Upper Hawkesbury Wild Stream Bass

[Bream Mad]

Hi Raiders.

Doing some Bass exploring in the upper reaches (non tidal) zone. these are the types of places you can only reach after a hard slog though the thick vegetation. But once you get you are in for a treat as the Bass are quite willing to smash surface lures all day long

This is my favourite pool and full of feisty little Bass 20-30cm.

As i am new to this Bass game i tried a few different lures but mostly had sucess on shallow divers (SX40, Scorpion 35) and surface lures (Bats, Buggie pops). The good thing about floating divers is often you can draw a surface strike by just twitching them on the top

After landing 7 fish from the first pool I tied on a Kokoda bat hopping to lure a larger specimen.

Twitch, twitch, smash!! this guy gave me plenty of curry on my 2kg fluro but eventually got him to pose for a few pics before letting him go he went just under 30cm

Tied on my new scorpion and came up tight on my first cast

Eventually after catching three fish it was sacrificed to the tree gods

Thought i would give the SX40 (302) a go and it just brained them!!

Finally back to the buggie pop and a typical splashy take near the weed beds, he ,he

This Bassing is getting adictive

Sounds like a top session there BM,

I have been bitten by the Bass Bug also and really enjoy the scenery where I have been fishing for them.
