Sorry m8 I'm away that weekend otherwise I'd come along just to give my new Sport a tryout. As far as lures go there are people here more familiar with what works at Googong than me but on my last trip I picked up a couple of Redfin on chatterbaits in black and purple. One other bloke there had a Cod taken on a large spinnerbait.

Gday Linx, I'm always keen to fish Googong but can't do those dates. It can be a really fantastic place to fish, but can also be soul destroying, depending on the day. My experience has mostly been the latter, but the good days make up for it, and keep you coming back. The last few trips I've done no good at all, it might still be a bit cold, and Googong guru Pescado has also been struggling. I think the redfin are mostly schooled up and sitting deep, in the heat of summer they are more active around the edges.

My Googong lure box contains:
-Bassman 4x4 spinnerbaits
-Jackall TN50s and TN60s (cheaper knock offs will do though), and deep Chubbies
-Lucky Craft 48DD pointers
-Various blades (TT, Ecogear VX/ZX)
-1/4oz TT Bladed jigheads, an assortment of other 'normal' jigheads from 1/12 to 3/8oz, and an assortment of paddle tail SPs (Ecogear grass minnows, atomics, squidgy fish etc) and Gulp 3" minnows.

Soft plastics(swim shad) redfin or rainbow/brown trout patten .Brand Tsunami from kmart .
In summer they do hide in the deeper water ,locate logs and fish around them I use a lift and drop method.They do like to school up so when you find them you get a few.

cheers

I'm going to try and get out there one day this weekend, Saturday morning being the most likely, but don't hold me to that because I do change my mind often!

Squidder's advice above is excellent. My main lures i use include spinnerbaits for cod (although not this time of year), Jackall TN60s and small paddletail soft plastics.

I'm interested to see what Googong looks like from the kayak with the high water level, I flew over it the other day and was amazed how much it had filled up.

I'm working on Friday the 8th But I may head there on Saturday or Sunday, depending if I'm good and have no chores to do. Most likely be Sunday though.

As far as lures go, there is only one. A red and black Micro-Min .
