That Dam is a tough nut to crack!

We spent a week there last December. Caught nothing the first 5 days. Last 2 days caught some nice ones, biggest 2,6kg, on Watermelon Horny Toad in the rain. Seems like surface lures do the trick.

Also met up with a local on his boat. He was fishing a white spinner bait amongst the surface weed.

Thanx will try Spinner. I have heard watermelon is the colour to go for. But on the day I will rely on jerkbait ....just thinking of colour choice...???

Alot of people do say it is a difficult dam...but it seems you do get some fat ones there!!!

Well some feedback on the dam.

The dam is a very tough indeed due to crystal clear water. So the colour of the day was watermelon. Weightless flukes..senkos.Wind started blowing at about 13:00 and did not stop...it was crazy conditions.

Fished at adepth of 10-15th ft. All fish were caught during the morning low light conditions- we could fool the fish a bit. Got one on a junebug fluke. 1.3 kg.

Look for steep drop-offs. The island with pole in die middle of the dam delivered the most fish. the river is a definite NO GO.

Nothing on cranks or jerkbaits!

Biggest fish for the day 3.1 kg. Biggest bag for the day 7.1 kg.
