fullysikwog 6 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 i neva take any notice of those fishing reports mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokeykebab 175 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I did see two mullies caught there on tuesday or wednesday night, cant remember which nite. I tried both them nights as well as lastnite but I didn't catch any. 99% of the time I don't believe the reports in the advertiser but the 11kilo mully is true.

plankton 725 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Those reports say the same thing all Summer, they won't change it till about a month after the big salmon schools show up, then it will be the standard Winter report. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dubs The Tackle Man 0 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Very true Mark, we do get a phone call weekly asking for fishing reports, We can only listen to the reports people give us most being true but some arn't.Often the reports can be a week late but it's not like the fish will bite for 1 week only.Believe what you want to I guess, but coming from 2 people that provide this information I would believe it.Cheers Dubs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

urhookedfish 12 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I cant believe I am writing to tell you guys this but as most people know the species that live in the lake are wide and varied.Myself and John Walkley managed to get onto a school of snapper at 33-35cm (Not sure if this was last year or year before), but was when the bream were going hard and he was landing plenty of 40cm plus bream...and boy was landing the reds major fun. I was fishing on soft plastic (Berkley poggy mullets) and was getting slammed.was the most fun I have ever had in the lake. I have also caught big flounder, and like most of you have seen some monster blue swimmer crabs just cruising past.The lake can be an amazing place to fish.Kind of like the broadwaters in brisbane but without the metre long flatties...bummer.

urhookedfish 12 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 The Mullies are definately in there and come on the bite from now thru to May...I have personally seen 3 mullies caught in one night at about 90cm each ...Location: Hanson court concrete lake surround) These were on live mullet taken just after dark.Have always wanted to go and try throwing some new generation softies at em but never been really bothered, but as its on my way home from work, maybe I should give it some serious thought.Tightest of toight lines.

__matt__ 0 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 On that note, i dont understand why we havent got loads of flatties in the lake, its perfect. There are plenty of flats full of mullet/gar/whiting to feed on, flatties are common place metro and at grange so why, unlike almost every other species i can think of, do they not seem to come into the lake? They would have to... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piranha 76 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 we don't get flatties in the estury systems down this way either even though the river is open to the sea most of the year, I have asked locals who live on the river and they say they've heard of 1 flattie caught in the last 15 years. It is strange :huh:You would think of baby flatties are in the lake then mum & dad flatties would have to be in there at some stage?cheers wes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benny 1 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I think its because the flatties here in SA dont really hang around the estuaries they prefer reef/ weedy bottom and we dont really have that here in the lake (a few creeks on the Ep produces them) its probably something to do with the type of weed and food abundnace, because I have noticed a lot of them have juvenile blue swimmer crabs in their stomachs.

Piranha 76 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm definately no expert but as far as I know flat headed gudgons are a freshwater species, there are stone headed gudgons and sleepy cod that are in the gudgon family but their range is normally on the east coast and up northern aus?cheers wes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
