queensland They Have Moved.

Foggy and cool start at NPD yesterday morning .The bass had moved on from one of our usual spots taking an hour and a half to raise 20 bass along the length of koala straight. We then did the shrimp traps ad moved downstream to Andrews drop off where the bass were more prolific but still slow and by 11 am we only had 60 on the counter so we headed towards fad number 2 and saw a good show on the counter where the fish were sitting on a 3 foot high hump in 40 feet of water. We brought the tally up to 165 with some very good sized bass plus 3 X 50cm plus forkies.

4 tagged bass

We all caught a trophy bass and thought that Anthony was going to have a heart attack when he cracked his 50 barrier, I even checked to see if he had wet himself.

Tough day...

I hope you did the urine test by sight and not feel.

Hey rayke1938

Good job on all the bass, sounds like it was a good day out. Good job on some of the big ones too, this makes me really want to give NPD a go (we are getting the SIP as my dad wants to go out). 

I caught a 50cm forky on Sunday too, they're gross - double slime, double stink!  

Cheers Hamish

Good sesh, how are bite times for fresh water? Better at dawn and dusk just like other fishing?

[rayke1938]

Fishing the surface low light conditions best. Same for casting to the bank/weeds as soon as the sun hits the water the fish go deep. Bait fishing in more than 15 feet of water they bite all day . Trolling and jigging all day in deeper water. Mainly just following your sounder.
