Can I ask.

Were you fishing past the narrows in the gorge, or around the bridges and the rowing club

Try using worms with a float through the day and try at night casting at snags using surface lures eventually you should get a big one

Cracker Bass there sokratis .....I reckon the aggressive surface take of a large Bass at night is one of the most exciting fishing experiences in our Rivers and Estuaries

Nice bass there mate, pound for pound they're a powerful fish compared to others and put up great fights.

Hi some of you may know I am quite new to the forums and new to fishing, could someone tell me a decent place along the Nepean River of where I might have some luck. Maybe indicate the road that it is off? I don't have a boat, so it would have to be off land.

Mmmmm, bass on surface lures. not much gets better than bass on the surface, well done mate!
