Rick T Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 G’day Fishraiders A quick report from out west, after taking care of bubs most of the weekend I got a few hours off yesterday avo so I picked Mick up from work at 4pm and we headed to Windsor for some bassin’. Fairly windy and tide moving at a fair pace we struggled with surface so we changed to eyeball tail grubs and TN50 Jackals. Mick was the first to hook up and to our surprise he landed a nice Perch of around 30cm. We have heard of them being caught that far down but never seen it and it is the first time we have caught one on a reaction style lure such as the jackals. We ended up boating around 15 or so bass after that with the biggest at 36cm. This was the first time I have had a reasonable bend in the battler, I caught it with a cast an inch from a log and basically locked up drag to get the fish from busting me off. First time ever I forgot my camera but Mick took a few picks with his phone of some fish in the live well but not sure how good they will turn out.

Guest Jocool Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 (edited) Sounds like a fun few hours for you Rick. I had a delivery to Lower Portland on Friday. Some interesting looking stretches of the river along there! I'm sorely tempted to go out west...(North) and give it a shot. All you guys that fish the upper reaches, will I have any dramas with a deeper type hull? Should I be looking out for anything in particular as far as hazzards go?

Narralakes Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Good fishing Rick and Mick, I am hoping another bass session b4 the season is out. That 36er is a big fish for one caught in the wild, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BREAMAHOLICK Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Well done boys sounds like an enjoyable few hours on the old hawks. good 2 c a few bass around might have 2 get down there some time soon. Or i might duck away with the misses and go see how Glenbawn is doing . Its been a while since i felt that pounding hit off a big fat dam bass. Puts a shiver down my spine every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
