Lake Lenthall is on your doorstep. Plenty of edible bass. Monduran is not far up the road with plenty of Barra. Google them.

Road in can be a bit rough at times. 4 stroke under 60hp only,Short stay camping only,
Monduran no limits on motor. Barra in both dams can be a bit ordinary depends on your taste buds and how you cook it Maybe I am a bit fussy because the grey nomads fill their freezers with barra,Bass also in Monduran, If you come further south plenty of bass and yellas but no barra jus tcheck each dam as some are leccy only,

I don't bother personally. Fresh is for fun. Salt is for the table.
It sounds like you haven't had the pleasure of eating an impoundment fish ::) ..... If that's the reasoning behind it , you'll be greatly disappointed . Sure people do it (Grey nomads) but when you drill down to hear of what is involved to bring a fish up to a palatable standard ...... why would you bother ?
I've tried barra , bass , Yellas & sooties ..... nah

Nothing wrong with bass that is prepared correctly, Bleed and ice asap and remove fat when filleting.Fish from dams that do not have boney bream as food source are a better quality fish,Fish around the38cm mark provide a good size fillet with minimum of fat. I smoke yellas and only take fish under 40cm. Dam barra dust the fillets with curry powder and only if you have run out of spam or old boots,( Once again only smaller fish) I have not eaten bass from mondy but the forkies from there are better than the barra.

& the same method can be used to prepare Tofu & an old thong ::) & you probably could taste the difference ;)Quote:
