queensland NPD B4 the storm

[Dinodadog]

Had a ripper of a session out at the dam this morning,the bass were going crazy for bait and lures. Got a cattie on a small metal slug bouncing it off the bottom,also picked up a tillie on lure while trolling. All up 46 bass,3 catties and a tillie. I was getting bass on the bottom with shrimp so when they run out I thought I would try deep diving lures. It paid off as I was nailing them straight away. It pays to try a different approach now and again.

Fish while you can

Been a few of these turning up, have you caught any before Dino ?

[Feral]

I've had a few stumpies out of NPD,all around that size. Someone told me it was from a batch of fingerlings from a dodgy hatchery we got a few years ago.

[fishingnut]

Have seen hatchery bred barra have the same problem

[Dinodadog]

Over the years I have had some very ugly fish, the worst was a 50cm bass with lipps like a trevally, nobb on its head like a snapper and it was a stumpy also, could of been a 60cm if ironed out ha ha. Had a lot of stumpies and a lot with that dip between the head and the dorsal fin, like you see on a lot of bream. Some of them get nipped when young and manage to survive,some damaged in transit to the dam and as Feral said some arrive that way.

Especially with your record of catching Bass dino, I find that so amazing. All the bass I have caught at NPD and never got one with a tag. Hope not too many fish go over the wall atm. OR than again will it matter.

Cheers
