Lake Callamondah
Where is it ? in the centre of Gladstone....even has a boat ramp ! and is stocked with Barra...So put the little tinnie in.... just using the elect... went along the wall that overflows{ When we get some rain}...Using a Richo,s Extracta #red/Yellow #3 cast on...headed straight for the boat under it and off...5min goes by ... casting to the water lilles #big boil behind the lure ...next cast on again..53cm in the boat...5 min #on again this one is 50 cm....Only small fish in here ...yea right....Bang...smashed...This fish is no small fry....one jump...and off.... over a metre ..and it has pulled the wire out of where #the front treble hooks on...They didnt seem to like any other lures ....l will be back again...Me thinks there is some rather large barra in there

Re: Lake Callamondah
Don't try eating any of them as they are shocking. I wonder if you knew that the happy valley lagoon has barra in it as well as there were fingerlings put in there a few years ago but there are no fishing signs there. I have a mate who lives close by and he sneaks down to test his lures there and has pulled out a few small barra and that was a couple of years ago so they must be getting big now.

Re: Lake Callamondah
hey awoonga i fish at callemondah all the itme off the black pipe behind Kmart...1st time i ever went got 3 barra and lost 2 good size ones!!!! I got one right up to the pipe and i really think it was around the 90cm mark it was a snodger! But as soon as i got it 2 the pipe i had no way of landing it so it had a bit of a flick n swam off...But the others were sort of from the 50cm mark to about 70 cm ... I have been going a few afternoons a week for a look but have had no sign of fish lately.. bit dissapointing really. But still havent got any bigger than that one i had infront of my eyes!!!!

Re: Lake Callamondah
still-water,
lake puddle, or lake callemondah as it is really known, gets your hopes up before you go and fish in the big sea of lake awoonga! its a confidence booster......... so they tell me. i'm sure the duck pond would do the same. puts u in a positive mind before losing the plot during competition.............! day 2,,, if only i could sneak back to callemondah!!
*best of luck in the ABT , Trev and co.
