Madmic's Fish Of The Month Comp - April

[Madmic]

Hello everyone

Ok, this month lets try to get some entries happening. In addition to the usual 3 prize categories, this month will have a mystery length prize as well so if your fish isn't the biggest enter it anyway to have a shot at the mystery length prize. So all up 4 lures up for grabs this month guys. Now for this months' species, It's a common by catch for the Bass anglers so lets see how we go targeting them.

With 2 weeks at straddy this month i think I am out of the running. But good luck all!

An excuse to get back into the yak and fine another type of yellow. Checked out the local streams today but still to dirty for my liking.

I got out in the yak late one afternoon to see if I could tempt a river yella out. No joy, so down sized lure and caught a spangly. Still some time before the EOM.

 

Great to see a few entries.

[Dinodadog]

We have bigger ones out at NPD its just luck of the draw, I dont target them.

They seem to be getting smaller each time Dino! Stop now!!

Nice work @Dinodadog - interesting that the 53cm was deeper/fatter than the 61cm. Is it a male/female thing or do some (like me ....) just eat more .........?

[Madmic]

Thanks @Dinodadog for putting up the entries. Some really nice fish there. A few more days left in the month, maybe one of those big ones will accidentally eat your Bass bait  

Thanks to everyone who has had a go so far and keep trying, the month isn't over yet.

I'm off on an adventure into Northern NSW tomorrow night so maybe I will have one to show too

Yella 61cm was nearly white so I would say its been sitting sulking on the bottom for awhile.

Where Caught: North Pine Dam

When: 29/4/17

Size: 398mm

Weight: unknown

Went to NPD with Ray and Tai this morning, picked up a stray yella in amongst all the bass and forkies I managed to boat, so I thought I had better enter it in to the fish of the month comp!

[Luvit]

The more the merrier

[Madmic]

That's what I like to hear @Binder Thanks for entering your catch and a nice one too

Remember everyone that there is the mystery length as well this month so it's well worth the effort to throw in an entry 

Only one day left in the month good luck to anyone able to get out.

What a good month we have had. Thanks to everyone who put in an entry or had a go at catching one.

@Dinodadog takes out the lure category with a nice 61cm fish.

And @rayke1938 can let young Phoebe Sutton know she has won the Bait category.

No Land based entry which leaves @tugger to take out the mystery length prize. So everyone's a winner this month  

Thanks again everyone and look forward to seeing some more great fish next month.

Excellent girls and boys
