First trip to Maroon Dam last Sunday.
Very windy but only a few spits of rain. Spend a few hours trolling the banks opposite & left of the ramp and the timber up the creek for no action.
Ended up in the weedbeds on the left before you get into the creek. Sounder showed heaps of fish sitting in holes so I decided to set up a drift and use spinnerbaits.
Ended up with 18 bass from 20 to 46cms. All caught on a 1/4 oz twin blade (willows) with brown head and brown skirt with gold flecks. Most bass were hitting hard and mostly getting pinned on the main hook with only a few on the stinger.
Water was 22.2 to 22.4 C and very clear.
Great first trip and can't wait to go back.
