WINDON Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Last Sunday in the gail winds on the south coast the flatties decided to play. My dad and I went to the back of the creek and with the 4' SMELT (big plastic ,big fish and their choice) we collected about 25 fish ranging from about 40 to 83 cm. My dad had a shocker collecting every tree and snag with I had a blinder, 58, 60 , 65, 74 & 83cm all in about 2 hrs. Then on Tuesday arvo had a bass session and broke in a new Ian Miller bass'r rod purposely built by Ian for the same river we fish, 36 cm first fish on a Mega Bass Griffin and the fish second 40cm on the nose. Caught another 9 fish in the 2 hour session. Up to Coffs this week and will hit the rivers after work, all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennmreid Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Well done on catching some cracker sized fish, particularly that flathead. Good to see that the bass are still firing in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray R Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 G'day mate, great fish there you caught, that's a good couple of sessions, It's a thrill to get new gear and even better to catch a fish or two with it. Good luck up Coffs.. Cheers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Hammond Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Awesome flattes- using bait or lures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tablets Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hey Windon, The millerod looks awesome, it looks like the model reads bush bass'r? Is that correct, could you please post the specs of the rod. Regards Paul.W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDON Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Paul,it is a very new rod the first he has made for a client. To my knowledge he still has not used his. The rod was conceived by my need to through hard bodies(mainly surface lures-jitter bugs,torpedoes etc) from the canoe in certain rivers chasing bass. He showed me one he had just completed for that specific purpose, looked good so I ordered one. Specs are 6'0", 2-5 kg, 3-12 gram lures. I have a baby stella on it with 3kg crystal braid and fish a 6-8lbs Rock FC leader. The rod has lots of power and casts extremely well, from baby griffins to the heavy jitterbugs. I have landed over a dozen so far and two fish at 40cm in two different river systems 700km apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tablets Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Thanks Windon, The specs are very similar to the Wharfie I had, just the lure weights were a little less. Regards Paul.W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
