Here’s the fishing report for Boondooma and Bjelke-Petersen dams for the week ending Monday, September 28:
* * *
Boondooma Dam
- Dam Level = 65 per cent
Redclaw are slowly coming out of hiding due to the warmer water but there are still not big numbers being caught yet.
Golden Perch were having a good week with good numbers being caught and good sizes, too. Spinner bait and lures worked the best.
Bass were hard to find in the morning but were better in the afternoon when good sizes were caught. Lures seemed to work the best.
* * *
Bjelke-Petersen Dam (Yallakool)
- Dam Level = 45.6 per cent
Loads of fish are being caught off the bank and in the boats around the sticks.
Golden Perch are once again the main fish of choice with Bass coming in at a close second.
Yabbies, shrimp and prawns are the idea bait of choice with plenty of reports of them being hooked fairly regularly.
A 50cm Eel-tailed Catfish was caught just off the bank near the boat ramp within the park area.
Red claw have been reported to have been caught but are still not very plentiful at this stage.
