How to Fish a quarry

I find what works for me is to fish very slow when the fish go of the bite, I will often cast out my lure and just let it lie there for a few minutes giving it a small jiggle every once in a while, I will then retrieve it a little and let it lie for a while and so I repeat this process. You will find that often after the second or third time of letting the lure lie still u will get picket up as the lure moves again.

Will give this a shot! I think a problem with quarry fishing is one always is a little scared to let the lure settle and get snagged so you find yourself reeling in a little too soon

I wouldn't really know. I think as natural as possible would be the best route for a rather Virgin quarry, don't get many frogs which put deodorant on in the morning :)

Was at the quarry on Saturday, nothing spectacular to report back on as yet but did get a good couple take attempts while running bait along the top section of the thick weed surrounding the dropoffs. Had a nukmber of smaller bass following and snapping at a 4" senko running over the bank rubble. Will be returning soon, have to figure this spot out.

8 for me over the weekend and 2 for my standerton fishing partner, he is also the designated fish holder and de hooker lol. All 10 where around this size so am guessing they have just spawned, males defending nests and females chillin in the deep recopin.

This past weekend saw another attempt at the monsters from the depth of the quarry! I can confirm they are there but the fish seem to have gone off the bite totally, there is a lot of white on the weed. Two really good takes but nothing retrieved, one of them was a serious rod bender. A lot of dragon flies dipping the surface with much bass activity targeting them s food sources seem extra abundent.
