queensland NPD This time I will catch a Dam/n Bass!

[Dan23]

I'm gonna get one this time I swear.

Plan on hitting this spot again. There's some nice steep drop offs and I saw Kevin catch fish there last week. I reckon I can do it this time. Anyone else heading out come say gday to us and give me some pointers while you're at it :cheer: [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/mcgavins-e217ff1ecb1a0d48f8cc3e05c95e7b5f.jpg

good luck mate if it's no good there try forgans thats where alot have been caught lately.

[MichaelJ]

i hope u can get atleast 1 ill be getting some new lures on monday then ill be heading out later this week and hopefully i can get a few more

[Dan23]

I've tried Forgans a fair bit but couldn't get any there. Tried that pipeline Aaron showed me a few times to no avail. Any suggestions where there's some deep water there?

[Dan23]

yeah, I just want to say I've at least caught one. Even if it's only 10cm long :laugh:

[STU]

We got them at the pipeline last week left of the pipe towards fogans is deep water try jackall or spinnerbaits there cast out as far as you can let it sink down to the bottoms and slow retreive with some hops it will work just keep at it.

[MichaelJ]

me and my m8's have caught a few to the right or far side of that island thing deep water there and weres pipeline?

[Plastic Man]

the pipeline is just near that island spot just more around to the right i think

[Dan23]

the pipeline is right out on that point that stretches out towards McGavins.

STU, I need to stock up on spinnerbaits. I only have one! Also I have a few G Vibes but they're 11gm and don't cast far plus sink too slowly. I bought six of the exact slugs I saw Kevin catch them on last week and they will cast really far so that's my plan of action. I'm just gonna cast my arm off. I am fairly sure my problem is not using braid. In deep water I haven't been getting enough action in the lure because of the stretch in my line. I'm going to go wind some super braid onto my reel now.

Cheers for the advice.

P.s. I'm too poor to risk throwing $20 Jackles out. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

[MichaelJ]

i think i no what u mean by pipeline and how much do spinnerbaits cost? and how much are gvibes and r they divers?

[Dan23]

The spinners I've seen are 10-15 bucks depending on brand.

Kokoda G vibes are a cheaper imitation of a jackal bibless crank bait. I got two for $10 the other day but they retail for $6-7. Pretty good lure for the price. The ones I've bought have a nice action and dig into the bottom nicely. They come in 11 and 18gm. Look for the 18gm cause my 11gm ones don't cast far enough. Apparently gold is a good colour in them.

kokoda also make a sprog which is a good little sx40 imitation.

[MichaelJ]

id buy the $10 doller ones lol

[Tim a]

[Dan23]

They do dive but not very deep. Google Kokoda sprog and Ecogear SX40 to see what I mean. Apparently with those sort of lure you twitch them to get them to dive a bit then let them slowly rise. bream smash them when they blop up on the surface. Well that's what i read in an article by bushy or Sarlo. Never had any success with them myself.

[kevinchen19870316]

i will be there... with my new rod

[Aaron H]

Just got back from fishing the pipelines with Brian we got a few and wet post report later.

[kevinchen19870316]

i might be at the PIPELINES as well, that's the SPOT i talked about DAN!

[Dan23]

Ok, looks like I might have to make a change of plans huh?

[MichaelJ]

lol r u gonna folow kevin around

[Dan23]

Pretty much yeah, I figure if I copy exactly what he does then I'll get a bass eventually.

[MichaelJ]

lol but then u wont find ur own way to get their attention and would purple spinnerbaits and some kokodas cheaper bibless lures would be good

[Dan23]

Heh, I tried my own way and failed miserably so now I'm going to just copy everyone else.
