queensland Edging Our Bets

[basshunter1987]

Took young Dennis out to North Pine for a fish yesterday, but his camera battery was dead before we even started. So for this report, you’ll have to give me all the likes and compliments instead. Don’t worry, I’ll pass them on

We checked a few shrimp pots first up, including one that had previously been lost from the float being cut off. The pot was sitting mostly above the water, but amazingly, still had plenty of live shrimp in it. I told @Dinodadog that today would be so good on lures that I bet we don’t even touch the shrimp....

We had our sights set on a few spots where we could cast to the edges. Spinnerbaits worked nicely last trip, so we wanted in on that action again. Most of the water fished was actually very shallow (less than 3m), SUPER clear, and had thick weed beds. The spinnerbaits were basically retrieved just below the surface, and the fish would burst out of the weed to hit them.

Caught a few fish trolling along the way, but spent most of the morning getting our spinnerbaits smashed by the chunkiest of winter Bass. Had hoped the yellow fish would also turn up, and watched as Dennis caught one now and then. Finally managed one myself as last fish of the day.

As we hit the thrusters and headed back to the ramp, I pointed to the shrimp laden esky.....

“Told ya”....

Looks like the wind stayed away for you too. Did you keep a tally ?

Thankyou Luke for looking after this poor old fella while his knee heals (looks like being 2 years) might be sooner according to physio, we will see what the ortho doc says tomorrow, 12 long weeks so far.

Nice report mate. Thanks for the read and some great photos too. 

I love the description of the bass smashing the lures out of the weed. Will make me dream well. 

Thanks

Well done, see you out there

Ortho doc happy with knee,organised to get one hip done after christmas. Off to the cosmetic skin specialist to get the end of my nose trimmed, he is hoping to be able to sew the cut back together while under the twilight zone next day and not need a skin draft.

Good luck. Hope the easy option works out.

Good idea getting the hips done while you're still relatively healthy.

Six million seemed a lot more back then...

Missed out on the easy option.

Had painful needles in the nose, removed cancer, test failed

Second go another needle didnt feel it, cancer removed and test failed

Third go, no needle, cancer removed test OK

I was worried I was going to have a third nostril

He told me he couldnot see the cancer, but the microscope picked it up.

Into hospital and into the twilight zone to get a skin graft tomorrow, because he had to go so deep. Glad I didnt wait till after christmas or it could of been worse.

Glad they got it mate. Sorry to hear about the skin graft. I hope they give you the good pain killers.
