Dlai Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone has tried fishing at Manly Dam? I went last week, but when I got there, I was told by people there that theres nothing to catch, except maybe carp, because theres no inflow so we just left. Is that true? Because on the Manly Dam council website it says it is regularly stocked with Australian Bass, and other species like silver perch and Redfin. So has anyone tried, with any results? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx I have caught bass and redfin in Manly dam and have talked to people who have been catching carp there. All the fish I have caught were of a small size and released back into the dam but they are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew399 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think it was Hook'm that caught a silver perch in there last year, there was a carp comp that was won by a raider last year too, and they do stock it, but i dont think with very much! There is some very fishy areas in there expecially if you had a kayak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosta_b Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Cast some surface poppers in and around the snags.... You will get some Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure'em Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 A few years ago - one of my first times ever fishing, I was using a small surface lure with devon on the bottom and got an about 15cm bream or bass. At the time im not too sure what it was, on a hand reel. Catching that fish is what got me hooked for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Sunn Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have caught plenty of Carp in ther to a good size as well. last year was fishing with a few mates there and one of them latched onto a great perch, I suspect about 3 pounds. Certainly some good fish in there. Cheers Sunnyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
