sounds like a great week off fishing basscatcher, you certainly live up to your name.Never fished a dam for bass,are spinnerbaits and jackalls always your favs up there.Did you try any surface lures at all,Great haul regardless well done i'd be happy with that

Great work dave,I was chasing bass in the yak the other day and saw some big carp,had a popper on at the time but wouldnt have a bar of it.

Hit the river about 5:45 am penrith side fished with poppers for most of the morn for nothing,Last five chucked on old faithful Got this third cast, went 32 and wrapped itself around every log in the river However this arvo 3:00pm emu side thew old faithful on nothing... threw a cicarda first cast 32 cm ,sorry phone went flat no pics, Second cast 31 cm,over the next hour caught half dozen go figure.Never rated the lure up untill now, they all pretty much hit as soon as they hit the water.Going to give it another crack tomorrow keep you posted?

dam scratch did you kill a chinaman, run over a black cat and walk under a ladder! thats one expensive bass, and yes pull hard they do, fatdog or cicarda?

well done swordie, put in at nepean next time its full of idiots as well but the beuit thing about it is that they all go up stream becaue down river is 4 knots and the rowing club keep a close eye on it.And im pretty sure you could catch four bass in an hour.( dont hold me to that)

So after my recent bass addiction and small adventures with scratchie and troutstalker, I decided to borrow my mates kayak (which i should have done along time ago) i think he has used it twice in two years.With work right on the river at the moment its hard watching the boats go up and down all day. So i left extra early for work saturday morning,With yak on the ute was down at the boat ramp by five am (nepean),Thinking i would be the only there i drove down to the waters edge,Boy was i wrong there were people putting boats in left right and center even blokes fishing off the jetty. Through in the yak and off i went with a small box of my favourite lures Wasn't long before i had my first bass from a yak only small but never the less,Now i'm used to fishing land based so this is all new to me its quite hard trying to reach for plier's and brag mats and cameras, gotta take my hat off to all you yaka's out there.Caught about a dozen small bass around the 20 to 30 cm mark,then made the switch to my fav lure at the moment Through it out and began the to retrieve WAK zzzzzzzz scared the crappers out of me,This thing was going hard and pulling the yak everywhere managed to pull it to the surface and i had my new pb bass im thinking at least 42 cm, scrabbling around for the camera and mat i lost here at the side.Tell you the truth it didn't really bother me now i know theres bass like that in there 5 min from the ramp.Fished for a bit after that for a couple more then looked at the time it was 6:30and i had to go to work time flies in the yak. Anyway the yak lives on my ute now and hope my mate dosen't want it back anytime soon.

Glad to help dean, now you don't have to rush enjoy

Love your work dean , I just started a job on river road opposite the nepean bell, it's hard looking at the river all day, mind you I'm at work early and home late ?

Those fat dogs seem to be doing the trick ATM , just started a job on river road opposite the nepean bell already had a flick this morn and no doubt this arvo ?

i got mine a while ago $50 deposit and they give , sorry lend you a key not sure if they still do it well worth a try, oh by the way the same key opens the gate at russell street emu plains

hey dean nice boat by the way, i leave the dogs as is but only use the shollow divers they seem to pull through the weed better,have lost a few but due to snags not weed and at thirteen dollars a pop im a bit cauctious. most hits are as soon as they land so dragging them back is just a bouns. keen to also hit the bass at night heard they go off,also got a key to the gate at the ramp comes in handy if you dont wanna wait for council to open up

great vid dean, i was also on the water early thismorn land based the cicadas were chirping at 5 am, saw your boat head up river, we managed a few as well biggest going 32,all caught on fatdogs but most on the surface

fish or no fish its always fun fishing with you scratch,Bren and i fished till dark using poppers,dropped two then they shut down, shame about the brother in law what do you do!

good work. the bass are really starting to fire atm,if you can beat the heat,also herd reports of cod up past the weir on big spinner baits.

Wow plz tell me that wasnt at ewen maddock dam up atm hard fishing

6lb mono no leader only just starting to really get into bass fishing, find myself getting up two hrs earlier for work just to have a flick . Then you have the choice of lures really loving my poppers ATM , thinking maybe I've got a problem?, doesn't help when mates send you pics like this 57 cm penrith weir (wow)

Well done lads, I've been stopping of everyday after work for 30 min of flick time it becomes addictive managed one on a popper going 38 and the rest on fat dog shallow divers they ranged from 10 to 30 cm, not seeing much surface action ATM but it's awesome when they hit surface lures you sure know your on

Well done fish311 there some great hairies, I'm thinking there in the hawkesbury all year round but unless you target them you won't get em well done

promised you a bass scratch ,didnt say how big it was going to be , good arvo always fun fishing with you, wanna go carp fishing after lunch tomorrow

well done boys , it was close for a bit there

thx guys sorry about the photos had my little girl take them,also forgot how hard bass go,after selling my tinnie and upgrading to a half cab cant get to the bass spots by water,im thinking kayak, does it ever end

Kids were doing my head in so I grabbed chyna ( my seven year old daughter)and snuck down the nepean for a quick flick.Thought it was going to painfull but she can actually cast very well and only got stuck in the trees about twenty times.Parked near the bridges (emu side), no surface action but thought I'd put a popper on anyway,couple of casts in and got this nice bass,hit like a freight train and put up a good fight Ended up going 38 cm not bad,
