Bass Fishin Mission

Tweed River Fishing Charter

Visiting ‘ofishionardos’ from the UK worked hard for their fish but the rewards were all the more sweet!

Trollin, trollin, trollin.

Larry, Logan and Jacob spent some quality time on the water today chasing Australian Bass. The boys persisted throughout the morning casting all types of lures to the edges of the lilies, without so much as a touch. It wasn’t until we switched to trolling that they found some good fish. Bass often only respond to a hand full of techniques on any given day. Cycling through the tackle box using a variety of techniques is key to ‘cracking a pattern’ for that day. Today, the lure of the day was a Jackal Derabreak with a Plazo yellow core paddle tail grub.


Lake Fishing Charter 1st Feb, 2018

The “pressure is on” when one fishing guide hires another fishing guide to go fishing. Especially when the customer is an expert guide such as Rohan Soulsby from Top End Barra Fishing. Rohan operates his charters from Darwin targeting iconic species such as the mighty Barramundi, GT’s, Queenfish and Golden Snapper. So it was fantastic to see Rohan’s enthusiasm and appreciation for our southern native species. Out on the water this morning Rohan connected with plenty of bass, three of which were around the 40cm mark. I felt the pressure easing with each fish that hit the net. Clarrie Hall had done me proud again.

Thanks for a great trip Rohan. I look forward to visiting up your way for a fishing trip soon……no pressure mate 😉

 


Bass Fishing Trip January 27, 2018

The bass fishing was consistent today with plenty of fish moving around and feeding on the surface. Popping sounds could be heard throughout the morning as the bass inhaled small bait-fish at the surface under the lily pads. Robs small diving minnow lure was certainly the flavor of the morning, drawing at least a dozen strikes from some aggressive fish. Rob managed to stay connected to at least half of them, finishing the morning with a very respectable tally. Thanks Rob for a great bass fishing session!


Kayak Fishing Charter, January 2, 2018

Despite our early start, our surface lures were not enticing enough to elicit a strike this morning. However we did notice that there were plenty of fish sounding up in certain areas of the dam. It was just a matter of cycling through a variety of baits and presentations to see what would work. Today the bass responded to both hard bodies and soft plastics. Tony did a fantastic job and managed to net 6 nice bass all between 38-42cm.  Great stuff!
