Mat Corra Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) Hi Raiders Last Saturday i was invited by Marty (Pops Punt ) for a fish at nepean river. We hit the ramp running at 5am and found a couple of likley looking spots and a few cast's later my line straightend an i was onto my first ever bass. A good fight took place before it was netted. In all my excitment i forgot to weigh the fish before releasing it. A new spot was chosen and using the same lure i was on again and i would be very suprised if the residence of penrith didnt hear me but this fish was 50cm +. As i eased the fish towards the boat to be netted it took one last dive and to my disapointment my not had let go on the quick release clip. I am now hooked on this type of fishing and cant wait till the next trip. I would like to thank Pops Punt for a great day one i will remember for a long time. Also thanks to Watto for his lure advise Cheers Mat Edited October 18, 2007 by All Bard Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest esky6 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Congratulations on your first Bass. I scored my first Bass only a month ago. Don't the buggers go for it when hooked. Scored them on spinners. What bait/lure did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
