winter bass going off

[elephrez1]

me and the cowboy went out for a early morning fish at the local dam. the morning was slow with 1 silver and 1 50 cm yella and a small bass. We move spots to find some schooled bass. we were getting them by slowly trolling jackalls around till we found the schools and casted them up.
I was fish with 2kg mono, so i could achieve some hundred pointers( if you are an ANSA member you would know what i'm talking about.

all in all it was a great day on the water with a loss of count on how many fish we caught,

bloody hell :o good fish there elephres1. What local dam would that be my friend?

[gregdeeth]

nice fishes

[aaron_gilmour]

Looking at those pics I would say Moogerah dam ;)

Congrats on the good bass. I have not really done well there and usually fish maroon instead. Are the bass starting to school in the deeper water? Did you try any edges as well?

Cheers

Nice catch charles did you catch them all and get cowboy to hold them up for you.

[Creek_Vermin]

G'day charles and Cowboy. It's a shame they've stopped stocking jacks into your ponds. Those poor little stinky bass would be as rare as a SEQ jungle perch. Have you organised the barra comp instead of that bloody somerset thing me and bro flogged you in last year.

you are on drugs Keith

[Canoedle]

[chicken]

Hey keith I like to give the bass a sporting chance by giving them 30mins to 1hr to grab the lure then it's back to camp to sit in the shade out of the hot sun with the esky by my side.

[Creek_Vermin]

Don't need to tell me that chicken. I'v seen you and your mate in action under the tarp. Was there a hotter place on earth than when that bloody somerset comp was held last year. You guys might have to take th winnings this year. Me and chris are still waiting for our certificate from last year. That big slack plumbin prick has lived up to his name.

[chicken]

The cowboy will be happy if you don't show up keith he might be a chance.It's going to be just as hot this year. Although there is even less water now so I might be a chance of catching something. NAH!

your jelous you didn't get one, oh thats right your a trophy hunter. ;D ;D ;D

It was a good day out, I did a run up to somerset on the Sunday, 3 yellows and 12 Bass, all around 2kg mark, hit the flats for first couple of fish then located some good bait concerntrations = bass




Elepreze forgot to mention that 2 tagged bass where also caught,

Moogerah bass are fairly mobile at this time of year just it can take a lot of searching to find active fish, predictabe habits are that they tend to like the 5 m water mark, and are usually always near the creek bed. Reaction baits tend to work best and encourage the bigger fish. They arn't schooled just active in concerntrations, dropping a lure onto a single arch can produce a fish. A good sounder and confidence in reading it is a big asset.

Thought a couple more yellows would come off of the edges as they are mating this time of season and love to hit any presentation.

If fishing moogerah be careful of eels as they love lures and as the water warms up they become more active, faster styles of retriving and keeping your lure off of the bottom will prevent eels.


Hope this helps

Cheers
