You can fish all around the day park ar- ea of the lake, we sug- gest to the point in front of the cabins or along the bank right off the day area boat ramp.
Successful spots have been in 1-3m and rock- melon (cantaloupe) has been the standout bait.
If you ever wondered what bass taste like, head in to Somerset Fishing Tackle and ask Peter how he cooks them.
Try around trees, tree stumps or some sort of structure because they won’t venture far for a feed at the moment.
They are actually deli- cious!
The park is alive and super welcoming for visitors.
Not only are they a good sportfish, but a great table fish when cooked correctly, with 40cm the magic mark for the old local chefs.
The kiosk has stock of worms for avid bait fishers as well as cold drinks, coffee and so on.

If you’re chasing a feed of red claw, please adhere to the rules, which means no crab pots.

The red claw captured have been monsters and they show no signs of slowing.
If you want to know where to go, wish to hire a boat or just ask for some help setting up your sounder, don’t hesitate to see the team at Somerset Fishing Tackle.
They are easy to catch and some friends stayed in the park recently and managed a huge feed for all nine of them in one sitting.
Until next month.
