Wild Bass

[Matthias]

Went fishing with my bro on the weekend to see if we could get a few bass. After 10min I connected to a good fish on a small Manns diver. He pulled alot of drag and I was too sluggish so he found his home and now has a plastic ornament hanging from his front door. :-?

It was 1pm and sunny as hell when my bro tied on a popper. This was the result, first cast. :)We had a few more hits and a hookup on the surface lures but bailed soon after.

Nice stuff mate! Pics turned out ace.

What brand/model popper is that one? I have one in my tackle box i picked up at a Garage sale not long back, and i swear it looks precisely like that one you got in the pic's above.

great fish mate love it when they hit the surface did you see the hook up

[Matthias]

The lure was a small rapala skitterpop. They work well. I've used the bigger ones at tineroo and got strikes but no fish :( When those beasts hit the surface in shallow water in the dead of the night it really is brown undies time.

Yeah I did see the hook-up. I was standin 15m down from him and heard him makin a fuss and I looked at his lure just as it got smashed. He said it came up real slow with it's chin up and just waited for the pause before it struck. :o

Thought it was a Rapala, thats the only reason I brought it at that sale!

The Bass down the Tweed have been going off on surface lures these past few weeks as well and when I am in the area my lunch breaks often find me pulled up on the upper tweed picking up a few bass on them in the middle of the day. (I picked up seven on an extended lunch break yesterday ;D). We found a couple of weeks ago they would not touch a diver but were all over the surface lures. Not that Im complaining. Love the boofs ;)

I love the wild bass, they fight hard

Bass off the surface is close to my fav type of fishing. Even if you only pull a few fish there is always something to keep you going, whether it be the wildlife or the constant hits that don't always feel the hooks.
