fabby! I need to go fishing!!!!

inspiring! i need to shake this 2 week old cold and catch some fish!

down at the rail bridge i am guessing? nice going. thats a good looking fishy.

turtles are a constant catch for me lately... need to find something that they wont eat. 3 baby carp is better than no fish an no fish i better than the best day at work

yeah it was a good day all up. i only had corn and a bit of bread... I think i need to try something more exotic next time. Just hate spending too much money on carp...

I only caught one... at a measly 25cm. :/ the record for the day was an absolute monster tho. looked to be 80cm or more!

Campbelltown catch a carp comp is on today... in 50 mins! be there of be square! http://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/CatchACarp I bought a new rod when i went to pejar and havent caught a fish since. I hope today is the day i break the drought.

cool.i tried a small popper once and got some interest and figured they they probably would take a surface lure. well done

Yup. My buddy wants to go there this weekend. Might give it a miss. Anyone got a good location close to there we could go to instead? Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk

Apparently overcast days are better. Oh well, next time. I like the new rod. Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk

G'day y'all! I headed out from c/town home base at 7am (thats early for me) to Pejar Dam, the reputed home of "STONKERS!" according to the australian liberal party. I stopped in town (Goulburn) for some quick munchies and was at the dam unpacking the car by 9.15. I retrieved my backpack, net and rod from the back of my car and headed off on what was a bea-utiful. As i departed the car to the waters edge i managed to get a stick caught in my line... Hang on! that twig has a runner on it! <enter expletives galore> packed up and headed back into town. i keep telling my friends that no one gets lost any more. its near impossible! so I googled "fishing tackle goulburn" and moments later I had a new shimano rod. I must have just about walked all around the damn dam and my legs are sore. Zero fish, I saw some fry harassing a moth and that was it. beautiful dam. the water was nice and high and cool to stand in... the dam just needs fish. (the fish I am told are in the deep water and a yak is the way to go. I used celtas and lil hard bodies all day)

heading up to pejar tomorrow to see what i can get. leaving campbelltown at about 7am. if anyone has any good spots there or techniques they want to share....?

hi pomey, I had them looking at it. a couple of quick splashes and some sorta cruise up to it. my popper was a slow sinking one of about 3cm. Paikea, i understand the ones here taste like crap :/

oh, and i chucked a popper in... carp on poppers might be possible.

first up, it sucks not being able to access this forum from work Its been over a month since i have had a chance to wet a line... anywhere! I knew i'd get something in between Christmas and new year though and i have some trout fishing coming up with a buddy too. I arrived at about 9'30am at my carp hole to find the fish up and feeding. they seemed to be particualrly active taking bugs and whatnot off the surface. I recieved a fairly quick hook up on a big fish which promptly draged my line through every submerged log in the pool to eventually break me off. Not long after i targeted this fish (see photo below), dropping a single corn kernel on a small hook in front of its nose. Its not a big fish but after only a small run i was glad to land it. Later i moved up stream and was taunted by another large fish. I dropped a kenrnel in front of it, and it swam back for it but didnt pic it up. Swimming off it draggd the line with it, and I jagged it on the tummy. I actually thought I would land it, but it rubbed me off on the many abundant rocks submerged at this end. 2 large fish lost in one morning... I need a bigger rod!

nice going. i need to get out more.

nice footage there.

Might head up there mid next month..... If I get time. Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk
