p-ziller Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Afternoon Raiders, Had a spare few hour this arvo to chase some bass! After having a massively failed attempt last Thursday and a botched coast trip (due to the weather!!! ), I was keen to get into it! I did some re con yesterday, and was set on getting some quality bass. After a short drive, a brisk stroll and a quick game of hopscotch with some of the biggest cow turds I had ever seen, I reached my destination. I walked the river getting a few casts in between trees and small openings with a Hairy Spinnerbait for an hour or so to no avail. Changing it up, I opted for the SP+Spinnerbait combo with a faster retrieval, it did the damage! Caught 2 just under the 30cm mark, dropping an additional 2 at my feet. Photos attached as always, apologies for the stank face! Cheers, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Well done Paul. Amazing how a slight change of tactics made all the difference. Some nice fish there mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hope so too. Never been Bass fishing, but it seems to be a bit like what I do on a smaller scale... chucking lures and spinner baits at likely looking spots. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adsy91 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Great stuff, seems like there's plenty about at the moment. Can't wait for it to heat up a bit more and get into some surface action! Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellcorner Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I went to a section of the nepean river last year and learned to catch Bass there. I went back there the other day , and found that the river is up, & where I fished from is under water, and flowing quite quickly.? so I thought is now time to learn about trout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking it's about time I tried to get a few raiders together for a group kayaking, bass and carp day so keep an eye out for that if you're interested guys and gals.

Went down there late August to see everything flooded! A friend of mine had told me they were slowly releasing the dam with the rain expected in the coming months. Bit of a crap situation, but he ended up getting on to some trout further in. Think i will have a go there next time. Cheers, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
