I reckon bass would have to be one of the best sportfish in the fresh or salt. have a look at the little fella that belted this lure.
Myself and Themissus were down in Lennox for saturday night staying with freinds and we were due to head down to evans head for my Boardriders club round but due to lack of waves it was cancelled. Being prepared for such a situation we altered plans for to a leisurely sunday drive and a bit of a fish. A workmate of Themissus had mentioned a spot down that way so we set off to find it. Not too difficult as it turns out. Anyway after a bit of treking down a slippery track we started casting into the pool at the base of the falls. after a about 1 hour, I was winning the tournament 2-1. The squidgy wriggler with a small gold beetle spin was the winning formula. I should add that Themisses cought her bass on my combo after a snag incident required me to put the killer combo down :P :P and my second was caught on her combo after i extricated the lure from the snag. ;D ;D. The next hour or so was spent walking down stream to a few other fishy looking pools. I lost another small fish at my feet when it popped out from the ledge under my feet to smash the lure as i retreived it back through some fast running water at the front of a small shallow pool. We finally called it quits at midday after this little baby bass monstered my lure in the middle of a large slow moving pool. Final tally was 3 landed to 1 and i should add that they gradually got smaller as we moved downstream. I spoke with the original informant and I'm told if I go a lttle further down below another set of rapids they tend to find the bigger specimens down there. Next time maybe.
Great morning, wouldn't be dead for quids. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
cheers, Roo [smiley=cowboy.gif]. (and Themissus [smiley=gorgeous.gif])
