Bass fishing

[Rob Fisher]

Man was it hot and humid on the water yesterday! Got an early start and was on the water by 6am but the sun was beating down with zero cloud cover... fishing was good but pitching was the only way to catch them... half-ounce bullet weight texas rig with 20lb fluorocarbon pitched into holes in the stinking Hyacinth. Probably the hardest way to fish for bass but the most rewarding! Thankfully we go some cloud cover later but we had to get off the water at 2 pm because it was simply too hot... 14 fish for the day with 5 over a kg but no trophy fish worthy of a photo!

Time to spool up with some Tatsu 20lb fluorocarbon! Tatsu may be hellish expensive but nothing beats the strength! I just can't bond with braid for pitching so 50lb braid is off the reel and some Tatsu going on!

We managed to save two decent sized baitfish. Baitfish 2 - Gill net Zero!

Beautiful day on the water today! Cloud cover so not too hot and almost zero wind!

Fishing Mail! Yeh! The Jackall Cover Craw is awesome for punching! The thick body handles the heavy hook and keeps it away from snagging but is soft enough to open on the bite!

New weightless Pesca rod and new Shimano Curado ready for some Tatsu 10lb!

Did a bit of ultra-lite tackle fishing in the sea! Was after Karenteen and Blacktail just like I did when I was growing up on Tongaat beach! The first fish was a Karenteen (which was the only one caught this week) and then a couple of Blacktail (and they were the majority of the catch all week) and got a few Sergent Majors and a couple of Stone Bream. Only took the iPhone with on day one and not again due to the stinky bait situation!

Was a tough day on
Msinsi Albert Falls Dam
Falls yesterday for the FLW Compo. We must have caught eight million of these dinkies! We managed to work our way through all the dinkies to get a reasonable bag for the day of 3.5kg's for a sixth place!

Best day on the water in a long time! Caught over 60 fish between the two of us and the weather was awesome... no wind and good cloud cover! A perfect days fishing!

Sad. It's everywhere. Our Dams up here are in a state as well.

Was cold and wet on the dam yesterday and we were the only boat on the water and the fishing was outstanding again! No pics of catches at this stage because the next FLW comp is at the dame and spots are secret for now! Bazinga! Who spotted the ECIGSSA sticker on the front of the boat?
