Heita Bassers,

Went for a quick cast Yesterday at Strubens. Nice and warm, but eish, da wind!
As usual, blanked. I met up with a chap also bassin. He was there on Tuesday and saw a lot of bass in the shallows on nests, also caught 4  - 1kg fish.
Anybody else know of this, because apparently there where 5 people fishing there on Tuesday and everybody landed fish.
I use that place to test my new gear and lost hope of ever catching anything there again. Would be nice if I could get some good news from the Sea liners regarding the dam.........

Happy Dayz

Hey there Snyper!

I know about the late spawn, but this guy knows his bass. Don't know if some fish started spawning early? None the less, not to worried about spawn, just want to know if the fish are biting again.
BTW, check your PM.

Snyper: Just some info. Bass usually spawn twice a year. I know some of the dams in PTA have the second one in around Feb as I have taken a 2kg female close to a nest in Feb about 2 years ago at that Piervanrynefelt Quarry next to the highway.
But think the waters around there are still a bit cold for them to start spawning around there. Give it time till the end of the month. At all the dams I have been to around PTA there were NO signs of nests yet

1,2 kg bass, very healthy, very beautiful, caught yesterday at Strubens, BY A GUY FISHING NEXT TO ME!

We were both casting junebug brush hogs. Fish was caught off the reeds by the bridge.

That's it! I'm going to start a crab fishing forum on Sealine, seeing that it is all I am catching lately. Caught another beautiful 100g specimen yesterday, on a brush hog.
