Pickles Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Newbie Ty, wanted to catch a Bass on a lure. Because the seas and swell have been so crook lately, it was “freshwater or no water”. I promised him 12 fish before 11am. As it was, we boated 22 Bass, by 9 am and finished up with 34 Bass and 2 flathead by 10am and dropped at least a dozen more, many were double hookups. Once the sun came up the fishing slowed up and I didn’t want the young bloke to think fishing is always a “success” (last trip we boated 30 Jewies and 7 flathead). God was good, the moon was right, there was no wind and the tide was perfect. Edited February 12 by Pickles 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD351 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Great work Bob! One of the most addictive things on earth is a hot bass bite - especially when they’re smashing surface lures ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey299 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Well done Bob. I've never caught a bass or ep something that's on my to do list. What sort of lures work well on these guys? Any chance you can PM me the location assuming it's accessible from the kayak? TIA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Nice work there Bob. I still remember the day catching bass on live prawns, on my whiting rod. The rod bent in half like a horseshoe as they powered away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Another successful day on the water Bob. I know that you like to get offshore but you still manage to catch fish and squid regularly while you wait for the weather to come good. Some very nice, healthy Bass pictured.
