50cm - 2kg bass

[setthehook]

Did a bit of night spinning this week for a few bass with the best being 50cm and over 2kg. All fish were photographed and returned to their homes to fight another day. The lure used for all the fish was a bugger chug with size 8 gamakatsu trebles.
Most fish were taken after 10pm.
Cheers Rob.

Next to bream, bass are my favourite fish. I'd love to catch one that big even from a dam.
Whats the best magazine for learning about bass? And what about videos?

Nice catch Rob...The more pics of fish with the lures in place the better I say....I have had one freshwater fishing adventure in my life...last year to Lake Awoonga 1 week, 5 barra,the best 1 going 110.5cm & 20.7kg..absolutley loved it..going agian this year around the same time...However my point is that from that point on I said to my brother inlaw (who took me to Awoonga) That freshwater is something that I want to get into,it is generaly so bloody peaceful that you almost don't care if you "setthehook"

CHEERS

[ele-phrez]

there a great little sport fish

[setthehook]

wow didnt realise this thread was still alive!! Sorry for the late reply's!! :-/

I couldnt tell you how bass taste as i release 100% of them djdamo. ;)

magic marlin i find them awsome lures! this is the 1st year i gave em a fare go but the stock trebles they are suplied with are rubbish!! So i add a wide gap gamakatsu treble to ass end, size 8 from memory. They are a black treble and they are the best for the job IMO.

Ill have to chase some queensland bass soon!!

Rob.
