Man, I wish we had that species in the U.S.!
When it comes to any freshwater fish species, you can't go wrong with light ballhead jigs and soft plastics of which there hundreds that work. I tinker with lures in my basement, making composites using the parts of two lures. Other than that, I have the molds for over a dozen grub designs that have proven themselves in freshwater and brackish tidal water. Here are a few: Color choice is whatever tickles your fancy; lure design usually conforms to plastic length under 3"; jig weight usually 1/32 - 1/8 oz; 8# test braid with 6# test fluorocarbon leader when casting 1/32-1/16 oz ballhead jigs; light action to med. light action rod; medium size spinning reel for easy casting of light lures. Shoreline or boat angling rules apply: long casts to cover water/ slow retrieves to keep the lure in the strike zone longer/ pauses with rod tip twitches on the retrieve - never a steady retrieve. Bottom jigging also works at times with pauses on the bottom. Other lures obviously work as demonstrated in the many great replies to the post, but the above works for me 100 % of the time especially when fish are less prone to aggression. Hope the above helps. (Still wish we had that species where I fish! Walleye seem to be the closest.)

I LIKE the Stucky lures all ways the go to lure at Burrunjuck for trolling prefer the purple colour. If bobbing around dead trees I use Black curly tail grub these two seem to catch enough yellow belly between them

I've caught more in the past on the smallest plastic boomerang than any other lure. I'm a fan of fishing timber lures a lot more now, but if I had to pick a lure that I was happy to trash and buy again, the boomerang would be it.

Jay, used to do the same with our take on Skirted Jigs. There used to be some jigs heads moulded in a stand up head shape. We would then put a spinnerbait skirt on them then a T tail or curly tail grub over the hook. Cast them out, let them sink, give them an occaisional hop and let lie in between letting the water current do the work.

Spinnerbaits,little deep diving lures all have their days but my favourite yellybelly lure is the gold/black jackall in 60mm size.Was catching yellowbelly around 3-4 kilos on them everyday after the 2010 floods in the Queanbeyan river.Was easy to catch them in the middle of summer but when the water started to cool only people on bait was catching them as they didnt want to expell to much energy chasing food or lures but then one night i read on the jackall website that when the jackall lure is allowed to sink to the bottom it sits head down with arse up wiggling.This action imitates fleeing baitfish trying to get under rocks.Anyway with the water cooling i tried this method and the yellowbelly would pick the lure up off the bottom and eat it,hooking themselves in the process.Now to catch a yellowbelly without retrieving a lure that must rate high as the hook themselves without you doing nothing but setting the hooks.Anyone else know this secret?

Hi Nick, I have fished the Condamine River near Warwick for 20 plus years for yellas. I have used and lost numerous types/brands of lures. My fishing comprises of trolling and casting the deeper locations, any areas greater than 8 feet.The most successfull has been the stubby Manns 10 or 15 ft plus in black and silver. Hope this helps. Cheers Ian

My 1st lure of choice on yellowbelly is yellow body with black.
Once you find them stay in the area, there will usually 1 more at least, I find they tend to travel in pairs. Cheers, John.

Spinnerbaits are deadly on yellas young fella and are reasonably well priced as well. I've had a lot of success on white with gold blades. Play around with retrieves and depths when letting them sink. Don't be afraid to throw them at the ugliest looking spots where you fish. Try and lose your lure with every cast and you should catch some fish. By that I mean don't be afraid of snags or rocks etc.
Have fun whilst doing it, cheers |

Nick, anything that is 60 - 100mm in the body will do for Yellowbelly, and a shape like a small Cod lure should be fine. also consider some shallower divers if you are hitting the rivers and larger creeks.
My faves would be about the size of Manns 10+ lures. Something with a nice strong action and good flotation for backing out of snags. Brad |

Hello Nick. My go to lure in creeks and dams is a spinnerbait. They do not get snagged as often as a hard body lure. Work them down around the snags and you will be alright . Tight lines Chris
