queensland Hinze arvo session 24th

[WayneD]

Made the trip as planned to Hinze. Arrived at 3:15 and was on the water by 3:30. Paddled straight over to the point on the opposite side of the dam amd cast a spinnerbait and a ponytailed jighead witha 3" paddle tail on it for about an hour for nothing. Decided to go for a troll. Put on a Zone special in bleeding mullet colour and a Ridgeback lure in purple/pink. Started trolling up the the dam and got a hit not long after, pulled in my first bass, a skinny 34cm specimen. Just as I released him the other rod went off and I boated another bass at 32cm. Trolled up the dam until the sharp turn left, paddled into a shady little bay out of the wind and tried for some surface action. It was not meant to be though.

So I rigged up the same two lures again and headed for home as it was starting to get dark. On the troll home I managed another two bass, one on each lure again. They went 30 and 32cm. I passed two guys in a perception sit in with a leccy and they had got a toga each and a baby bass. So I got back to the point opposite the ramp and decided to have a go for a toga for a few minutes. No luck after 10 minutes so I called it a day and was back at the ramp by 7:15.

No photos we have all seen 34cm bass before. The fish were all skinny today certainly not fat like the bass I normally catch.

Nice one mate. Is there still a lot of debri on the surface up there?

What they lack in condition, they make up for in aggression!

They were smaking the lures on Friday and they were biggish lures too.

Good to see you got into some, better luck on the toga next time.

No debris at all Angus. Was a nice arvo on the dam.

Yes they are aggressive Rocket, I just wish I had of got some casting instead of trolling. I get so much more satisfaction out of feeling the take than fighting the fish.
