Yellow belly: the fishing has definitely picked up in the last few days for the lure fishermen. Orgee’s and AC Invaders have been doing very well. Colours, including gold, greens, yellows and purple are also doing the trick. The colour will vary depending on time of day and cloud cover. My son Henry picked up his first yellow yesterday on a soft plastic while casting. We picked up four yellow belly on Tuesday, in around five metres of water, both trolling and casting. Crank baits, soft plastics, mask vibes and an AC Invader. The fish were picked up along the finer sandy gravel banks of the Murrumbidgee River arm.

Redfin: if you like to catch redfin, you need to be at Burrinjuck. I just saw a post on the Tackle World Facebook of 100 redfin caught on Tuesday using lipless crank baits. I was also out on Tuesday with my son Henry and his friend Riley and we hooked up to 80 fish. This was done in the same area where the yellow belly were found. We would troll until we caught a Redfin or two out the back then pull out the flick sticks with jackalls, mask vibes, blades and plastics. We found fish in four different spots along the Murrumbidgee sitting in holes with not a tree in site.
Carp: plenty being caught on worms and corn. No reports of any being caught on lures.
