queensland NPD 14/5/08

[rayke1938]

Went to NPD this am to christen my new T curve that I purchased from Tri.

Donated 2 spinner baits to the snag gods, threw one away, lost one to a fish that wrapped me around a snag.

Missed about 4 hits and managed to land one bass around 47cm.

Met up with Dino and Ian who also had a fairly quiet day.

I am pleased with the rod and just dropped it into John Ford who is going to rebind a couple of the runners and touch up a chip in the epoxy.

Cheers

unlucky mate,good to see your new rod was christened with a bass...a nice bass at that;)

[STU]

thats the way to christen your rod ray good onya did the other guys get any more yellas

[fishyman]

Ray, do you fish other lures much or mainly spinners?

[MichaelJ]

corecct me if im wrong but dont spinners mainly work in warmer months and other lures better in winter?

[STU]

Mate they will work all year round but they are a reaction bait so depends on what mood the fish are in, they might want finesse like plastics. spinnerbaits will catch fish year round on the edges I have caught bass winter and summer on them and deep, really its see what is happening on the day

[Dinodadog]

S/baits work any time, the reason you have not seen to many reports on plastics is the amount of grass jungle on the bottom.

Sorry Ray I'll just tag a couple of lines onto your post. I got 3 small bass and mate got one just as we were leaving. I also broke the bail arm on my reel and had to get my s/bait back in by hand.

Look where the spinnerbait is in that fishes mouth he inhailed it he must have realy wanted it. Nice fish though the fish from there realy look good compared to some othar dams.
