Hooked-Up Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi Guys and Girls. Am planning a day trip to the Hunter Valley with the boat and the rods to target bass. Would like to know which lake people would suggest we look at? Glenbawn, St Clair, or even Liddell. Any information would be greatly appreciated and Swordy i know you know about the bass up there so feel free to chime in Thanks and good fishing. Lee.

Scratchie Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Just have a look at swordies last trip to glenbawn! Don't think you could go past it. IMO either glenbawn or stclair. Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked-Up Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Cheers Scratchie, Will do mate! Thinking St Clair as its a bit closer and were planning on doing a 24 hr trip so every minute fishing and not driving is pretty important. Would that be a silly mistake? Should we go the distance to Glenbawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hard call mate. Not sure if swordy caught every bass in glenbawn but he was close to it! I haven't had that much experience in those dams, I'm more a yak fisho when targeting bass on the rivers up here. Hopefully someone can add a bit more info for you! Cheers scratchie!!!

Guest Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Both dams are great but for me Glenbawn is my pick and with all this rain you will do well on natural coloured spinnerbaits thrown right in the trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked-Up Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Cheers fellas. Just checked out your report from Glenbawn Swordie. flipping heck mate, what a trip!!! What happened with the fly rod mate as im hoping to mainly be using that approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked-Up Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Sinking lines and zonkers in the day and big dries at night was the plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The fishing was tough and with the bass smashing spinnerbaits I didn't persevere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked-Up Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 right oh mate, will spend the day testing it out and if we get a few will put up a report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Oh I forgot to mention the bass were on the surface down near the old dam wall in the sticks...far left from the ramp just on dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_ Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Both Glenbawn and St Clair are fishing awesome at the moment. Don't forget to stop at the little bridge over the spillway after you come through the boom gate at Glenbawn, there's some huge Bass under there. We've had a heap of rain up here too and that can bring the Silvers on but mostly on bait. Worms and believe it or not, snails, are the go for them. These Silver Perch get huge and if you can find them, you'll get them upwards of 55cm and sometimes 60cm. Obviously Bass are the main target species but Glenbawn has Silvers, Yellas, Cattys, Carp and the odd big Cod. Good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
