marlin1962 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Hi Raiders, Went for another shot at the big bass today,it all started at 4.30am picked up brother-inlaw and headed for the ramp,security guard opened the gate at 4.45 which meant we could be on the water just on daylight. Headed to 1st location as per our plan, started fishing around 5.15am, after about 6 casts my brother-inlaw shouts out im on,as i grab the net i look up to see hardly any bend in his rod, i said to him'' your full of it'' and all of a sudden he brings in his first baby bass. Good start to the day i said to him but they get a lot bigger than that up here. Stayed there for a little longer but no more hits so we moved on to our next location which started to warm up, after an 1hr i landed my first for the day'' still only small '' but bigger than bro's , than came the big mumma after i changed lures, this girl did not want to come to the boat so i took my time with her till she was ready to give up. So now we had pics of little baby bass, little brother bass and big mummy bass all in all not a bad morning on the water, decided to head home early as the ski boats started coming from everywere and i think there were more boats than fish at this time. cherrs marty Edited October 21, 2007 by pops punt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Garn Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Heh Pops Nice coupla fish there mate!!! Bloody skiers, I hate them with a passion!!! they think they own the river!!! Wished they'd stay down near the freeway where they belong!!! Anyhow, I'm off this arvo to wet a line and take my young bloke for his first outing. We'll be targeting Carp!!! Hopefully there will be a good few caught and some good pics for posting. He's only 15 months old but thought it'd be a nice day to initiate him!!!! Drop me an email next time ya need a deck buddy!!!! Cheers PJ Garn (Ask your mates who catches more CARP!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
