Well i went bait fishing for a bit of time out, i arrived and was suprised how much the dam has filled up, last time i was at the dam i could walk accross some parts, now its probably twice the height as me.
Anyway i was using peeled prawns and worms under a float, caught lots of gar which was entertaining. I landed 9 gar biggest went 28cm.
I also found about 15 large dead turtles in the water, it seems as though someone has caught them and just killed them, they were fly blown so they have been there for a couple of days.:(

I didnt take any pics of the gar as i was just catching, unhooking and release.
Any one know how good gar taste? i heard they have alot of tiny bones and it is hard to get meat from them because of that reason.
