OK so i managed to sneak off for a few hours last week thursday, On condition that i have the nightshift(New dad and all) So me and a buddy hop off to Bass lake. Now i have been going on about wanting to visit this place ever since i read about it here(Thanks JohanVC and LGF) we get there at about 2. and get rods out. Now i have NEVER caught a bass before and my buddy has caught on the klip with the horney toad which works like a Bomb there.
from 2 to 4:30 we have NOTHING not a bite there were some lunkers swimming about but nothing could entice them we tried everything. Luckily for me i met another guy who told me to put something natural on let it sink to the bottom and retrive SLOWLY, so i whack on a baby brushog in a watermelon colour and on my 1st cast BHAM a fish, on my second another, on my third cast the fish broke me line( considering i was fishing double x 7lb line which i Will be changing soon), 4th and 5th more fish but by then it was time to leave. If it was not for that oke i would have THrown away all the bass equipment(very little btw). Now i need to buy a better rod and better line and more equipment. I would estimate that my best fish was about 750G - 900G, The issue that we had was that the fish were putting the lure right down there gut and it was difficult to get it out without a long nose which will be in my box the next time i go. Hope fully will be making another trip there soon.
