Murray cod: We have finally had a few good reports over the Easter weekend. Most fish were caught trolling or casting Spinner baits in around 20 feet. A 79 cm was the biggest reported, caught by Dazza from Gundagai Anglers. The main basin and Cathedral Rock area's were most popular.
Yellow belly: There are plenty of yellow belly being caught. The fish bins at the cleaning tables were nearly full most days over the weekend. The yellows have moved from holding on trees out deeper and are now holding on the bottom around the base of the trees in around 10 metres of water. Jigging shrimp, worms, Jackals, Vibes and plastics is all working. For those that like their shrimp fishing, reports of 50 shrimp per trap have been common. Not too many reports from the guys trolling this week. The Murrumbidgee River up to Scrubby was the most popular.
Redfin: The odd fish is being caught mostly by trolling, no big numbers though.
Park news: A big thank you to all those that paid us a visit over Easter. We had some live music on Saturday, Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning, a family disco, a movie night and great weather. We certainly had some campers in. There were no disturbances or trouble and great to have a lot of younger families and children pay us a visit. Thanks again.
