Dan1977 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 G'day Raiders Headed down the nepean yesterday arvo for a bass session. Bought a cheap arse betts spinner bait (green grub) to try and what do you know third cast and this fella in the picture smashed it. Only around 25cms but he hit it hard. Interestingly the first part of his dorsal fin was missing - not sure if he was mauled by something or a defect. Didn't affect his hunger though Moved along the bank and after not getting anything else and the sun setting changed to a jitterbug. Cast along the edge and had the thing absolutely smashed, but no hook up. Went there again and same, again no hook up. Bugger, oh well first bass nailed for the season and the first I've ever got on a spinnerbait. Cheers Tommy G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickN Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Good work mate! Now you will have a new toy to play with this summer which should produce many bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hey Tommy... always a buzz getting any kind of first. I still don't quite understand why spinnerbaits work so well and why the fish nail the skirt with the hook and not the blades but they certainly catch fish. Nice little bronzie mate. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 NIce work Tommy, the betts spins have been nailing a few around windsor as well. I have been attaching a wriggler tail and smearing it in S factor for best results. Hope you get some more MItch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forliano Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Well done on first for the season and first on the spinner... Bass fishing is at its best I reckon in the arvo/night with the surface lures, all quiet then SPLASH BANG BOOM... Fair to say once you catch one, you become addicted to Bass...

Cheers Ben Had a bit of a go yesterday arvo Ben on the surface lure and got two, one a little smaller in size to the one I got on the spinner and the other one was about the same size as the jitterbug I was using!!! Shows how aggresive the species are doesn't it? I had about 6 other hits but no hookups unfortunately.. TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottyman Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Nice work mate. Sounds like the bass season has started so I better get down there. I really only use two lures down there. The betts spins with a 2inch grub before sunset and as the sun goes down switch to a kokoda bat fishing into dark. Both work really well and its so much fun. Cheers David.
