    !st Bass in long time

    in Freshwater Fishing Reports

    Posted · Edited by Ironbark

    Well after reading many reports and reading plenty of mags i finally put all that knowledge gained and took my son on his try at bass fishing,and also my 1st in a very long time as well.After a bit of walk we hit the river and started to head up stream and try a few spots as we came to them.The second stop which we had to clamber over some large rocks to get a cast in was were i finally hooked up.Using a cicada shaped lure all in black from the $2.00 bargain bins i hooked up on my 1st surface bass,1 big splash my son Tim yells "dad you got one" bit of a tug of war later had it up on the rocks not a big one but still a bass. A quick pic and sent him on his way,bush bashed our way up stream again had a few followers but that was it for the rest of the day. Have to go back so Tim can try to land one,and need to keep a look out for some more of those cicada bargain lures...........Gav

    A little advice here for the flying fox,dont muck about with them they can have the Australian Bat Lyssavirus, ( like rabies ) thats if u get bitten or scratched.They also need to climp so they can swoop down to get air under there wings to fly so if your in the way they will climp up you.

    are there are numbers on the side of the bearings?if so you could go to say bearing place like BBC bearings ( i think its called that)or do a google search on bearing suppliers.If all else fails take the wheels to the bearing joint and see if they an match'em up...................

    Bassing With Rizzo

    nice bass

    I have fished there a few times and have not caught a thing,if guys decide to go up stream or down in a yak or canoe let me know i wouldn't mind joining in with my canoe, i think there is a small jeti/warf looking structure being built up past the bridge mite be ok to launch from there as it looks like there is plenty of parking.

    Were To Launch A Canoe

    Posted · Edited by Ironbark

    Hi all

    Were is a good place to launch a canoe on the nepean other than the boat ramps?or can you catch bass near the ramps? ( near Penrith )

    Last time i fished the nepean was in a tinny and we traveled a fair way (way to far to paddle)

    Thanks Gav

    yeah Roddy there are 2 ramps the one u spoke of ( i still remember the mud flats as well)and the other just up near the bridge,plus opposite the canoe/boat hire shed (if thats still there) or further up there is another ramp that is used by the people who live up on the river ( but you prob know all of these any way)
