Hi Yakkers

Well trip number 2. Depart 1pm for troll down the Molonglo river, beautiful spot, paddling in for the first time I can see what shore based anglers are missing out on, such a beatiful spot, and not expected! The sounder showed a depth of 7 meters as soon as you entre the mouth of the river, and fish were marked on the sounder at 5 meters.....trolled with a 4.5 depth lure, no luck, dropped spinner baits to the bottom to but no luck. Started to employ the trick of paddling over the air bubbles, sounder would mark fish at 3 meters, but no bite..........

Beautiful day for a paddle, bit windy on the way back, especially coming back into east basin, but topped it off with a beer and thoughts about Googong on the 19th!

Looks like a familar route Ash - I tend to wander around between the bridges a bit too, but haven't managed to catch anything there in the three trips I've had so far. Maybe once it warms up a bit more... those snaggy tree-lined areas scream yellowbelly/cod to me though - not sure why the lures aren't being attacked.

Yeah, like you said, needs to warm up.......I dont think they were on the bite that day......but I will be going there again for sure when it warms up

Nice report, the yak looks great on the water mate but was there much traffic there? ( All to your self? )
I almost went to the Reach on Sunday but decided to stay on LBG and get off the water by 12, its nice and tucked out of the way of the wind isnt it!

Sun on the water all day and slightly overcast afternoon should get the result, many fish there as you saw on the FF... ive met a few boaties who bob with yabbies for Goldens ( Sitting in the snags at the same spot for around 10 minute intervals, pays off apparently ).

Glad your having fun mate, the landscape out @ Googong will be a sight in itself... hopefully the fishing is too! 8)

there was a guy on a stink boat trying his luck on fly....no fish....two yakers (recreation) came by and some people bait fishing further East, and of course my mate who joined me.

Aleg75, the pics make the water look great. I'd certainly rate a day on water like that a top day. And not catching fish is my hobby so it would probably be a good spot for me. Actually I try to catch em, but I am running out of excuses why I don't. So I will have to just say I do sportsfishing where I give the fish more chances to not get caught.
