BASSSSSSSS! ..... Thats the target species up there
If you have a canoe ..... even better
We crossed the river a couple of weeks back on the way to Qld ...... It still looks chocked with weed
Forget bait ( you'll score catfish & Carp) ..... Use soft plastics ( drop shots) .... or some hard body lures ( River2Sea poppers & cicadas) are working for a mate that is fishing not too far from there at Yarramundi.
Also contact the Australian Bass Angler in Penrith for some local advice !
