Belated Hinze Report

[leelee]

Hit Hinze dam on New Years day with a mate.

It was only going to be a very short session so we didn't move to far from the ramp.

I had to test out my new christmas presents, some new custom Rods from Steve Duff, so I thought this was the perfect chance to test out my new Christmas presents.

Started fishing topwater and on the 3rd cast it was smashed by a half decent bass. A few minutes later and I was was singing the praises of my new 1-4kg Kustom spin stick. Awesome rod I can’t believe the action on these rods and they are such a pleasure to fish with.

We later moved down to another bank and I noticed a fair bit of activity in the middle dam down the arm we were in. I knew it was toga playing around but they are hard to find.

So i changed lures from topwater to deep diving crankbait and was on almost straight away. A few leaps later and a nice small healthy toga lands on the deck. A beautifully marked fish and a nice small specimen to start the year off.

We later headed back to the ramp where I nailed another good bass on a tn60.

Was good to see the toga are out in force and with any luck I might start hitting the dam a bit more this summer.

I am extremely pleased with my new xmas presentsand what a way to start the year.

Cheers

Hey Lee I didnt know your a Hinze regular, do you live locally? Well done on the fish mate and great photos. Its always exciting to get a toga of any size. By the way, great looking rod with the SOL on it. -cheers Richard

Nah mate I live in Brissy but am more then happy to travel down to fish Hinze when I can. I don't have a "leccy only" boat so I have to deckie for others that do, becuase I really like fishing the place.
