mottyman Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hi guys and girls, I scored a great Bass from below the Nepean Weir today - my first ever from down that way. Arrived very early and fished normal spots about the weir for not even a little fella so decided to do some exploring. Just hopped down the river a little way and found a deeper little channel with fast flowing running water into it so cast a spinner and grub down stream. On the 3rd cast the lure got absolutely smashed and the drag was singing its head off. The fish put up a great fight and had the drag singing two more times before I landed it. Also saw some massive MASSIVE carp and even got one to mouth a spinner right near the bank but couldn't get one. Geez they're big!!!! Anyway, here's some pics of this morning's efforts... Oh, and I scored a micro bass bush bashing a bit further down as well... Cheers David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmoshe Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Very nice bass David. Tangling with those monster carp might be fun if you can work out what they want to eat. Pretty spot BTW. Cheers, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Pete G'day Pete, There were heaps of carp, I managed to count seven before I spooked them, right in close to the bank burrowing into the mud, I assume for worms and stuff. I got really close to them, I could have clobbered one with a big stick if I was quick enough.... When I spooked them they all broke the surface in a huge splash - got the heart beating a little quicker... I imagine some of them were right up there around the 60cm mark and over... they had tails like shovels. I might give them a go to thin them out a bit if I can... there's just so many big buggers down there below the weir.... Cheers David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abiasin Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 great work on the bass there mate, the carp are mad down there and hard to catch let alone land with the amount o snags around the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Great effort Motty. There's something special about nailing a couple of Bass when you put the effort in & explore a little. It sounds like the Nepean is on fire atm. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
