On the water at 4.20am to glassy water mild temp no breeze. Have not chased the bass for a few weeks so thought it was time to try some new lures and new pockets of water. Bought a surface walker and had him in the water at dawn towing behind the electric at 2knts against a grass bank. Serenity lasted exactly 20secs before it got hammered. Bass of 41cm over the side of the boat. Number 1 at 5.10am and still quite dark. Next thought was I must get a few of these ;D
Another 6 fell to various surface lures, poppers walkers etc. Once the sky lightened the went a little quiet - next step was to try a couple of rmg 1m divers. Picked off another even half dozen. Tried dropping some little livies under some nasty fallen trees for a further 14. Trolled home and cast surface poppers on the way for another 3. Total 29 bass between 45cm and 29cm. All released and heading for home at 8.30am. 4 fish coming after 6.50am :-X
Gotta love these warm still mornings of summer ;)
