matt17 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 What can you catch in chipping norton lakes? I am hoping someone will say Ep's and bass?
The Incredible Hull Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I catch mullet and poddys (try to anyway), there's lots there. I catch the odd occasional bream, actually caught a big bream from there 4 weeks ago, it was about 35cm. There's eels there too. The water is kinda brackish from fresh water entries, so I don't eat anything from there. My catches end up as bait in Hawkesbury =)
musty Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 What can you catch in chipping norton lakes? I am hoping someone will say Ep's and bass? EP's and bass. Musty

Pongrass18ft Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 What can you catch in chipping norton lakes? I am hoping someone will say Ep's and bass? Chipping norton lake is great for prawns in the summer (dynamite bait alive)
nat Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 I hear when the water is warm & there hasnt been any rain so the water is clear it is full of bream......

johnny doi Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 chippo is a pretty good lure spot.over the years iv caught bream,flattys,mullet,tailor,whiting,ep's,bass and some great jewfish.my pb in chippo is 12kg jew.also some big flathead as jew bycatch. this year has been a bit hit & miss though.last year was a cracker with jew and flathead on nearly every session.cos its my local,me & my mate would fish there maybe 2-3 times a week,tossing sp's on light gear all landbased. last week was the first time i fished there since around april.with joco,we had one the best sessions iv had there on some decent bass in the 30-40cm range.we got probly 40 odd fish in 90mins.but the fishing isnt always that hot.you have to be willing to move around alot to find actively feeding fish.sometimes we move on foot up to 5 times until we find fish. hope this helps. cheers johnny.

Maybe we could aorganize a session one day to hit up the lakes!

matt17 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 Is it legal to catch some prawns and also pump yabbies from there aswell?
Mr.KingSpooled Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Your not wrong when u say Doi is the guru of the lakes !! One of the best fishos I know that are local and can catch fish the way he does in chippo !! He's a freak with his plastics and lures !! Definitely rate him as guru status for chippo lakes 100% Edited August 22, 2011 by Mr.KingSpooled
