queensland Small river bassing

[Dinodadog]

Headed out this morning with Andrew,Luke and Shane to a waterway that was not very welcoming, well not to start with. Bass came on the chew later in the morning thank goodness as I did not want to see all those bare butts at the launch site.

I would like to thank Andrew gloomy samari for letting me trial his turbo finned mirage, I know now that is what I need. Fixed a few other things on the hobie as well, I'll get it working to suit me yet. Rest of the clan can add a few pics later.

Some nice looking bass there. Well done. That spot looks very familiar but can't put my finger on it.

Better off flicking a few lures Sam

Healthy looking bass Dino, it's been way too long since I've chased a few small river fish.

Only one thing better Ant, skinny water bass.

Only one thing better Ant, skinny water bass.

Yeah, but dunno if there is enough water to float the "SS Dino" on ya sons place!

Good to hear you are making progress on refining the Hobie to your liking.

Are you suggesting smaller lighter lures would have been better than the beetle spins?

Some good depth in the water by the sounder.

I have written an article on beetlespins and I am waiting for the return of the articles section so that I can submit it. Article deals with different weight beetlespins and where to use them.

I was going well in the Hobie yesterday for first 3 hours, I put a neck cushion behind my back to prop me up in the seat a bit, then the spot where the 2 plugs under your backside attache to the yak realy started to dig into my delicate bottom, so I lowered the neck cushion a bit more. I will cut out a bit of high density foam rubber and place it over this area for next time to see if that works.

You would spend more time out of it than in it down there.Also to close to the banks and those long skinny things.

Two Hobie kayaks and one that I don't think even has a brand name haha. Had a great day! The fish were all fairly small, but some still hit harder than they probably should have I was happy to be catching them quite consistently all morning, and had fun exploring a new waterway. Thanks Dino and Andrew!
