All of these species are prolific lure takers in their season, and respond all year round to baitfishing. As for the conditions of fishing the clean atmosphere and fresh air is a welcome relief from the coastal salty air and pong of dead prawns around the camp site. Early morning excursions offer an abundance of native wildlife, from ducks to kangaroos. Also the boating itself is really enjoyable as you speed over great expanses of glassy smooth water. Also the MSB Waterways offices have maps.
Methods also vary on impoundment.
Options range from trolling the dam walls to working upstream into the rivers which feed into the dam waterway. This is where baitfishing structures or spinning the snags or both, are viable options. Today's anglers are changing their attitude from using set lines and laying back in the boat. Action and results are expected more quickly, therefore anglers are turning more and more to the use of lures. The fishing has become more pro-active as trolling lures are combined with the use of an electronic sounder, temperature probes, downriggers and other modern gadgets to go after the quarry.
