nbdshroom Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 G'day guys! I've been itching to get out for some bass since the start of the season and I was finally able to! I had my baitcast and spin combo for this trip up at the lake at Parramatta. First cast resulted in an unexpected dusting by a big bass amongst some timber. I was shocked to say the least! I picked up the consolidation bronze prize on the very next cast after re-rigging. Powerbait twitch minnow doing the damage. The day that unfolded was amazing with the scenery and other fish caught! Lizards and birds aplenty and not a snake in sight! 😄 After getting my fill, it was time to call it day. A good adventure with a reason to come back - I'll be back for that big bass next time. Till then! 🔥 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_Flatty Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Great report! I love Lake Parramatta. One of Sydney's hidden gems. You can have a fish and then get a coffee after 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, would anyone know if there are any fish in very upper "fresh water" part of Parramatta river? Up past the ferry wharf? Obviously not to eat, just catch and release. There are lots of carp. Maybe some bass i'm not sure about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like catching a not-so-fussy bream that has a big mouth bigger than it's stomach. On 10/24/2019 at 5:09 PM, Rebel said: Great report. Super photos.

jordy Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Awesome love bass fishing too, plenty of nice locations around western Sydney easy access and a good chance of a fine scrap with these underated natives all you need is a few lures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Clain Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 15 hours ago, motiondave said: thanks @James Clain , might be wortha shot for a lazy fishing day. carp, they are mostly bait caught I think? not really lures? I've seen people get carp on lures. Carp can grab a lure but I have sight casted them before and they usually just swim away. Bait is really the go but even then they can be hard to catch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Carp respond well to bait. If you use earthworms, either under a float or with a small sinker you will pick up any other species which MAY be in that location, as well as the Carp. Give it a try. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The amazing scenery is a big part of chasing bass for me. They can be anywhere in the fresh. Can't wait to hit them on topwater when I get the chance. 23 hours ago, plumber joe said: well done!!! enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work! Thanks a lot! More to come as always.
