Slider Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Howdy people Spent some time up Port Stephens way over the last week. The terrible weather killed most of my fishing plans, but I still managed to fit in a few sessions on some local rivers and some further flung secrets spots... Got a magnificent 50cm to fork (53cm overall) bass on a Taylor Made Surface Breaker one morning, and picked up another few good fish in the low 40s over the other days plus scores of the usual river rats. I hit the Hawksbury with Bill and my wife today (got a few alright bream, but otherwise very quiet) and I'm off chasing Marlin on the shelf tomorrow...ye ha! Cheers Brent The 50...

Sputnik Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) Well done, Brent - that first Bass is a snorker! I spent some time at Port Stephens in winter 2004, but never managed anything quite like that. Well done, mate!

Aero Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Thats one Huge Bass Congratulations ! Only a striped marlin could top that, and you might do that tommorrow anyway! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patl Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) Those taylor mades in both surface and divers at the moment are working really well. On our last couple trips to lake st clair they have been the standouts By the way, that bass is a great fish for a river fish Edited January 2, 2005 by patl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hottuna Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Impressive, what a fish, can`t belive the bulk it has compared to the smaller 40s fish. DAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snag Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Well Done Brent now thats what you call a bass. Would that be your PB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizardboy Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Nice work mate...very jealous indeed! and to think I was stoked catching river bass from the south coast half that size....actually still am, gotta love catching bass on surface lures Lizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slider Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Cheers fellas Great to see you out on the water Jack, glad to hear you guys got stuck into them, see you soon! Snag - not my PB mate, Ive got a 52fork (55 total) model from this same area, plus a 51to fork...pretty consistent spot hey LIzard - your right mate, bass on the top are great fun, although I also love the immediate jarring impact of a big hit on a jig-spinner or spinner-bait too..heck its all good!

Slider Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Oh yeah just to round off my holiday report...I went out trolling on the shelf on Monday to try and get my first beakie of the season. Unfortunately we didn't even raise a fish, but hey, that's marlin fishing for you. Cheers Brent P.S I'm off to the Goldie this weekend, fishing the Nerang on Sat then planning to head out after spotties and macks later in the day..but the bloody wind is looming...fingers crossed!
