Well today i was lucky enough to score a spot on Rays boat to go chase some bass, so we set off at 6 am to see what was out there.... the air pressure was nice and high today " 1024.3 when i left home " so i had already set my hopes high lol anyway we had a real good days fishing , the weather was mostly fine with only a little bit of rain, we got pictures of most of the fish we caught but not all, i also caught my first yellowbelly today i think the days score was 20 x bass, 3 x forkies, 1 x Tandanus, 1 x spangled perch and a heap of redclaw, i also dropped a big tilly on a Jackall ... Dohhhh

Thanks again ray for the invite mate

Looks like an awesome day of fishing guys! Well done on catchin a nice variety! Love fishin out there especially when it rains.

Were most fish caught at the island boundary?

Looks like a good day. Got my boat permit notice this week and can't wait for next month to get out on the NPD water.

Good to see a report with plenty of pics, well done on your yella mate

I am glad that I was able to get you onto a few fish. You are welcome any time.

Those 50cm forkies shure go hard on the Nordic gunslinger.

Here are a couple of other photos.

Quite a few little fellas that will be bigger next year.

\Weather looked a bit dirty a couple of times but mostly it went around us.

At one stage we moved into the lee of the island because the pick wouldnt hold and as soon as we moved the wind dropped out so we went back to original spot.

Jase you forgot the 3 mongrel turtles in the total.

Tai we got them in a few spots including the island.

Cheers

Good day out at NPD.

That looks great. I didn't see much structure in the pics. Do they just swim in the open?

[rayke1938]

Fishing the drop offs.

Plenty of submerged structure in some areas from all the trees that grew in the drought.

Cheers

First Yella I have seen caught down there. Looks like Forkies are going to be a frequent catch now.

Only thing that stops me getting a permit is so few fish seem to be caught on lures out there. Too well fed i reckon!!

I had a permit for the first couple of years way back when it started at NPD so has it really changed since then?

Cheers

Mick.
