Sounds like a gr8 trip there ........ 2 well regarded sooty impoundments there!
My catches have been by catch only ........ but they do frequent the same type of structure - laydowns & weed
Dont treat them as big bass ....... These bad boys pull hard & play dirty ....
Light barra gear is better than bass gear (20-30lb) .... specially when fishing the timbered areas -
The old creek beds would be my target area
Lures .... small barra lures will work ( Flatz rap , River rats , Scorpions etc + throw in a spinnerbait or two !
I Might even throw a couple at Teemburra ...... when I'm there in 3 weeks time
Anyhow ...... From what I hear Eungella is an awesome place - Hope you do well!

PS ...Attachment 37110. This little Teemburra fella was taken throwing scorpion Skin deeps between the weed patches ( in the background) ....... we got a couple & missed a couple more amongst the small barra
