Hey Sillyman, I've caught there on weeny-worms, jnr flukes in watermelon gold and senko's in watermelon candy. Haven't been for a couple of weeks, but last time there were a couple of schools of rats about 6-8 inches in length. Let us know how you do...

Will do!

Hi

Schollie has it spot on. I've also had have lots of luck with the infamous Mepps Fury. Keep in mind that there's not many quality fish but loads of small 1's. Good way to pass your time but VERY small chance of u landing anything over 1kg.

Hi all

Went there on Sunday in the late afternoon, fishing with a bud off the wall into the sluices caught nothing exept for a snag in the third one. I used a Mepps Black Fury and Sensation dropshot minnows with a steady retrieve.

Thanks

Hi SMan

The area in front of the sluices never yielded many fish. Try the other corners of the dam, on the dam wall and the side along the road. (The trees just next to the club house and the corner of the dam wall and the botanical gardens is really good).
If you don't get any hits with the Mepps or conventional plastics, switch to a small (4" 5") Senko. Fish it Sloooowly off the bottom and u bound to catch 1.

The 2 ponds below Marks Park also have some bass although it's not the safest of spots as I've been mugged there but the few fish that are there a decent in size.

Good Luck

Thanks
