Cracker Bass

[Fast Break]

My son William and I spent a few hours yesterday walking the banks of the upper Brisbane River casting spinner baits.

First cast resulted in the smaller bass and within the next half hour or so we had several other strikes but no hook ups.

We persisted and then William pulled up tight on this 48 cm specimen. Needless to say by the smile on Williams face, he was pretty happy with his efforts.

Both bass swam free and we also caught a tilapia which was dispatched accordingly.

Riptide-45 we live in Ipswich and were only about 15 minutes drive from the CBD. Sorry to be so cryptic but I was shown this spot and was sworn to secrecy.... hope you understand.

Seems as though some big bass were washed out of Wivenhoe when they opened the gates, I know blokes who have been catching quite a few at this size.

Thanks for the reply.

Good catch for the little bloke ! A 48 can go like the clappers...he would have had his work cut out for him.
Thanks for the report and the photo is very cool.
