Lot of people struggling out at NPD  But if you put the effort in and search around you can find where they are hiding,it was not looking very nice when I started off but then the sun started to show,I usually troll a different route each time and that way you get to see where the bass are moving to, then you can jig, cast or bait fish what ever your choice. Managed 38 this morning using all those methods and had the dam to myself.

I had a chicken and vegie pie with creamy sauce it was great, I know what I am getting next time.

Had a real good morning up at Baroon, then the cold winds sent me home via the warm pie shop. First pic is a school of bass, second pic is a school of spanglies and the third pic is when crossing the dam scary what, it goes to 148ft in some places when full.

Anyway the fishing was great, but I had to keep putting food in my mouth to stop my teeth from chattering. Managed 53 bass with the most on shrimp as the fish were that cold they couldnt inhale the lures.

Been off fishing for the last 3 weeks, I caught my left ankle on the side of the boat when hopping out.

Anyway the bass were pleased to see me, started off trolling, then a bit of jigging and finally found a good school happy for a nice sized shrimp. Managed 46 bass most around the 40cm mark, it was just so good getting out there. Oh tried a bit of bankfishing on tuesday not even a single bass in 3 hours.

Found it very hard out at NPD this morning. Schools that were there tuesday have moved on already, I had to be satisfied picking up the scraps. Managed 26 before the wind picked up and they decided they were not hungry anymore.

A great morning on the water at NPD yesterday, glassed out for most of the morning.Larger bass have moved into our area once again, lets hope they migrate up stream like they did last time and stick around for awhile.Managed 43 trolling, jigging and a few on bait.

Some solid ones in there, Dino. Must have given the arms a workout with 84.

There was a lot of rats amongst them that didnt warrant a pic.

Picked up new distance glasses, so off to Baroon to see how they would go. No improvement fo the first 30k so had to use the old ones, then changed to new ones and my eyes got used to them,argh getting old sucks.

Anyway the fishing was great, I love this dam, its pretty and the bass are always hungry. Managed 82 bass and 2 catties.Mainly fished 3 spots, started on jigs and when they got sick of them a few on shrimp,

Luck must of been with me as a couple pulled up not far from me and I didnt notice them catching any, so I finished up and moved over to tell them they could have my spot and as I got to them they had a double hookup.

Headed off from the ramp trolling,with quite a few picked up on the way down to far boundary.Each time Ifound a school I managed to get some on the metal jigs. I tracked down several schools, some would stay around for awhile and some were gone after the second fish.I found out why they are in our area, they are chasing the bait fish. Managed 68 before the back caved in.

Dino

Found a nice schoo lwednesday morning,I knew they were young as they were metal as anything. Spoons, slow blats and a few other metal lures done the job.When they got sick of one color I just changed and they were back into it. My last count was 76 but I got a few more than that, they just wouldnt go away,argh the misery of it all.

Dino

Tried many lures at Baroon this morning, bass loved them all. Managed 84 bass with over half on lures, rest on shrimp.
