queensland Sunday morning bass session...

[mongrel jack]

Hi guys,

Woke early this morning and looked at the tide times and noticed it was high tide at about 9:45 at Colleges Crossing this morning. Hmm what should I do – I know lets go fishing. So a quick pack the gear and off we went. I thought it might be a good opportunity to chase a couple of bass – I’m getting a bit old and lazy and avoid paddling against the current if I can so couldn’t waste that tide. Put the yaks in the water at about 8 and headed off.

We were just coming out of the narrow rapids section and witnessed a shark surface – this place must be loaded with them at the moment as we've had several sightings now. When we got back to the ramp 2 young blokes had one about the metre mark hanging in the tree beside the ramp – drew a large crowd and cleared the water except for my boy :S – either no fear or stupid :silly: !

Wasn’t long before the misses hooked up with a 35cm to the fork bass, which was the best for the day. I got three more with the largest going 30cm and the other 2 in the mid 20’s. The wife also got a flatty in the mid 30’s. All her fish were caught on Super Bass lures in orange and mine where caught on a tt spinner bait. The young bloke fished with a few different lures and a green skirted spinner bait with 2 dropped fish. All fish where happily released to be caught again another day. Was also awesome not to encounter a catty which is very rare in this part of the world! We were back in the car at 11 heading for the aircon at home!

Well done mate. Love catching bass and flatties in the same water

Also 35cm fork is pretty good for there.

I have caught a few bass from there but they always hit that annoyingly repetitive high 20's mark...
