With a last quarter moon (17.6% illumination) and stable barometric pressure at 1013 mb, fishing conditions are favorable. The moderate NE wind and comfortable 26°C temperature should keep fish active, especially during dawn and dusk. Spring warming trends mean bass and sooty grunter are likely feeding in shallower areas near structure.

AI Recommended Times

05:30-08:00 Dawn period with residual moon influence and increasing light; fish are actively feeding after the moonlit night.

17:30-19:30 Dusk feeding period as water cools and insects become active; good for surface strikes.

10:00-12:00 Mid-morning minor solunar period; fish may move to deeper structure as light intensifies.

Recommended Locations

Deep Creek Arm -17.1667,145.5333

Known for submerged timber and creek channels; bass and sooty grunter congregate here in spring. Wind from NE may push baitfish into this arm.

Kauri Creek Arm -17.1500,145.5500

Offers rocky banks and grass beds; good for targeting bass on soft plastics and spinnerbaits. Protected from NE wind to some extent.

Main Basin Drop-offs -17.1333,145.5167

Deep water access near steep banks; fish may hold here during brighter parts of the day. Use sonar to locate schools.

Tinaroo Falls Dam Wall -17.1667,145.5500

Rocky structure and current from spillway attract baitfish; good for shore-based fishing and casting lures.

Recommended Techniques

Surface Lures

Use poppers or walkers early morning and late evening in shallow bays and around submerged timber. The low light and active feeding make surface strikes explosive.

Spinnerbaits

Cast around submerged trees and rocky points. The vibration and flash attract bass and sooty grunter. Retrieve steadily or slow-roll near structure.

Soft Plastics

Rig weedless on offset hooks and fish around grass beds and timber. Use 3-5 inch curl-tail grubs or creature baits in natural colors. Hop or drag along bottom.

Trolling Deep Diving Lures

For covering water in the main basin, troll deep divers along drop-offs. Effective for locating fish schools and covering large areas.

Bait Fishing

Use yabbies or worms on a running sinker rig near creek mouths and timber. Good for silver perch and catfish, especially for shore-based anglers.
