Rah Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 G'day Raiders, I've been lucky enough to go fishing every morning since Thursday while down the coast. 5am start each day. Thursday headed down to my favourite flattie spot on the Shoalhaven river. first cast and I was on to my first fish of the morning. cheering. couple more casts and I was on again. Then it completely went dead while there was a jelly fish invasion. Only 1 more undersize flattie for the morning. Decided it was time to drag the yak out of hiding now that it's warmed up in the mornings to hit the Creek that runs through our property. I haven't managed to get any bass this season so it was great to have the reel screaming again with some solid bass coming aboard. Managed to match my PB of 35cm on the second morning to get an upgrade to 37cm only a couple of casts later. There is nothing like seeing a big bass smash a surface lure only 10 metres from you. Once the surface action stopped I switched to a small spinner, which only seems to be producing smaller bass about 25cm. No fish wanted to play this morning. Either they are onto me or the mist had put them off. Time to head further down the Creek to see if I can't fool some more bass. Hopefully get another PB upgrade over the next couple of days.

Looks like a real nice area you are fishing. Really is a great place to fish. the Creek joins up the the Shoalhaven eventually. heaps of wild life around at the moment too. ducks, water dragons and water rats about everywhere. Always fun when a water dragon wants your lure and follows it back to the yak. ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hawkesbass Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Very nice couple of sessions. Bass get lure shy when targeted consistantly. Try different secrions of the creek each trip giving the water you worked the day before a rest and find new snags/weedbeds too flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might have been something like this. Unfortunately the next stretch of Creek is a hundred metres yak drag away so I wasn't really feeling it this morning, but have got it all ready to go for first light in the morning. the next stretch is much larger so I'm hoping there will be some good snags down there waiting for me.

Scratchie Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Great work Tara. Some solid fish there indeed. Congrats on your PB! Wait until you get a football bass in the high forties, they are a real challenge and know where every snag in the river is! Great fun good luck on your next trip! Cheers scratchie!!!
