Lake St Clair 1/5/2013

So this week I planned an early morning fishing trip with my Dad. He taught me most of what I know now and he is the reason I love fishing and the bush and can appreciate and enjoy it without destroying it. So thank you for everything you have taught me so far.
Alright so we left at 4am, got up there on daybreak and it was a beautiful morning. A bit of cloud cover, not really hot and the dam was sitting higher than when we were last there by about a metre.
I spotted a few wallabies on the hill behind us and I missed them with the camera but they were still a great sight.

We got into the fish early, with dad pulling in a nice little Bass about 30cm first up.

I got the biggest one at 41cm and between us we pulled out 6 Bass all 30cm+.

We had no luck on lures this time, but they were loving the grubs and garden worms.

I'd love nothing more than to spend every day doing this, but the real world doesn't let me.

Lake St Clair is still fishing great and is a beautiful spot. The water was clean, the fish were very healthy and are stocked frequently so I will definitely be back there again soon. I would love to get a Golden Perch as I haven't caught one yet so I will try to focus more on them next time.
The Singleton Tourism website says that the dam is stocked with Australian Bass, Golden Perch and Silver Perch. I am yet to hear of a silver coming of there but if it's stocked then I'm sure they have been caught. I will look further into this too.

I'll post next time I get out.

Cheers,
Andrew
