Hey all, was at Homestead yesterday arvie! Managed a nice size bass around the 2kg mark off the bank. Lots of decent size fish schooling in the shallows and lots of missed bites. Worth a visit. Getting lots of bites on Chartreuse spinners only catch is the blades need to be colored chartreuse with a bit of red and slow rolled over the structure. Another catch is be prepared to possibly loose spinners to the rocks.

Nope, don't carry my phone or camera when fishing most urban spots have this fear of being mugged, sad but always in the back of my mind, look more like a hobo when fishing off the banks. Second nice fish in two outings I havn't been able to snap.

Good fish congrats!
Hi Errant
Can you maybe post pics of the spinner? I am new to the bass scene but we fish HS often for carp with huge success... Some very nice fish there. always nice to stay busy while waiting for carp.
Ps. I have tried many plasticks and cranks but have not caught one fish over 1kg mark at HS?

Also fish the dam wall side, plus tested the waters on the freeway side but lost too many goodies to the big sunken tree lol so gave that up until I launch the boat. Was also at the dam for a very quick session on Sunday picked up a nice little 1,5 or so.
Always try those reeds but havn't had luck, suppose it only my third outing there
homestead is my new sneak out while the misses and new baby are taking a nap!
