Well,i took a weeks leave from work to get my mind together and take a break from the routine stuff and so on.............and to fish off course!!!!!!!!
A friend of mine allready went to one of the local dams on Sunday 30 August to go and check for good spots where i can find the bigger ones,needless to say we found a spot there must've been 20 bass all in the 1,6-2,5kg range but they only had one thin on theire minds and that was to SPAWN,it took us a good 3hours to see what they dont like to come to close to them and we started clubbing them like baby seals!
It turned out that the Mc Arthy 4"jerk-minnow(orca coulor) was the answer,we rigged it CBC style and the fish could not stand them,armed with my Polaroid glasses i could keep an eye on the lure as it fell into the nest and before it reach the bottom they HAMMER it,that seize fish in close range with 7lb Berkley Iron-Silk line with a metre of 20lb florocarboun made for big sports and a lot of line burns on my hands as i tried to stop them from ripping line from me Daiwa Regal 2500.......!!!!!
Well Monday turned up and i made my way to the same dam to fish my heart out,because there is about 4km water to fish,i started that afternoon,and manage to land more than 20 fish in a 5hour session all of them just over 2kilograms all fat as can be and fighting like nothing you can imagine,late that afternoon as the sun was setting i saw some big fish cruiseing in the shallows but this was BIG stuff (4kilo plus boys) i casted a blue and chrome chug bug popper at them and one came out and smashed it and took off with no brakes,this was like hooking into a nuclear submarine,she jumped 3-4 times and shook me loose,well that was only the end of day one......
