Solid fish Chewy, specially that first one, but unless Andy is a spitting image of his old fella, I dont see any pics of him and a bass attached to a spinnerbait??

Nice stuff, I was gunna go for a flick this arvo out at NPD, but got a bit lazy.

Nice fish.
Love the surface hits! What pound line were you running?
I hear of some people goin up to 20lbs on bass :O:O
Personally i like to go light as possible usually 4-6lb..

Geez Brian,thats not like you...
Bq,it depends a bit where we are fishing and what im throwing.We go as light as 6 lb and as heavy as 20 bot mostly we use 10 or 14. We are at the moment fishin new bass water so are testing the waters.Im a but hesitant to throw an anthrax out on 6 lb as i saw some bass out of here over 60cm b4 xmas. I got wiped out a couple weeksago on my 8 wt flyrod so its a bit of a problem,fish light and lose the bigger fish or fish heavier and just make do with the surface strikes.Its hard finding a happy medium as we are finding to get hits we have to throw behind two or three lay down trees to get a hit. All good fun though.Got some ok video this morning of it

Hey Chew, Your on fire at the moment...!! well done mate. Andy is becoming a good little photographer and fisho.

Thanks for the navigational advice at deepwater the other day, however I didnt feel it nessesary that you dobbed me in to the old girl on facebook!!!;D;D

We had trouble getting livies! Spud got a 38cm jack and we had a few other bustoffs...enough to warrant another crack at it. The night before we got 2 monumental brickings and subsequent bustoffs in a new spot at Myra!! 60lb leader 30lb braid thumb on the spool of the cronarch....no chance.!! I am slightly addicted now!!;D

Yea,it gets like that.There is a spot u n spud will love when baffle clears up. If you throw ur livie too hard it will land on the taverns deck,and its 200 metres from the campstay.just a tip,we have found in a lot of the places up there,the easiest place to get livies is at the ramp b4 u put the boat in,seems they like hanging there.

Nice fish Chewy!

How good are those wise dogs!!!
Green with the silver belly has been the best colour for us.
One of the better topwaters ive used in a while.
