queensland Baroon twice this week for nix!

[Feral]

Looks like we scared all the Bass away,with the AFO trip a fortnight ago. I have been up to Baroon for a couple of quick trips this last week, Thursday and today.

Could not even find a Bass on the sounder either day.

Thursday took the missus and kids up for a spin around the dam, 2 hours mostly trolling, for only one timid tap.

Today , I managed one spangled perch on a deep diving minnow, and that was that! Aggressive little bugger, the lure was half his size - well he paid for it, Alex decided he wanted a pet spangled perch, so it is in the spare tank in the shed, awaiting time for enough water to air out to fill the bigger tank!

Mate I went to Hinze today and spoke with every boat I saw - I only heard about 3 fish and they were very early trolling.

Another local said he found the bass but they wouldn't give a bite.

So it's not just Baroon! Note it in the diary - we mighth have a pattern. NP, Hinze and Baroon all shut down at the same time. What the heck causes that?

the fish must of seen your brc shirt and fled.

Weather, moon phases etc, anything like that can cause fish to shut down but 3 dams at once is a bit odd.

Brian,

Old wives tale is that when north easterly blows natives go off the bite. Certainly was a north easterly today. maybe might be some truth in it.

Maybe this is more than a coincidence but I got zip at North Pine today as well, used live shrimp and lures for a turtle and 8 garfish on worms to use for bait. No one was getting much out where I was either, might have been one of those days everywhere I think.

Mate - that was bad luck - I bet you headed there with big expectations after the last trip. At least you know it wasn't you, it was the fish.

How is Ray doing?

Ray and Graham are getting a good feed each day, (6 or 7) nothing spectacular, but enough to keep them interested. Graham got his first Murray River Cod, apparently a very happy Graham, not so happy Ray!

[James W]

a big congrats to graham on his cod!:woohoo: lucky bugger!

troy-first bass on a popper? or first @ northpine?

I had a Spanged in my fish tank for years once.

Awesome fish.

Nail everything you put in.

Im sure Alex will have some fun with that one.

The spangled carked it last night, probably coz of the trebles from the lure.

Might try and get him a banded grunter from Hinze this weekend!
