The upper Georges River

Hi Raiders

I have never targeted the illusive Bass before and I thought I would give it a go yesterday in the and it proved to be a successful and soul enlightening morning.

A quick 15 minute drive + a 15 minute walk found me in one of Mother nature’s special spots.

3 casts in and I had my first Bass… Wooo Hooo. No size but WHO CARES

The next fish made me work for a while and was only a small upgrade @ about 200mm still a nice very healthy Bass. What a day.. A bit of a walk and 30 or 40 flicks later and BANG WHOOSSCA I was smoked. I didn’t get a wind on the reel just lost line to something a lot better to my silly string. Stripped about 15-20Mtrs before reefing me with a bust off. (Shite I was fresh water fishing). That was the last excitement of the day so I chilled taking a few happy snaps and just loved the moment.

The weapon was a Kokoda Gold series “The Bat” small, and my Canon EOS 70D.

Hi JD

I know that spot well although I never fished it.

Its one of the bush walks my family has done for about 30 years now.

I wonder if the fish ladders they installed years ago at the various weirs along the river has allowed Bass to get backup stream after spawning.

Anyway... looks like a good sign for the river and well done on catching even a smaller specimen.

Great pictures of the Aussie wildflowers too.

Cheers

Jim

Thanks guys

Was a great day.

What would I do without you Sensei Stewie.

Roostersone.. after that wizz.bang try and keep me away.

Next time I might leave the 2 kg DSLR at home and take pics from the iPhone. That is a hell of hill on the way out.

Is there any chance of getting a kayak down there. I have went up as far as long point but the rapids and shallow water make it difficult to get up any further.

Good luck walking in there with a kayak and better luck walking out
