Great to see the site being resurrected.
Opening the "new posts" tab actually sees a full board as opposed to nothing.
Keep up the GREAT work folks

Great to see this thread started up. Had a trip out today so thought I'd get this started. I took myself out of my comfort zone and headed off to Ewan Maddock Dam this morning to have a crack at targeting Bass. It was a late start and I got there at 8.30am. Found out that you need to have a permit to fish there now which took around 30 mins to sort out. The weather was amazing. No wind and nice and sunny. Probably not the best weather for targeting bass though. Two and a half hours of fishing later later I managed to avoid a donut by landing this fat healthy looking fish. Not huge but its a PB for me. Mission accomplished.

I planned a catch-up with my brother well before Xmas but we had no idea it would be on one of the hottest days of the year down here! He lives in tumut Nsw so we decided to target some Murray cod Blowering dam is known for, so with the rig all set we left his house at 4pm for just an overnighter, on the snowy mountains highway just outside of tumut we were stuck in roadworks and the reality of the Heat was starting to kick in but we pressed on! So bloody hot....
Air temp of 42deg but on the tarmac a tad hotter!
See pic 1.
Jamie showed his local knowledge and with the dam quite low and dropping rapidly the best way to target them this time was trolling deep tight against the rocky banks, we put on some old trusty size 1 stumpjumpers and oargee ploughs to get down 6 metres plus to where the fish seemed to be sitting, a cast and retrieve was useless with the top water being way too warm. The only sign of life was the odd carp free swimming in the heat and us when we jumped in for a quick cool off!
After only an hour bro was onto our first little cod and the first I’d seen in the flesh in years!
We trolled on for another 20 mins then I got a small one that wasn’t even worth calling a mighty Murray cod! But along the same bank Jamie got a monster hit and we were on!

That was about it for the night and the sundown was a welcome relief from the heat. We set up a rough camp on a flat point we found across the dam and had a few too many beers, a quick feed as we were lucky to have no fireban somehow!???!??? My brother dropped his iPhone in the dam too which provided me some laughs!

After a terrible sleep in 25 deg overnight with mozzies ready to carry us away if they could get thru the aero guard and mesh we woke at 6am, packed up in 15 mins and hit the water again. I was hell bent on getting a good fish this morning but once again the guru on his home turf got the chocolates with another ripper! Couldn’t think of a better bloke to be out fished by...
Pic 5!
A great 18 hours on Blowering dam that’s for sure and I’ll be back to get that metery.
Cheers Matt

Took my 2 boys for a bank bash and anyone with kids will know the trips need to be short or boredom sets in...
A couple of soft plastic rigs were setup and I let them go!
Only half an hour was needed to have the boys excited and hopefully further hooked on fishing, my oldest catching his best bream yet at 37cm, he played it like a champ and is really starting to get the hang of luring

They’d still rather a trip to the skate park but I’m slowly winning them over
