface lures would be okay for the saratoga, no idea about the bass.

I also presume that early and late would be the best times, when the boat activity is lowest.

You will also get yellas in there. I’ve had reasonable success with spinner baits once the surface activity changes.

Thanks Gunna, always wanted to catch a yellowbelly.

I don't have the benefit of a sounder, I guess fish will be more likely around trees etc.

Also on the edges of weed beds.
