Bass Fishing Down Under

[Colin Linton]

Hi Folks,

Am a little lost for words at the moment      I will pick it up again in a few weeks.  I am truly sorry for your loss.

My appologies

Ok,

Attached below are few little fishies caught from below the main lake near home!!

But wait there's more 

Below are pics of the local river (if you could call them that) sytems I fish on a regular basis.  The first pic is actually taken from the bottom of Lake Samsonvale after the January floods here in Queensland from where I was taking this photo the water was about 15-20ft above my head and goodness knows how wide..

The second pic is one of me (my better side too) fishing a small river that connects to the rust water (Ocean) there were hundreds actually probably thousands of Bass that went over the wall when they released the water from the lake..........Australian Bass do not spawn in fresh water so it's not a bad thing when a few go over (as long as they survive the concrete slide) which helps to keep the wild stocks maintained.  In saying that it's a bit of a shooting gallery when they do release the water with rogues coming in and filling buckets with fish (legal limit here is 2 fish per angler) which end up in local restraunts unfortunately   

And the 3rd pic is my flash Bassnoe which since that photo has been pimped a little!!  Was thinking about wrapping it!!  My other boat is currently undergoing a makeover in saying that it's no Skeeter/Ranger/Bass Cat etc just a little Aluminium but it does the trick!!

Again appologies for my absence!!

And again,

First pic is 180 degrees from the previous pic below the dam wall.  You can see the water that went through layed trees and anything in its path to waste.  Also a victim of the slippery slide in the middle 

The next 2 are just my 2 boys who enjoy fishing just as much as I do!

And the last is a picture from one of our more picturesque lakes (Lake Borumba)  A great lake for surface fishing........Most surface action takes place on mornings such as the one pictured.  Our Bass are most active on surface at Dawn and Dusk and glassed out conditions.  Once the sun gets too high it seems to shut the surface action down.  Generally speaking we surface fish lily pads and bank side structure.

Good pics!  That water looks really muddy below the dam.

Thanks Redbone!

The pics below the dam were taken a few months ago, I am going to trek back out again this morning and take some more.  There has been a little water released since then and hopefully it's had time to clear up a little!!

Thanks!
