Camden Bass

[swano]

Been itching for a fish so decided to hit the Nepean this morning hoping that it had cleared bit from recent rains.

Looked fishable but still bit dirty.  Started throwing spinnerbaits but had no luck except for a couple of small bumps.

Changed to a black cicada and almost straight away started to see some action with numerous strikes, but no hook ups ?

Was starting to think the hooks were too small or the fish were?  Was thinking of changing when bang, Im on, only small (25cm)

but I just love the way they still smash things on the surface.

Stayed with the cicada and got 3 more fish, 1 very small another 25cm and the biggest 30cm. The itch had been scratched.

Still getting used to Kayak fishing and taking selfies with bass that don't want to behave. One photo looks like I'm trying to look like the bass.

Was using 4lb braid & 6lb leader and the lure was a Tiemco soft shell. Still not sure wether to upsize the hooks?

Fished around the Bypass bridge at Camden.

Merry Xmas and New Year to all

No need to do anything to the SSC hooks.
