I'LL GIVE LAKE BENNETT A GO.

Post by Blinky »

Off to Lake Bennett for a few days over Christmas, a friend owns a bungalow right down near the spillway. Went for a quick gander last weekend, water nowhere near running out, but I’m hoping a few of those big Mummas (that's if there are any left in there) have the urge and are hanging around that end in readiness.
I'm thinking surface lures over the weed beds at night.

I have had sucess during the day the on Spinner Baits :mrgreen: ... Yep... :mrgreen: thats what i just said.... Kind of scary in a canoe though when you hook up to a fresh water croc and it drags the flipping thing through the lake for a bit then finally busts off..... :sailing:

Good luck Blinky.. I think i will just fish in my esky over the holidays :drinking5: :drinking5:
It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming.

Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.

“Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime”

"Soon after I embraced the sport of angling I became convinced that I should never be able to enjoy it if I had to rely on the cooperation of the fish."

Got heaps of nightwalkers, crazy crawlers and the like.

Thanks for the tip on the spinnerbaits too JQ :mrgreen: , I got a few XXL sizes of them left over from my days of chasing Tigerfish.

Nathan, that's no good mate, you need to get another job!

Hey blinky, look for any creeks or anywhere where water flows into the lake, the barra will try to swim up stream rather than down. :D

I've seen it done over QLD way and it works at Manton as well. Good luck.

Cheers bullet :mrgreen:

I have been told first hand they are waiting for you near the dam wall Blinky.
Merry Christmas all.
Smile, be happy & go fishing.

Work is getting in the way of my fishing.
My boss says fishing is getting in the way of my work.
I will soon fix both of our problems by quitting.

No mate, dead as a nit. The young bloke took one hit right off our pontoon but that was it for duration. Plenty of people having a go but no results, a local guy suggested the water was still a little low to get them moving.
Gave Marrakai crossing a look over as well but it was running like a bastard, all we did there was lose lures!
