Fishing beautiful Lake Macdonald There were some big ones taking the odd bug but not taking on the fishermen this fine day. In the past two comps, lures have outfished the bait, but not this day. Danny Manning and I using live shrimp, caught more fish than all the other competitors put together. Danny took out first place with 12 Bass with the biggest 41cm, one Yellow belly 41cm and one Catfish 47cm. I came second with 11 Bass, best 37cm and in third place was Sue with two Bass, best 41cm, fourth place was Michael with two Bass, fifth place was Paul with one Bass and Bede took out the Junior prize. Prizes were supplied by Hooked on Angling & Outdoors. Total fish caught and released were 46, with still lots of fish
showing on the sounders and some huge bait balls to be seen. The fish were shy of the lure but for the bait fishers, it was working out the depth the fish were taking the bait and changing location regularly that helped enormously. This depended on the strike rate, size of the fish being landed and also trying to find different habitats for different fish species. Our local resident eagle was perched in a nearby tree and keeping a close eye on us. He has a different style of fishing from us. Adults must have a Sip permit (obtainable at your local Post Office or online) to fish local freshwater impoundments in SE QLD, on which there is a pensioner discount. A big thanks to Kim and the

YARDFORCE MOWER
NINE of us were out of bed early Sunday morning with the full moon, ready to be on the lake for the 6am starting gun for our August comp. With boats on the water, the moon disappearing, the sun creeping over the horizon, morning mist rising off the water and Cooroy Mountain mirrored in the clear still water, we headed off. It was good to feel the warmer temperature and enjoy the sun on our backs as the day got underway. Bede, our junior, was there in his kayak, working the lily pads and weed banks, trying to find a good-sized Bass or two. Sue, our only lady fisher of the day, bagged two good-sized Bass using a popper. The Saratoga were not as busy on the surface as usual.
