Amazing but very frustrating

[geoff72]

After reading Blooeys great session from the kayak yesterday i had to go and give it a crack for myself. Got the permission slip,loaded the yak and went to the spot. Paddled just around the corner from where i launched and was on straight away to a small bass,next cast on again,another small model,this was awesome fun so i decided to hit the spot where i get the bigger ones,after 15 min of nothing i went back to the first spot,well for the next 1 1/5 hrs i had a ball but got very frustrated with the number of dropped catches,nearly every cast produced a hook up but lost either early in the fight or right beside the yak,was getting very annoyed but still persistance pays of and i landed 5 more bass,over legal with one going into the early 40,s. All up 7 bass and i counted 28 hook ups without a word of a lie. Still along way from Blooeys best but still had the best session i have ever had bassing in a yak. Still cant crack the 50,s tho, one day.
No pics,you just have to take my word for it.
All bass where caught on a jackall.
Cheers

Yeh top stuff mate.28 hits is huge.Afternoons seem to be the go.Your hooks aren't bent are they? Ben

Have had the same happen to me once or twice with bass. Heaps of hits and hook ups but not too many landed. Usual would be landing 8 out of 10 hits but on the rare occassion I might land 3 out of 10 hits. It's my guess when this is happening the bass arn't feeding and are only slashing at the lure in anger as a lot landed are hooked on the outside of their mouth or under their jaw. Maybe it's the rattle in the Jackall bugging them because a switch to spinnerbaits or plastics results in no hits at all. Could also be the clarity of the water not letting the bass get a good look at your lure. Barra often get in a mood like also.

It can't be the hooks on Jackalls arn't sharp enough.
Sorry Bruce I couldn't help myself.
