Well after handing in an assignment for uni on friday that kept me up all night finishing it, I thought I had better treat myself to a fish at one of my spots for a bass.
Well when I arrived I found that the water levels were up higher than usual making the water dirtier and colder (this water comes from a dam further upstream) so I didnt like my chances.
First cast and I ended up with a tiny bass about 15cm on the Stiffys Fat One (great lure like the Atomic Hardz Shads I rave about), following it were about 10 other smaller fish. Surprisingly they were all eager to smash the lure, even though water conditions werent ideal.
Moving downstream (I fish about a 100m section at this spot), the action slowed off so I walked upstream again to another hole where I have seen some humoungous bass sitting in there before, so I cast out my little Jazz walker and it gets smashed by something with size.
The fish surprisingly jumped clean out of the water a few times, and when I landed it realised why; it had hooked itself in the eye poor thing.
Unhooking it and asking some random kid who was swimming in the waterfall a bit further upstream, a measure against the rod and I let the fish go back into its hole.
I fished further upstream than normal but no more fish.
When I got home I measured the rod according to where it laid against on the rod and it went 45.6cm, a new PB and closer to the margin 50cm mark!
A good sized bass no matter where you come from. Entertaining posts.
