Went for a paddle in the yak this arvo and met up with Geoff72.Trolled on the way and scored a little fella bout35 on a minnow.Caught up with geoff and he had already scored 2 on his trusty jackall.Heard the cicadas start doing there thing and decided it was time to bung on a popper.To no avail,meanwhile geoff had just equalled his pb with a fat 47cm jobbie.I kept fishing the popper and on dusk started hearing a few smak the surface.Cast about 1 meter from where i saw a smak and whammo,no hookup let the popper sit a then gave a tiny tweak and whak again.Dove for the lillys but stayed connected and after a short fight boated my first bass on a popper for the year.Scored another not long after and missed another 2 big hits.Great arvo on the water.
