Hi all Thinking about heading down the deua in a couple of weeks through araluan for some bass, would like to know if anyone has been there since all the rain,or how it was fishing before the rain.I have never been there before so any suggestions about the general area would be much appreciated,i also have a hobie whether its worth taking or not. cheers.

Gday spinman was at tallowa dam last wednesday in the hobie got a few early morning hours in before the wind got to much,but still ended up getting around 15 small bass 2 of which were around the 28 to 30 mark good fun on light gear .im a bit of a regular at tallowa and i think ive nearly got them worked out.Everytime i go i make sure the weather has been fairly hot say a week before i go the bass love the top hot layer of water,also i cant stress enough the lure placement, if you can cast nearly on to the bank everytime without getting snagged, your fish tally will times by about 10,my choice of lure at tallowa is the ecogear chubby shallow diver in 40 mm but any lure like that will also do well.and ive found the big fellas usually take up resedence in the deep bays,dont be scared to troll out deep ive got some big carp doing it also good fun on light gear.good luck hope this helps
