marlin1962 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 hi raiders, caught my first fish on a lure in fresh water (bass) went down to nepean about 9am went straight towards the dam , found a couple of dead tree's in the water so we thought this is a good as spot as any ( had no clue if it was good or not) fished for at least 2hrs not a strike, looked in my pops old tackle box and found a silver looking lure with red beads so i gave it a go,5mins bang - - i neally sh-t myself when it took off ,i was so stoked to catch a fish on a lure, don't get me wrong iv'e caught plenty of game fish on lures but never fished freshwater,as watto said to me it can be addictive ,your not wrong watto.it just felt so good to catch my first 2 bass and watch them swim away to be caught again later in life. took a pic of the first one and you wouldn't believe battery's flat in camera (not happy jan).all in all good first freshwater fishing experiance yee-ha. marty. PS. THANKS WATTO FOR YOUR ADVICE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mako1 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Congrats Marty on catching your first bass and on a lure. Next thing you know you'll have a tacklebox full of new bass lures. Never fished for bass but with all of these reports I think I'll have to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregL Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Nothing like bass hitting a lure when you least expect it. Well done on your first of many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billythekid Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Well done and you hit the nail on the head, my first hook up I sh-t myself also. But what a feeling and addictive is an understatement of what will happen to you now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
