Bream Mad Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi Raiders, After Stewy's good reports i dusted off the Bass gear for another season Headed down to my fav small stream to see if the Bass had returned from their winter business Woke up early this morning and casted into this pool (an old fav) After a short time a typical aggressive Bass smashed my scorpion, the first Bass for the season A nice silverly look to her Well that was enough to fire me up for an arvo session further afield. I slogged though the thick bush and when i finally hit the water this is what greeted me Very pretty but no takers in this pool Then as i made my way upstream i came across a pool that was crawling with Bass First cast in and my lure is hammered and a strong fight ends with a good Bass 30+cm ready for release. I release him downstream so as not to spook the pool and next five casts = five quality Bass all better than 30cm Surely this can't go on but it just gets better the next pool yields my new PB at 35cm here he is Then the Bass just go balistic!! it seems every cast equals a solid hit Whilst fighting one fish i notice a much larger fish chasing it around, so after i release the first i toss out a surface lure downstream and SMACK it is inhaled by a monster that pulls drag like no other Eventualy I cradle he out of the water and take a few snaps of my new PB at 36cm here she is Pretty soon it is dark and i have to go but as i walk past each pool i see Bass rising I lost count but in two hours i would say 15 fish would have been caught and released The most awesome Bass session in my life BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nathan There are a lot of Bass in sydney's west you just have to have a look, too be honest i just went to spot were the road crossed the river, obviously in the frest water and threw in a lure at the nearest snag I recon after about four casts a little Bass smashed it, after that i just expored both up and downstream of that point untill i found the best water. Any tributry of the georges or hawkesbury is worth a look i recon. But be prepared for some serious bush bashing! the stream i fish is so overgown sometimes the only way though is though the water Bass are a fine fish, very aggresive and great fun to catch Cheers BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi BM, Nice tally there! I've just bought a house in Hornsby, maybe once the family and I have settled in we could go out for a session and see if we can get some action on the fly rod? Cheers, Richie.

I am still shaking as i write (sorry no pics) BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
