rjc123 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Went out this morn for my first bass flick of the season. It's too early to be chasing them on surface so I gave some deeper diving HB's a run. Things were very quiet for a couple hours without a hit but finally i was rewarded on one of those "that deserves a fish" casts. After a good fight on silly string, I landed my first bass of the season. Not big by any means but still a solid little fish at 33 TTT. A little hand crafted HB i bought up on the gold coast a while ago did the damage. Ended up leaving soon after but good to get the season underway! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Well done, Tom! Don't discount the topwater either - a buddy has caught some VERY nice fish in small creeks on soft cicadas, already!! Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Stalker Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 That lure looks a tad like the Halco scorpions also. I haven't heard of Murray Kneebone before, I may have to give them a go. I am looking forward to getting out looking for some bass real soon. Well done Tom. Luc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely give his lures ago I'm fairly sure they are available online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryno_popey Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Definitely definitely dont discount topwater mate. My dad managed a massive 46cm ttt river caught bass on a zman popfrogz. We managed another 3 fish that session all on the same lure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassboy888 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Well done tom! Always nice to get on the board. And early morning and late arvo, the fish WILL hit surface. I was up in the Macleay on opening and we caught over 20 bass on surface, getting them on surface in the dams and around a few local spots they will hit them.
