Luke K Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi Everyone, Well a couple of weeks ago I posted the first e.p I've seen in the narra lake. I also said how jealous I was that it was not me who caught it, but a good friend. Well if you believe in karma, I think I got the sweet end of it. I went down to narra lakes this arvo for a quick session up deep creek in the yak. It was a bit on the quiet side as far as hits were concerned, although there was quite a bit of surface activity. After about half an hour I got a legal bream and then straight after that I got a massive hit near an overhanging branch. At first i thought I had caught the branch, but then it started moving sideways. After a good tussle I finally landed this big girl, took a few picks and then I released her. I was stoked. Cheers Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke K Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hey Stewy, Could be a bass but I find it hard to tell the difference. I also Didn't think you would get bass in the salt this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARP1980 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 It's definately a bass by the look of it. Doesn't have the EP shaped head. Nice fish anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan1977 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I recently saw a fishing program that mentioned research into the possibilty of EP's and bass inter-breeding. I've caught a couple of bass in the nepean that looked a bit ep-like in the head. Pretty interesting but then again I don't have much on TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
