First spring Bass

Hi Gents

I took one of my friends to a pvt water close to whitbank two weekends ago to see if we can break the worst ice of the bass kit.

 

The water was still freezing, but we saw soem bass acively feeding in the shallows. We went in the afternoon to see if the sun could not thaw some of the bass and get them into a feeding mode.

The day was slow but we managed about three fish in three hours including a fat momma of about 2.2kg. (Weighed on a digital scale).

She was waiting under an isolated grass pad about 1m in diameter. I cast onto the pad trying to drag the fluke over the grass to assend slowly off the edge. But she had other plans. She hit the fluke on the grass and sent it flying. I let it drop back into the water and she came to collect.

Lekker man, awesome vis.

 

Moet dit asb nie verkeerd op vat nie maar gras maak die vis regtig seer. As jy die oukie gaan laat gaan maak jou hande nat en hou die vis in die lug. As die oukie 'n monster is vat een hand in die lip en een hand onder maag.
