Well guys it finally happened,after almost 3yrs since i sold my boat,ive got another and back on the water.After tossin up between scratching that bass itch i had and trying to chase some macks off the sunny i decided to hit my fav bass dam [based mainly on what ive read here about the fishin off the sunny coast lately] Anyhow a later than expected start seen me finally hit the water about 7.30am,i decided to hit a couple of small bays on the left just before the Borumba arm,i started by working the surface in the shade while it was still an option,after about 1/2 hour or so,no action so i switched to spinnerbaits.It didnt take long and had a couple of half hearted hits before a solid hook up,the fish went hard and deep but i didnt think it was a bass so presumed it for a yella,all deep and no jumps i was pleasantly surprised to see a nice toga,great start to the day and the cobwebs blown out.As i made my way out of the bay the weed become pretty consistant and didnt take long for fish number two with a fiesty little bass that went about 35.Short story is that the trend continued for the next hour with 9 more bass hitting the deck by 9am,all about the same size except for one about 25-30,not big fish but a pretty good start to the day.......after that i headed off in search of more weed and ended up in an old fav bay just past the Borumba arm,20 odd mins of fruitless casting i switched to a tn60 with immediate success with a solid fish slammin the lure and taking line,i thought it would be a lot bigger but the chunky 35 punched above its weight and put up a great fight,gotta admire these little fish.Picked up a few more before it settled down so decided to head up to the timber,still using the jackall i managed a few more fish about the same size before another solid hit with line departing the reel in a manner that the big bass can do,just under 40 it was my best fish for the day and put my tally at about 16 or 17 bass [lost count but thats about right ] plus Mr T.Getting on to about midday by now, and lost steering on my leccy so decided to pull the pin on a good morning.Ive had better sessions at Borumba but i aint complaining,givin the lay off ive had,the beautifull morning it was, and the scenery, ill take it Till next time.
Cheers Gav.
