I am still using the bright colors because of the dirty water, its BB bright or black for the dirty water. Other reason was they were sulking on the bottom in about 10ft of water and couldnt pass up a nice pink large thing going past, well especially the big females.

Havnt been to the Brisie river for years, I was leaving them all for you Hamish. But both the north and south pine are full of bass at the moment, or until the bullies eat them all.

I put on the zmzn soft plastic pink and it lasted for 44 bass and was still OK,only changed to the baby bass color for the last half dozen bass as it was shallower.

Spent all night friday night at the hospital with the wife, blood pressure out of control, I didnt know I had that much effect on her,After I left at nearly 6am they said her blood pressure came down, so they sent her home. So with only 0ne hour of sleep during the morning, feeling like shite, I decided to go get amongst the escapees in the pine river. Well the lack of sleep and the pain left me as soon as I started reeling in some good bass.Couple of mates were arriving later and by the time they arrived to start the walk in I was up to 40 bass, then while waiting till they got to me I caught another 4. I left before them, saying if I fell over they could pick me up on the way back,well I couldnt help myself there was a good pool so I picked up another 6 to make the tally up to 50.Totally exhausted I made it back to the car and when I got home I skulled a ginger beer that someone left in the beer fridge, before the wife told me it was heavy in alchohole.Forgot to mention there was 3x 50cm bass amongst them.Hard to get up the bank.

Trolling is a bit slow out at the dam at the moment.

Got a $50 voucher for fathers day for BCF and already had 2 vouchers for Annaconda. So off to BCF first to get some beetlespins and jig heads, plus zman plastics. Well I got all that except the beetle spin frames. Off to Annaconda for a life jacket with pockets (because the hatch on my kayak is to hard to get at as its half under my ass and thighs) Never had any so got some line and a couple of lures and got another voucher for change. So later on I slipped down to the river for a quick session, never even thought about the gear I purchased was still in the car, forgot about it altogether. Anyway managed half a dozen in an hour before the back caved in. Paid the price last night as the bad old sciatica hit me at 1.30am this morning. Dino

A lot of people that eat fish dont bother when the water is dirty as the fish dont taste the same.

Got out of that one with a red elbow,no blood.Might have to slow down when I get to 80

I had a job to stay on my feet bankside yesterday arvo as the buffalo grass kept tripping me up.At one stage I had to do a para roll down a 10ft embankment, lucky the grass broke my fall and not my limbs. Anyway the fishing was crazy again,Mate Glen came with me, thats him with the big smile on his face after he landed a decent fish. Most bass were on the Zman pink paddletail, but before I left I was determined to get a few on the slime color one. Dino

Another arvo session,put the footy on tape and off to the local, not for a drink, but for a crazy arvo fish for bass. Although talking about drinks, I got a shock when I took a big drink from my water bottle, it was straight water, I grabbed the wrong bottle, should of been cordial. Anyway I walked until the back and legs refused to go any further and managed quite a lot of healthy bass. Aim is to get them before the bullsharks clean them out. Beetlespins, spinnerbaits and blades done the trick.Easy to see why we are only getting small ones in the dam. Dino

To many snakes for me to find out.

Used plenty of different lures yesterday arvo, but the pink was the winner.Caught some in the skinny water before I got to my usual spot, as the cloud cover made them brave enough to move out of their hidy holes. Dino

Went looking for some spring yellas this morning,no luck but managed a few bass from the edges, before finding a couple of small schools of rat bass. Dino

One of the best bush basher kayak is the fish bandit by extreme kayaks, but they are hard to find secondhand,one I have is a dragon kayak, very stable, only problem its hard to get into the hatch that is between your legs.

Sold my 2 kayaks and then bought a cheapy. Put it to the test for its second time this morning. With the rain, nearly wasnt going to go but glad I did, managed 16 bass on beetlespins and blades and home for a late breakfast. Dino

Headed off yesterday morning to a river not far from home, that I hadnt been to for quite awhile, walked the bank for 2 hours for zilch, not a touch.Managed to get through a barb wire fence only to lose my balance and fall on some barb wire left from the floods. I had my snake gaiters on but the wire still got my legs in a few places, I dont think they would hold up with a snake bite. So home for lunch and some wound dressing. Out again after lunch to a familiar spot and managed to get amongst them.When I arrived it was sunny and the fishing slow, but when the clouds came over it was like turning on the switch the bass came out of their hidy holes.Managed 3 x 47cm models amongst them, one had a tag that was tagged by Ray in 2015.Another looked like it had been attacked by something. Dino

I thought I spelt it wrong

m · Boating down koala straight, sipping my dutch curry soup, when all of a sudden my sounder lights up,bass,bass,bass.Managed over 30 in 2 hours then went down stream for 2 hours for nothing, except a few trolling. Then returned to koala straight and made the numbers up to 41 bass and one catfish. Dino

Wife had the physio,cleaner and massage yesterday between 12 and 3pm, so I slipped down to the local again. Bass were a bit smaller but the last one was a skinny and 47cm. Blades and beetlespins done the job again. Dino

Water was only a meter deep and it looked like a storm was on the way, I think this is where the luck came from.

Was sitting at home bored xxitless, so I dropped down to the local.Idea was to take a camp chair, bucket of shrimp and relax by the creek. Well when I got there I quickly found out I left the shrimp at home. Lucky I had a few lures, so headed to the water edge, flung my back pack right on top of a 5ft water python, it just grinned at me and slid into the water. First up got a few on beatlespins, then moved onto blades the bass just kept hitting the lures.For a bit excitement I put my foot down a hole and had to throw a rod with a fish on and take a star dive, lucky the bank was soft sand and I didnt bleed at all (thats a first )pic heavy. Dino

They were still there yesterday but not hungry, managed 24 rats.

Elecy motored down to the easten boundary quickly yesterday morning(well as fast as the elecy goes ). Found a school right away and got a few on the chatterbait, then they moved on.I was about to move when I looked at the sounder and it was lit up,so the words do not move kept ringing in my ears (dont know who was saying it) so I stayed and managed 53 bass all up, a few good ones but mostly rats. Bring on the clear water.Had to avoid a water python sunning on the ramp. Dino

Wife made me get rid of my 2 kayaks, but I missed them, so I bought a cheapie for 200.

Half from the yak one day then half from the bank the next. Dino
