Game Farm Fun

[Bigmouth]

Hi All,

Decided to go and try out a VERY full game farm dam on Sunday.

Conditions was not very good and a north easterly wind was howling.

This dam is very difficuilt and you have to work very hard to get your bass.

I caught 5 fish for the day (lost 4).

Here are some of the beauties I caught.

As you can see in some of the photies, there is quite a bit of structure in the dam so I had to use HEAVY tackle.

I used 4 different lures for the 5 fish I caught.

1/2 was caught on a black horny toad

3 was caught on a swimbait

4 was caught on Junebug U-vibe senko

5 was caught on a Junebug brush-hog

Comes to show that when fishing is tough one has to play around with lures to see what works.

The water was very cold so I guess the winter is almost here.

Great catches - HECTIC timber in the background there! Ja, winter almost here so gonna start slowing up big time! You said heavy tackle - what strength line did you use? Always a bit scared to fish when its thick like that so would be interested in hearing your tactics.

Lyk goed. Ons moet plan maak HA HA HA

Shortcourse: I would not go over 14LB but would first try with 12LB. IF they break me then I will go to 14LB

I used 12 lbs mono as a main line, a 15 lbs Flouro leader and a 20lbs biting trace.

I used 2 rods for the day Berkley Series 1 & Shimano Cumara.

Reels were Abu Revo STX & Revo Toro.
