Robbo,
Do about three to four months a year
fishing the impoundments in Qld.
Flavour of the month are Awoonga near
Gladstone, and Monduran near
Gin Gin, boat hire is available at both dams. Best boat for hire are at Monduran.
Guides are available for both dams, But a good chat to Rob and Kelly at Lake Monduran will give you lots of information.
Go to AUSFISH and do a
search on either lake, heaps of info and hints.
You need to have good gear, to land a good fish.
While I say that an old fellow at Awoonga a couple of years ago, caught a metre plus barra 30metres from ramp with a surf rod, 14lb mono line and a small sidecast.
What sort of gear do you have and can you utilise that, or do you want to know what you need.
Only been
fishing for barra for a short time (30yrs) and still learning, my best so far just a 119.5cm at Lake Monduran.
I use spin gear, 50lb braid and 80lb leaders, with upgrade spilt rings and owner st66 4x hooks. But like I said, depends on what you currently have and is it suitable.
Neither dam is really suitable for bank
fishing, and if you want to do that there are a lot more river systems suitable. These are big dams, and a bit of prior knowledge would help. Do you research, and you will have a great time.
Highly recommend
Regards
Trev
