Hello Bass Freak
we have blanked more at nigel than days we got fish +500g, they seem to move alot or just switch off. on the very odd ocation you will get between 10-15 fish all +500g-1.5KG. and the next weekend a group of about 50 anglers will only catch +-35 fish in a local comp we have on a monthly basis. one day they will stick to the reeds and the next they will be on the rocky banks. Walking there is no good because there are lots carp anglers and a lot of reeds. only one side of the dam is regarded as "safe" but the golf course side is the "highjack".
if you want to go to nigel dam try and go with a boat.the muncipal side "safe" of the dam opens a 7AM and the dodgy side is always open.
