Rah Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 G'day Raiders, Been back on the water at first light the last 2 mornings to chase some bass, and the bass gods have smiled on me with some great fish. Yesterday I managed to land 12 fish with 3 big girls throwing the hooks yak side. Biggest matching my PB from the other week. The brother in law was keen to get his first bass on a lure so he joined me this morning. The Creek is to skinny to fish side by side in the yaks so with a few quick pointers and a stern warning that if he looses my lure to a bad cast into the tree he owes me 30 bucks I set him off in front so he couple hopefully get one hooked up. It only took about 10 minutes (and a couple of lure retrievals from low branches) for him to have his first bass on a surface lure yak side. In the next 30 minuteshe had landed another 2 and it was time for him to head off back home. He was cheering and couple believe how much fun it was. I had no plans for the morning so I headed further down the Creek to see if I couldn't temp some fish myself. 5 minutes later and I had my first for the morning. Saw a very fishing looking spot up under some lantana that I knew had to hold some fish. As soon as the lure hit the water there was an explosion on the surface and my cicada was smashed. A great fight followed before I could get her in the yak,she was a big fish and before I could get myself organised there was some flipping around and she was back in the water. Luckily with the lure still in her gob. So I fight her again, and back in the yak. I was better prepared and got the measure on her and a new PB ofor just under 40cm. Yahhhhhh!!!!! Quick snap and she was back in the water. Landed another 3 for the morning, but they couldn't match the new PB. Great couple of mornings but looking forward to not waking at 5am tomorrow.

Guest hawkesbass Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Very nice couple of days chasing the bass. Nothing beats a bass hit on a surface lure. Starting to get a itch for some bass action myself now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
