found out a spot to launch in the brissy river for some bass, thought id hav a go early morn on open day, wasnt on the water long an i was onto my first brissy river bass, pumped!!!!!!

i was very happy, finishing this day with 7 river bass, Very Very Happy Fisherman, an was keen 2 get back ASAP!!!

back on tuesday arvo for an arvo sess, started slow but then got into a good fish thought it was my first 50+ bass, got the big girl up after a decent fight up come a BIG YELLA!!!!! boy was i pumped an excited now, the big girl went 57cm, a few more trolls up an down the river an a 44cm yella popped up, nxt troll got smoked by now a 50+ bass, was spewin bout this but thats fishing!!!!!!

thought 2 myself load up the lure box an go again, this time taking a young fella thats been nagging 2 go fishing, on the water 5minutes an had a bass in the yak, an not long after another bass in the yak, then went quiet from now on i said it will be tough 2 the young fella(Liam) we saw some boats were trolling an casting, on the way up i said well troll some lures an see hw we go, an the nxt moment after this Liam was onto a nice yella, after moving up from victoria he was onto his first fish in QLD an wat a fish 2 be yur first a 48cm yellabelly he was stocked with it.

lost 2 really good ones, i think i might fish abit heavier then 6lb hahahaha, an then see if i can stop em that way hahaha

That's a good little session there rowie remember the yellowbelly are an introduced species to the brissy, so even though they are native if you want to take your bag for a feed don't be concerned whether it is a big breeder or not. Bass are native to the river and need all the help they can get so taking a couple of yellas for a feed is probably a good thing for them.
