MAGIC  MAROON 30/4/08

Maroon dam is located 60km west of Boonah. The dam itself is small in size compared to those around it, but those who fish the dam on a regular basis know that, what it lacks in size it more than makes up in fish numbers. With cricket score catch’s a common feet on the dam shores. Most if not all impoundment bass techniques work on the lake at any one time, with jackals, spinnerbaits, plastics and surface lures being the favourites amongst the regulars.  As noted, Maroon is an excellent surface bite dam with dawn and dusk being the preferred times, although they will bite well into the day given the right conditions. As along with many of the dams in SE QLD, Maroon has received a rise in water level, which has changed the pattern of the dam’s fishing to some extent. In recent times fish have been holding in water only a couple of hundred millimetres. These fish have been responding to surface lures, lightly weighed and texas rigged soft plastics and shollow diving minnows. Fish are still schooling up and holding on the edges, these fish respond to slow rolling jackals, spinnerbaits and plastics.
