bass slowing down

[dansike]

Talk around that the Bass in my area are starting to slow down. I noticed last week that there were less than before. There is a spot I have been wanting to fish for a while now, but the 200 metres of waist deep rapids to get to it has always scared me off a bit. My dad met me there this morning in his single yak and he kindly "somehow" managed to get me over to the other side without getting wet. There was a lot of likely looking spots. First cast a got a little 15cm one. I thought it might be an ok morning. I was wrong. In the next 2 hours had only one hookup each, with both fish pulling hooks. Actually one fish snapped a hook on my Atomic Hardz. (dan25 are you reading this? You were right) A bit later I cast next to a big rock that had a deep hole next to it. It looked like something just had to be there. Right on cue a 44cm (fork length) Bass inhaled my spinnerbait. That was all we got for the few hours we fished. Now I'm at work, oh well...thats life Dan

Yeah mate they have gone quiet, they have been hit very hard so are wising up I'd say. No donut at least so you're doing alright
