queensland Lots of Yellas Around NPD

[Dinodadog]

There are lots of yellas around at the moment, they always come on at spring time. I got 4 yesterday and seen others caught near me. Also got 8 bass and myself as well. Unhooked the spinnerbait and went to drop the fish back in the water and wack I had the hook buried in my left hand index finger all the way past the barb,ouch. The reason this happened was because the fish still had a swivel,line and hook in it which I did not see,someone had lost it before. When i dropped the fish the line grabed my lure and pulled it into my finger. I tried several ways to get it out but finaly had to cut hook with pliers and useing pliers push the point of the hook out my finger a bit further along. What you have to do when you are alone. ha ha 5mins later someone turned up. All fish on

spinnerbaits.

Today Tues got 5 bass 3 on s/baits and 2 on slugs. Also seen yellas caught near by. For yellas any lures as long as they go near the bottom.

Fish while you can

[shortie]

theres nothing like bush surgery.

Good stuff dino that hook would of hurt I bet if you threw it out you still could land a fish with the hook broken you always seem to find them.

And again Dino... loving it

Hitting up the dam tomorow. Should be some stuff around but I have a feeling this weekend's gonna be a killer with the predicted storms!

[MichaelJ]

r there any specific colours they like?

[Dinodadog]

Whatnow

They only fight hard for the first few meters then they are a dead weight. No specific colours for the yellas. I have been using all different colours. You just have to make sure you slow roll along the bottom which is where they live.

I do not recommend bush surgery as it bloody hurts.Still whining.

Dino I just put on a bandaid in sympathy.:S Ouch man, but you got fish.

Now leave the poor NP fish alone and go get some trout. :laugh:

I finally kept a yellowbelly to eat, along with 3 other bass I got last Friday. Probably the best tasting fish I've had.

If you were by your self, then the bag limit on Bass is 2.

[robski]

Cowfish, I know. Cheers anyway. I had another mate with me. Made a fish curry with most of the catch, feeding about 10 people.

[Cowfish13]

Ok, no probs. Sounds good.

[blue_mako]

Robski: Next time don't make a curry out of it. Just eat it with no additives, mmmm mud.

There have been loads of Yellows biting at the moment. I have caught 10 or so in the last 5 trips and have seen at leas another 10-15 landed. My 2 biggest have both been 58cm then 56cm after that. The rest between 40 and 50 besides one 30cm rat.

Use either Chartreuse Jackall TN60s or 70s or big 3/4 oz. Fire Tiger Spinner Baits and Stinger hooks. They stick out and Yellows don't exactly have a lot of brains . The Bass love them as well.
