bassboy888 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 What a weekend, Just spent 4 days at the gorge. managed 8 fish with 3 over 40cm and one of which was a 50cm. Instead of the detailed report of which I cant get the beauty of the gorge check out this video I made of the trip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR79CUTv37Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Great scenery and terrific fish taken on various lure configurations (I like the blades fished under the beetle spins - deadly on most freshwater fish including yellas). Another top report mate. Keep 'em coming! Cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassboy888 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 thanks for the replies guys! Hodgey, I'd only ust recently seen the blade/ betts spin combo and thought why not try it. Im glad i did now, just another technique for the arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Well done!! Top video & blog!! Since the rain, the bass have really 'come on'!! Our local creeks had virtually stopped 'running' due to lack of rain up til last week! Yep, the blade/betts spin is the 'go to' lure just now for bass - it won the ABT Yak Bass Grand Final last weekend at Toonumbar for Jon Chen!! He will now be one of the 'bass fishos' on the AFC TV Comp next year!! You should look at doing the Bass Comps next year!! cheers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmak Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hey great video Bassboy888. There's some full on boat driving close to rocks there man, scary stuff!! You've caught Hank's wild cousin at the Gorge eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendong Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 How good is the Gorge! We had a Trip planned a few years back but the place got smashed with rain for 3 days straight so we went to coota instead. Then I sold my tinny and got my new boat which is probably a little too big for the gorge. My couz fished it and pulled some sumo's too a few years back. Awesome part of the world...great vid too mate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Stalker Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Looks like a blast bud! Great place to have a fish with some very serene atmos. Very jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassboy888 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Roberta: I saw a photo of him with the bets/blade combo before I went on the trip and it was the inspiration for the technique. I fished a few of the comps this year and looking at doing all the southern bass rounds next year (ABT and BETS) Yea PMAK I found Hanks wil cousin, she was a beauty!

arpie Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Cool!! Jon is a good bloke - I've fished with him many times up here & pretty well put him onto his first bream on topwater! He only did the 2 bass comps & won them both! (2nd one being the Grand Final!!) Also the only times he has ever bass fished!! He goes for cod & bream normally! cheers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassboy888 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Wow, talk about fishing ability! a bit of natural instinct there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I guess you could say all 3 species are a bit similar, habitat wise ...... structure, shelter & shade? I'll be trying the blade on a betts trick next time I am on 'fresh' too! My buddy Michelle caught fish on the blade/betts combo in the GF on them too. She's mainly a bream fisho but fished 2 or 3 of the bass rounds (after having 2 practise runs on Lake St Clair) & was lucky enough to get a Wild Card into the GF - she was stoked that there were quite a few blokes behind her at the end of day 2! AND she caught both days, whilst some really good bass fishos didn't - and 2 had donuts both days!! One of them is a TOP bass fisho, too from Qld - often fly fishes for them in preference to lures!!

bassboy888 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Go Michelle! I reckon it would work in the salt on Jews/flatty too! They are similar but as we all know bass can be temperamental little buggers. Especially with all that pressure during a comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Great vid Bassboy, the gorge looks awesome. Always wanted to fish it just haven't got around to it yet. Some quality fish, 8 over 4 days, is that normal or was the fishing slow? I'm headed up to the Nymboida in just over a week, hopefully I come back with similar results. Cheers, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassboy888 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thanks Dean. The fishing though was unfortunately slow, probably didn't help that I couldn't get the arvo session and the group of guys I was with weren't as keen. The gorge is an awesome place. I would recommend Any die hard bass-o to get up there! Good luck on your trip hopefully you get some bigguns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul.kenny Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Stu - awesome sessions. I can't wait to head up there with you next year, but we won't be taking the new boat PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
