rjc123 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Had a quick late arvo bass flick late last week. Having hear that the surface bite is underway I was keen to give it a try. Only problem was that I had none of my favourite bass topwaters on me... Tied on a Maria Pencil (one of the best bream stickbaits around) and gave it a go. After 10 minutes it was engulfed by a cracker of a bass. After steering it away from the snags, it came in fairly easily. Measured it up top be 42.5cm to the tip and 40 TTF (to the fork). Nearly beat my overall lure pb just missing out by half a cm. I think it would be fairly safe to say that stick baits are an option on bass after finding out first hand.

bassboy888 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I will second ice man on the green sammys.... but you didnt hear it from me. Stick baits have to be one of my favourite searching baits for bass this time of year, cast a mile and sits right in the bass' face on the pause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendong Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm with iceman and bass boy and give the thumbs up to pencils. My pb bass came on a nw pencil earlier this year. Great fish mate...would have gone like the clappers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Great Bass. I'm surprised it didn't give you more of a fight... it's in amazing condition... almost as fat as me!! Bass on surface is hard to beat. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
