Bored as,sunday arv and sick of andy saying can we fish yet,i decided to throw the boat in a local creek,oout of the howling sou easter.Dropped the boat in at 4.30pm,pulled out 7pm.I landed 4 smalll bass in short time and andy was copping it big time.My fish were caught on a mask vibe(with no eyes).I should have known better.He has a run on some crappy spinnerbait(not my favourite type of lure)and puts 3 in the boat.I tie on a wise dog and after half an hr or so boof,miss..damn..twitch boof..
..waaaiittttt..gotcha..on the 3rd go a fiesty little fella hits the net.In our boat a fish on surface is worth five points...so the ribbing starts...im unbeatable..Its getting dark so we decide to have a couple more casts then bail.Andys Egrell loads up,im thinking bass,but a nice tannin stained barra comes clear of the water.only a little fish but a nice feeling when it hit the net considering the country it came out of.Couple of quick pics and away it went.It appears my gloating was a little premature
.While im tidying up the boat andy sneaks iin a quick cast and the sound out braid crackling then cracking catches my attention.It seems a bigger bass decided it really wanted that poxy spinnerbait.Good riddance in my books
The next morning saw us on the water at 4am
in the sk colour.After a few casts,a swirl.then nothing. a bit further along the bank it dissappears in a small implosion.Once again a little dark barra launches out of the water.After an acrobatic struggle hes netted and released. Just after sunup,andys starts squirming and pointing,i thought a green ant had bit him again,but as o look up a little platypus bobs to the surface and starts preening him/herself not ten yards from the boat them slowly paddles towards the bank and dives under some reeds.Absolutely magic.Where the water gets skinny i lose another little barra after a short fight ,then boat another one.Andy FINALLY gets a little bass on his spinnerbait,then on the way home lose a nice barra round 65 on a frenzy rattler,the little bass chem sparpened hooks just werent up to the prolonged fight.Not to worry there will be another day.on the way back he ramp i crack an icy cold xxxx and a great morning is complete
