nat Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, Decicded to take advantage of the break in the weather yesterday & headed out in the yak to chase my little bronze buddies.. Got to the carpark & it was full of vans & trucks I nearly turned around & went home thinking the river was full of yakers. It turns out they were a film crew shooting scenes for packed to the rafters, yay!! I was the only one out. After about ten minutes my soft shell cicada got smashed & the little bugger ran straight into the sticks, lucky for me I was running 15pd leader!!! Lost the fish but managed to get my lure back. Not long after I got smashed again & this time she ran out into the open & after a good fight I landed this very healthy looking bass. As I reached into the net I noticed it was tagged so I got the id number took a quick snap & made sure she swam away to fight another day. The bite went off when the wind picked up so I flicked all the back with 1 more small fish. Bumped into some guys in a canadian & a yak who only caught 1 between them. It has been a little quite this year I put in down to the crap weather. Hopefully it will improve & the cicadas will start singing soon?? When I got home I emailed the details through to the appropriate organization & knocked back a cold one. Oh yeah & i nailed a 44cm a couple of weeks ago back upstream when the water was running really quick from all the rain but no photo. Got that one on a atomic sub surface... Fancy not having a photo of your pb!!!! Edited December 14, 2011 by nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccmark Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Nice One Mate, They tagged about 200 fish when they rebuilt the fishways Bass, carp, eels and catfish. I got two with tags just after the weirs were finished. They sent me out a couple of cod lures for my Troubles and gave me the history of the fish. Cheers Edited December 14, 2011 by mccmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Nice solid bass. I know of a few tagged fish being caught this season, Should provide fisheries with some useful information. The recent rain has certainly slowed the fishing. Hopefully the warm weather will be back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
