queensland Banking With Interest

[Dinodadog]

To windy for the boat this morning, so I grabbed some gear and headed to the dam to do some bankside fishing. I took about 20 shrimp with me as a backup.When I arrived I found I had forgot my bait rigs, so had to put a shrimp out under a float.While I was setting up my casting rod the shrimp got attacked, a nice medium size bass,so I baited up again and it was fish on again before I had my casting rod ready, another nice med size bass. I thought to myself this is going to be great, but alass that was it on bait not another hit.

Finally getting my casting rod into action I was pleasantly  surprised to be  right in the action,using 1/2oz spinnerbait I soon passed the bait tally by a mile. I kept trying different lures, blades, spoons and micro jiggs, but the bass were only interested in the spinnerbaits.Managed 2 on bait, a dozen on spinnerbaits and a 50+ yellabelly as well.

I started at 5am and finished at 7am and was home having bacon and eggs at 7.30am ( I coulld not stand up for another minute).I had to get the frozen peas on both knees when I got home.

Were you casting out past the fish and brining it back through them ? How far out were they holding ?

Gotta love those south easterlies 

Had a drive round the dam around 10 this morning, looked ok with a bit of wind protection in places.

Whished I'd taken a rod and some lures!! 

Still nice to get out of the house after a bout of flu.

I took plenty of heavy spoons etc for long casts but the fish were fairly close

Only about half full when I went past.

I think the wind put people of but looked like it was quite fishable within the Forgan Cove bay.

Good reward for your effort Dino. Roughly how much bank did you fish?

[Dinodadog]

Only about 20 metres.I do the old side step,2 steps to the right and cast,over and over,then turn back with 2 steps to the left and cast.I have to stay close to the set bait rod.

Very cool to get more on the lures. 

Bass and peas for dinner?

You are defiantly the bass whisperer! Amazing as always.
