high_speed_metal Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Well, After spending some well earned hrs on searching the coast for bass I found my "spot X" rocked up after the long painful walk to sit down and have a cigarette and seen a bug get taken from the surface by what I knew was a monster bass! Instantly my smoke was put in my butt bin and my black Fred Arbogas JitterBug I found on my last Cod trip hit the water, First cast I got a massive surface hit and miss, then another miss then smack my rod was begging for mercy!!! I could not believe it first cast and a bass over 40cms, Quick photos and back in the water.. Shaking like I just had a near death experience the bug was on the water and I %&^% you not INSTANT strike that was even bigger!!! this one I dropped at the bank as I did not have a net but it was at least 55cms!! this went on for the 40mins I was there I landed 3 fish and lost 2 solid hook ups at the bank all on the Fred Arbogas JitterBug that I found on my last cod trip so even better... here are some photos.. The bigger one up against my rod is at least 52cms.. And FAT! Is that any kind of Fishraider record?

Luke K Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Mate they are some serious bass you got there, well done! If you don't mind me asking. do you think there would be some bass lurking in some of the creeks and ponds along the Great north walk around the Somersby and Piles creek areas? I ask because I often do a bit hiking in these areas and was considering taking a rod with me. What do you think? PM me if nesseccary Cheers Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
