Local Bronze Battlers

[Bream Mad]

Hi Raiders,

Been a while since my last report, to be perfectly honest not much around except my local bronze buddies in between the floods.

Been pretty hard to find some clear river time but the last couple of weeks have provided me the water i needed!

Tried upstream on the other side of the river and the action has been HOT!

all lures doing the job but the standouts have been camion sr, lc areas 1/8 spinnerbait, lc nw pencil, shad alive 50.

Had one pool i scored 5 fish in five casts all with the nw pencil, just before the rain came!!!

the fish have not been big but plenty around and always willing to put on a stoush, bass style.

Had an interesting conundrum while dehooking a bass on the back treble. He shook around and promptly deposited the front treble into my hand, i had to reach for the pliers to get his hook out, but everytime i did he shook around and pushed the top treble deeper into my finger eventually i let him go to grab the pliers and dehook him, by this time the top treble was DEEP into my finger, would not come out backwards, so cut off the hook and pushed it out forwards AARG!!.

anyway here are some pics of my local buddies

That looks like some dynamite bass water. Unlucky on the treble, but at least you had the presence of mind to do the right thing.

You have some excellent local water and great to see some quality wild creek Bass inhabiting them. I would love to have a system like that close to home so that I could regularly fish for one of my favorite species

Cheers Paul

Nice fish mate. Were you landbased or in a yak?
