I went exploring around NPD after speaking to a mate that I fish with occasionally. I don't do arvo sessions all that often ,but left home around 1.30 to get to the dam at about 2pm. After walking in, I had a soft plastic hit the water at around 2 30. Threw soft plastics and spinnerbaits for about an hour and a half,catching 2 rat bass while checking out some banks, and after getting a few taps at a likely looking spot I changed over to a Jackall TN60. I normally like to suss out new water with a SP first, I hate losing Jackalls to snags, and a slow rolled sp normally gives a good indication of the layout of the bottom.
Well- the bass just went off.From 4 ish to around 4 45 pm I landed 12 bass with the smallest going 45cm ( to fork ) and the biggest ( my equal PB ) going 53cm. 5 of the bass were 50 or better, and the bass were inhaling the jackalls right down. A bit tricky on a couple of them getting the lure back without hurting the fish. I have caught bigger numbers before, but not that sort of quality fish one after another.
The sad thing is I had to leave them biting, as I had to get going home.
Hopefully the pics will turn out alright, my camera has not been playing the game lately.
