-

turtles are a constant catch for me lately... need to find something that they wont eat. 3 baby carp is better than no fish an no fish i better than the best day at work
-
yeah it was a good day all up. i only had corn and a bit of bread... I think i need to try something more exotic next time. Just hate spending too much money on carp...
-
I only caught one... at a measly 25cm. :/
the record for the day was an absolute monster tho. looked to be 80cm or more!

Yup. My buddy wants to go there this weekend. Might give it a miss.
Anyone got a good location close to there we could go to instead?

Apparently overcast days are better. Oh well, next time. I like the new rod.

G'day y'all!
I headed out from c/town home base at 7am (thats early for me) to Pejar Dam, the reputed home of "STONKERS!" according to the australian liberal party. I stopped in town (Goulburn) for some quick munchies and was at the dam unpacking the car by 9.15. I retrieved my backpack, net and rod from the back of my car and headed off on what was a bea-utiful. As i departed the car to the waters edge i managed to get a stick caught in my line... Hang on! that twig has a runner on it!
<enter expletives galore>
packed up and headed back into town. i keep telling my friends that no one gets lost any more. its near impossible! so I googled "fishing tackle goulburn" and moments later I had a new shimano rod.
I must have just about walked all around the damn dam and my legs are sore. Zero fish, I saw some fry harassing a moth and that was it.
beautiful dam. the water was nice and high and cool to stand in... the dam just needs fish.
(the fish I am told are in the deep water and a yak is the way to go. I used celtas and lil hard bodies all day)
-
heading up to pejar tomorrow to see what i can get. leaving campbelltown at about 7am.
if anyone has any good spots there or techniques they want to share....?
-
hi pomey, I had them looking at it. a couple of quick splashes and some sorta cruise up to it. my popper was a slow sinking one of about 3cm.
Paikea, i understand the ones here taste like crap :/
-
oh, and i chucked a popper in... carp on poppers might be possible.

first up, it sucks not being able to access this forum from work
Its been over a month since i have had a chance to wet a line... anywhere! I knew i'd get something in between Christmas and new year though and i have some trout fishing coming up with a buddy too.I arrived at about 9'30am at my carp hole to find the fish up and feeding. they seemed to be particualrly active taking bugs and whatnot off the surface. I recieved a fairly quick hook up on a big fish which promptly draged my line through every submerged log in the pool to eventually break me off. Not long after i targeted this fish (see photo below), dropping a single corn kernel on a small hook in front of its nose. Its not a big fish but after only a small run i was glad to land it.
Later i moved up stream and was taunted by another large fish. I dropped a kenrnel in front of it, and it swam back for it but didnt pic it up. Swimming off it draggd the line with it, and I jagged it on the tummy. I actually thought I would land it, but it rubbed me off on the many abundant rocks submerged at this end.
2 large fish lost in one morning... I need a bigger rod! -
nice going. i need to get out more.
-
nice footage there.
-
Might head up there mid next month..... If I get time.
