queensland Spooking The Bass

[Dinodadog]

It was off to a bad start out at NPD yesterday, I left my casting rod at home. So off to do some trolling and bait fishing. Trolling proved OK and gave me a chance to find some small schools. I would pull up, send down some fish finders and it would be game on, usually resulting in double or triple hookups, then after about 10 to 20 bass they were spooked and gone. Sometimes I would find a school and before I could get a bait down they were gone.

Took me awhile to work out a pattern,I would not hang around when the bite stopped, I would move to next spot quickly. Managed 93 bass before heading home, with not much size amongst them.Turns out I didnt need the casting rod afterall as the weed edges were not fireing for others, because of no cloud cover.

Seems a shame that you were out in the nervous nineties after such a thoughtful innings.

It was my choice it got a bit crowded and I had to be home for pool repairs ( new chlorinater )

It must have been nice to have a session injury free.

Nice one Dino, another great session. I must say I'm surprised that any of your rods actually make their way out of your car/boat given how often you fish ......

Yes you are right there, I removed a one piece rod when I went to sons place on weekend and took a 2 piece that fitted in the back and forgot to replace my casting rod back into the car.
