Hey Rob,
Thanks for the feedback.... Sorry that the fishing side of your day was not so lekker... but I feel a little better about our lack of fish...
A guys came and chatted to us while we were at one of the bays and and said that he caught about 4 of +- 1 kg using june bug dead ringer texas rigged but according to him the bite went off in the afternoon...
I am really keen to get my game up... I am taking my Dad fishing for bass for his first time and would hate his first bass experiencing to be sunburn and nothing more...
Great report back btw... that Neels looks like a naughty bugger... I think I know him from somewhere...
Anyhow heres hoping the fishing starts looking up...got new rod new reel and itching to give them a go...

Hi Rob,
Thanks for that. I was just having a look over the last four days and it seems like Friday 3 December there was a significant and constant drop in pressure.
Am I wrong in assuming that that would have been a good days fishing or would other factors have influenced it.

No that's a good assumption... but yes other factors come into play and these little green friends of ours also don't always read the same manuals as we do so there is always the exception to the rule.
But... as a good guideline a dropping barometric pressure gives you a far better chance of getting some fooshies!

Okay so taking my Dad bassing on Saturday... I cant believe that he said that without his Grand kids he will get bored easily.... @#$%!
I need to plan the fishing so that he at least catches a few... and doesnt ended up raging me forever about my Bassing skills....
Yoda Bassmaster Rob I need your help... and anyone offerring for that matter.
Summary
Found that the lighter colour Flukes were working in the afternoon near the Dam wall and Dinks taking watermelon in the bays...
Barring pressure and weather .... waht to do???
I dont want to be ragged alll through the festive season...

Ryanie you need some shaky head jigs and some squirrel tail worms in case the fish are shy (and they have been of late)… and fishing weightless flukes (light colours) or on light mojo would seem to be the order of the day.
Howie and I will be there on Saturday as well so come say hello and we can chat more then…
PS I think you may need to take your rain gear as well!
PPS we should all be at the dam now judging by the barometer!

Thanks a mil PH and Rob,
Yes I have been watching the barometer.... a little too closely I might add... Missus thinks I have a "stekie" on the net... by now she should have realised my problem with Bass "Porn" as she calls it.
Rob on Saturday if you hear an anoying buzzing sound behind you while you are cruizing with that big 'ol Merc XS grey hair blowing in the wind flying past all the poor okes in their ancient little rigs giving the royal wave with your throttle just under halfway...it just might be a bright red little rubber duck tryin' ta chase you down.... and no it wont be Msinsi kerels, so no need to hide the six pack....then ease back a 'lil and I might just be able to come say hi when the clatter "BANG BANG" of my 1963 Yamaha 'Ol Faithful" finally dies down and every fooshie for miles around has scatterred to a new province...LOL!
Big thanks for all the help and hopefully will start a new thread next week...with pics...
