I got up early once again and hit the water of LS at about 5 15 am this morning. I fished in the vicinity of Forgan Cove,walking the banks looking for any deeper water whilst casting spinnerbaits. Its quite shallow around this area so I covered a fair bit of area casting as I went. The first bass I caught was barely the size of my lure :D, and the next bass I caught was around 20cm, caught about 15 min after the first. Both released.
My biggest ( and last ) fish smashed the lure about 15 metres out from the bank and proceeded to scream off paralleling the shoreline. It was a bit of an arm wrestle for a while- I would get bass close to shore,and off it went again.This went on a couple of times before the bass started to tire and I gently brought it in to shore. I took a couple of pics and measured it, and woohoo- it measured 50cm right on the button.
I released this one as well, geez I love this bass fishing. :D all 3 fish were caught on the same spinnerbait. (gold TT )
As per my two previous trips, things went quite after that and I set off back to the car at around 7 30am. All in all a great couple of hours fishing, I do love the early morning fishing. Might try a couple of surface poppers or the like next time I go.
