Dont even joke.. I sight fished for catfish like that .. the dam next to homestead... was walking next to the highway.. early spring and saw barbel rising in clear water..
Went home got my 6ft rod a plattie and a float.. where they rose I cast at them and 20 min later i saw the bugger come up and nail the plattie..
Was a nice one.. I recon you can do the same with bass.. there is no better bait than live bait.. the problem most of us make is to cast into the vast nothing ness of a lake .. you should have a canoe or walk to where you see activity and land that plattie next to the bass .. .the rest.. is your story ....
Pitty we dont get platties in US.. i will tear em bass up on those boys..

Have had reports from several other Anglers in and around homestead that the Bass are waking up, they caught 6 bass there yesterday afternoon, all rather small.
2 other Anglers that were fishing the dam wall side caught several 2+ kg fish according to them.
Anybody else been out there recently and caught anything big, was catching with June Bug Flukes, small ones, and will try again in a day or 2 to go and see if the take on the larger Flukes or even Super Flukes.
What elseshould I try there?

There are deffinately bass there. I go there often and never leave there without a few bass under my belt. There is a big secret to this dam and so big that it took me about 3 years to figure out.
Early morning 6:00 to 8:30 top water lures
9:00 to 12:00 spinner baits not too big
12:30 to 1500 jerk shad and any other flukes, baby bass , water melon or orange pumpkin seed will do the trick.
15:30 to 18:00 top water lures
You need a float tube of some sort and need to work the reeds and the shallows just about the whole day. On average I normally bag between 5 to 10 bass when I go. If you or anyone wants to go there for a day and your tube is full of air then give me a shout, 0824458736, it is allways better if you have someone to talk to than listen to yourself all day.
