Bream Mad Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hi Raiders, Whilst fishing in my usual spot in crosslands a while ago I spoke to another fisherman who mentioned that there was bass is the upper reaches of Berowa creek Only one way to find out i thought so yesterday arvo i hit the river upstream of the rapids in the freshwater zone. Water did not realy look fanstastic but my previous trout experience has taught me big fish can live in small water providing there is good cover. First pool was shallow but packed full of timber and overhanging trees Not really knowing were to start i rigged up an unleaded squidgy bug and cast towards the visible snags. Third cast as I pulled the bug over the top of submerged log it is smashed by a fiesty little aussie Bass. Stoked my first ever Bass and plenty more to come I recon, all less then 10mins from my back door, he,he BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bream Mad Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Went back this morning before work for a surface session and what fun i had Started with a Kokoda Bat and this time let the lure sit for a while before a few twitches and then a slow retreive with plenty of pauses. A missed strike i stop the lure and he comes back and just nails it off the top First Bass on surface and what a buzz!!! better than fishing dries for trout i recon because the bass have no trouble engulfing the whole lure Then moved to a deeper pool and switched to a R2S Buggie Pop, two more missed stirkes before a little fellow finaly stays attached this Bass thing is getting adictive BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
