Hot Bass Bite

[iMick]

Had a great day on the yaks today with Che (Cheder), hit the river just after lunch, the target species was Aussie Bass.

I thought with all the cloud cover I'd have more luck on the surface but it wasn't to be. So down went the Betts spinners and Spinnerbaits.

Medium to Fast roll down deep done the trick, I even fished a 1/2oz Spinnerbait in 12 foot of water burnt fast down low, very effective combination.

Must have caught 20 or more fish between us to about 39cms, stopped taking photos. Had to turn our backs on the bite as we both had family commitments.

All fish caught on 4lb gear. Sorry crappy photos due to phone cam.

Looked like a fun session there Mick and a pity you had to leave a hot bite. I can feel the humidity building this evening, I might have to go toss some surface lures in my local creek.

Nice work and great post Mick.

With the warmer temp today, I decided to hit my local creek as well.

I hit the water about 5pm and I also started out with surface lures.

I could see fish but they just weren't interested.

Switched back to SP's and landed 5 bass around the 25-30cm mark.

I'm loving this warmer weather. The fish are certainly getting the fired up.

Was going to try the surface lures on dark, but was getting really thirsty, so headed on home.

I'll take a bottle of water with me next time.

It was fun, very muggy day though..., tonight will be great on the surface.

thanks... I didn't bring enough water too.

I forgot to add, the Stinger on my spinnerbait accounted for at least 5 fish... Must do I reckon.

Love BIG bass on light tackle.

Nice fish there mate!Well done.

Very,very nice Mick.

They are good sized fish up around the 40cm mark.

Good work fellas.

Cheers Stewy

Thanks again guys.

Bass around that 40cm size are insane on 4lb bream gear. I thought that big one done me over three times before she was landed... but she was just sitting low sulking.

Nothing finesse about our style of bass fishing... wind wind wind wind BANG ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
