From the bank perspective yes! I nailed over 10 in a two hour session on Saturday morning. Nothing impressive size wise, but they took my cranks exploding off the surface (So summer is definately here
). Dont know how the guys did in the main dam, but a mate of mine got over 45 in the smaller connecting dam from his float, but he was in most of the day. And
personally saw him get a few sizers 2Kg plus. His choice for the day was brush hogs and the same crank as I was using. Seemed to be the order for the day.
Sunday, I over slept and managed to squeeze an hour session in from the banks! And this is where things get interesting!
I get there around 16:00 p.m. Quite a few bass guys, so I knew the fish were on the bite, spoke to a guy I saw yesterday, he says its much slower than Saturday, and they are just getting rats. But I noticed they were using deeper diving cranks and spinners. So ~I changed tactics. Trusty old Baby Bass colored fluke with a 5# hook comes out and I set off. Moving up and down the road between the dams, not even a knock, tried a few frogs cranks etc etc... Put the Fluke back on, had a cast and that was that. I was gatvol and hanging like a mofo, so I decided to go home. Jumped the fence and Looked at the water from the bridge and I thought one more cast wont hurt. Lol. Got a nice 2KG +. ran to car, grabbed phone and fishing friend, snapped pics and released. No scale
Now things got even more interesting. I few guys saw my catch and approached me. They had seen a guy catch a 4.8KG caught off the exact spot I did earlier that . I dont believe without pics. So I asked
And and all three took there phones out and showed different pics of the fish and scale weight. ::respekt:
Sad story though, the fish never made it back into the dam.
Apparently to eat!
The local game were also there in full force on Saturday, and on inspecting there catch bags of dead bass and kurper. There were 2x2kg + in the one alone. And they were telling me story's of there friend who had caught one twice the size earlier. A papgoier confirmed this later on. WTF? What do you do? What do you say to these people? We pay to go there, they dont, they fish just behind the gate or jump the fence and fish the bridge. This is where the sizer was caught! The owner does nothing about it. And they are f#cking up a good dam. One of the best bank angling places near me. What would you do?
Pics to come
