p-ziller Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 After multiple unsuccessful attempts to get my old man out doors to throw a line in, I was able to convince him somehow to go on ‘Valentine’s Day’. Or, maybe my mum convinced him that the best gift he could get her was solitude…. Either way it was good to get out. The game plan was that we would be at the Nepean at around 7am, I eventually heard from the old man at around 8. The missus and I packed the car, headed off and eventually met up with him around 9. My dad, (KG as we refer to him as) had a little pep in his step that morning. After recently purchasing himself a new rod he was determined to hook up! We headed out landbased around Yarramundi. It was a very humid day, especially trekking it through all the dense foliage and undergrowth. The cicadas were humming and the river was flowing slowly, what I believe to be good bass conditions. The three of us were making our way along the bank casting at structure and ‘fishy looking’ parts of the river. KG and Kat had spinner baits on while I wanted to sharpen up on my hardbody game. It wasn’t long until the old man was on, only then to lose it at his feet. A few more casts and slow retrieves then bang, he was on again! This time I ran over to give him a hand with this fantastic specimen of a bass (no tape but I estimate it was around the 27 mark). KG had a grin on him from ear to ear! Although both Kat and I were unsuccessful, it was good to see dad so stoked. Cheers, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattfinn Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Awesome report Paul!! Great to see you finally got the old guy onto a few. Also great to see your still enjoying. For every unsuccessful trip there'll be two or three successful ones as we found out that one time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
