PJ Garn Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hi Raiders Just to let you know I dropped down our lovely Nepean yesterday arvo for a quickie!!! It was overcast and drizzling slightly but was warm and perfect for throwing a few about!!! I headed for a stretch of the river that I'd never been to before and with my new Baby Vibs (Brown & Green 35mm) in my pocket I explored new territory!!! As you can see this water is very Bassy... beautiful little rapids running into deep pools overhung by willows, with snag after snag to explore!!! I was in heaven!!! After several hits and failing to hook up, I finally landed a small bass (15cm) on a purple Baby Vib!!! So I changed colour to the translucent brown and straight away hooked up again on another small model!!! A couple of fish later I decided to change again to the Green... same result another beautiful small bass!!! I lost count of the fish I caught (5 or 6 I think) none were of any size but what a top hour and a bit I had me!!! On the way back to the car... and still exploring; I came across a little weedy bay with several nice Carp basking in the shallows. I changed to a Goldfish pattern lure and threw it right at these fish!!! As I had predicted they ignored it... and amazingly weren't spooked... what a pity I didn't have a float and some bread!!!! Got a nice shot of a Carp cruising... look just above half way up in the middle of the shot!!!! Cheers PJ Garn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant180 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hehe i know that stretch of water like the back of my hand. Amazing how many great patches of water there are that you would never know were so close to civilisation. The nepean river is a top system!

Guest rzep Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I haven't been down to that stretch of river for about 20 years. I think it is about time that I made another trip down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
