Baits do best at MPGFish (Mount Penang Gardens) but :
Most guys are throwing diving lures and I reckon the fish don't readily recognise them. It is a dam and most fish would be feeding on insects, frogs, detrius and other bits and pieces they find predominantly on or near the surface and around the reeds that surround the dam.
Dragging diving lures across the depths in no mans land ain't going to catch much.
Fish are caught on diving lures and soft plastics but not as many as are caught on baits. Reality is you would probably find that to be the case with freshwater fishing in many locations.
As for fly fishing, most of the fly fisho's that have visited have used sinking flies. Surface flies are the way to go. I don't fly fish but I can work that out. In the afternoons heaps of insects (dragon flies predominatly) swarm on the waters surface and heaps of little birds are dipping and picking the dragon flies off. The fish are particularly active at this time and I reckon would have to take flies.
They are fed cat pellets, they love it, and all of them give it a chomp when I throw out handfulls. I often float out bread or pellets without any weight and have a ball, especially with the Silver Perch which fight hard and long.
Bass will be introduced in october.
