queensland First Bass

[fishingnut]

As promised I took the nephew out for a fish today. Having lived almost all his life in cairns he had never seen a bass before so I decided to change all that for him. Launching the boat at a leisurely 9am it was off down the dam in search of some schools that have been playing hide and go seek lately, With bugger all shrimp in the pots (they were left for a week) we had enough for me to be confident we weren’t going home empty handed. Located a decent school near the fig tree and soon had him high-fiving me after getting his first. Fishing was pretty slow the rest of the day as me moved about a little bit looking for some more active fish as they sat there with lockjaw. With 19 fish coming over the side 15 for him and 4 for me he was over moon to say the least. Looks like I’ll have to start sneaking out there without him as he reckons he’s coming every trip now ! Here’s a few pics

Gee I thought you had put on a bit of weight and was waiting for a pic of your nephew, then I saw the mo was a bit pale.

Gees, those scores are a bit lopsided. I hope you gave him a warning for future trips.

Beaut day to be on the water even with the 'low' numbers.

Hey fishingnut

Good job on the bass, and it's good you got your nephew out and caught his first bass - it must've been great fun! 

Those a some bigguns, too.

Got bugger all shrimp in the pots, I fished lures and got bugger all they just weren’t interested. Get more enjoyment getting people onto fish and enjoying them selves

Nice one champion. How good to put someone on their first fish.
