Wellzy94 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hey raiders! I'm travelling towards the Jenolan Caves for the weekend. The house I'm staying at has a private dam that's stocked by the owners every 12 months, and I'm hoping to catch a few trout. Any recommendations of lures to get? I've got a few Tassie Devils, but that's about it. Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houdini Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 small minnows, soft plastics and vibes could all work if you have lures for bream/flathead they should do or the humble old garden worm either on the bottom or under a float Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellzy94 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Thanks Houdini! I've also got a couple of Ecogear SX40s, I'll make sure to pack those as well as some small cranks. As for baits to soak, I'll be taking worms and Powerbaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullatt Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 For me, I always carry a few Celta's and Crawdad's in my bag...as well as the other lures already mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 not sureif the trout patterns will work as being in a dam no breeding no cannibalism....small crawdads or maybe crickhoppers thinking about it may be the go...rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campr Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I have had most success with small No 1 & 2 brass and black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellzy94 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 I have Celtas too, I forgot I had them! Royce, I got 2x CD5s, one in rainbow and one in brown. I also got a tub of Powerbait 1" Craws. Thanks for the advice, raiders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirvin21 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 try a shiny metallic colour trout have a real hard time passing up shiny if the dam is as well stocked as stated the trout will most likely be competing for food which will lead to cannabalism so trout patterns will likely work gold celtas also work well and so does the old halco wobblers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 A tip if you are using live worms for bait. When you arrive at the dam transfer the worms from the soil they are in to local moist soil from around the dam, alloy them to settle overnight and you will have better success than using worms from foreign soil.
