Heath said he targeted yellowbelly exclusively during his stay, although a few Murray cod “spoilt the party every now and then”.
Despite landing a number of fish, Heath only kept two legal yellowbelly, with all Murray cod carefully returned to the water to fight another day, and in compliance with regulations.
Worms once again proved the standout bait, continuing the success Heath experienced on previous trips, and shrimp proved to be a bit of a struggle.
Carp numbers were also pleasingly low, with only a handful caught throughout the fortnight.
“Only a handful full of carp.
“Great two weeks away.”
A regular visitor to Deniliquin for more than 20 years, Heath spends his holidays at McLean Beach Holiday Park.
His latest results suggest yellowbelly remain active despite mixed conditions, providing rewarding fishing opportunities for both locals and visitors as the warmer months continue.
