No Ray thats the end of my tap stick.

Fatties were at it again out at North Pine yesterday,managed  over 50 with a couple of 50cm models amongst them.Trolling and shrimp done the damage. With the water level going down each day, you would think they would be easy to find, but this is not the case, you have to cover a lot of water to try and track them down. It also makes it hard trolling, when the depths change all the time.

They are definitely looking pretty well fed.

Nice work Dino.

is that a tag in the last one? Seems to be a strange angle. Some good fish there.

Another hard day braving the wind and cold for 60 bass and one tandanus. Shrimp were very scarce it did not make any difference where the pots were located in deep, shallow near rocks or in weed beds. Bass were scattered with a lot of fish under 30cm.

Some fatties alright! We'll call them well conditioned and "pleasantly plump"👍

Good work Dino, looks like it was worth going out. 🙂 

They'd have put a bend in the rod.

Fat alright!!!!

Nearly didnt go this morning, moved a heavy outdoor setting (instead of waiting for help ) and damaged my back. Any way fished through the pain, as you do. Managed over 40 bass mostly trolling, with some nice fatties getting about.

Popped down to the river for a fish a couple of arvo this week to see if the trout are back from spawning yet.
It looks like they are, I managed a few between 6lb and 8lbs so with any luck there might be a nice fat 10lb finally in my future as the average size is pretty damp good ATM.



 

Good morning at the western arm this morning with 61 bass between the 4 of us.We did not have many shrimp to start off with and the second spot we tried the bass were a good size and hungry until we ran out of bait so we then went and checked our shrimp pots for a meagre result. We then went further upstream for just a few scattered fish but they were good quality with plenty of fish over the 40cm mark and only about 6 under 30cm. Water is starting to clear. All fish caught on live shrimp and we left the eagle hungry with only 2 barred grunter caught. Bit of a social day running into old mate Daz and his wife Karen for a chat. Daz had a garmin 80 lb on the bow and it was faultless not moving off station using the spot lock whilst my Kota was moving around on its 5 ft radius. Our next visitors were the rangers for another 15 minute chin wag. When we got back to the ramp the rangers were doing a mobile patrol in there ute checking up that the people in the car park and picnic area were doing the right thing. 
Cheers Ray

Headed up the highway this morning to lake Baroon,it was a magic morning, glassed out for most of the time. I started off trolling picking up the first bass right near the ramp. As I said in the heading I managed 70 plus and stopped counting, trolling and shrimp.
