First overnight fishing trip - Headed out for spot x (found on google maps) for an overnighter session in the yaks along the brissie river
Got there around 12pm midday, on the water about 12:30 with all supplies packed on the yak.
Very very slow afternoon working just about every snag along the banks for nothing!
The guys at the local bottlo reccomended that we troll hardboddies and use bait (we laughed when they mentioned bait) and took no notice.
Around 3-4pm with not one bass caught, i thought id have a go trolling and then straight away, BANG, on.
As soon as I was on, all my mates ditched the snags and started trolling.
At about 5pm we had about 20 bass caught between us all (all small), with 1 or 2 catties.
Its almost sundown at this point so we setup camp.
Started a little fire, cooked up some sausages and had a few beers.
Up again at 6:30 for another day of trolling. Plenty of small sized bass caught, Biggest one at 39?
Great trip, definitely will be going back, maybe with warmer clothing next time, it was bloody cold!
Cheers,
Jack

Good stuff Jack - some good results for the time you put in.
I was gonna say it must have been freezing out. Good size bass boyz and 39cm is a solid fish. Must be dirty water were your getting em beingthe river and getting that many. They pull hard for there size to eh. Well done PS howd yah go with yah knots all sorted hah. Cheers DD.....
Yeh mate, the spot was in a perfect position aswell. Great way to spend mid-weekdaysOriginally Posted by kingcray
Yeh mate, was worried the first few hours with not a single touch!
We will need to get you back in the fresh water for a try, see if we can break that curse
Mate the 39 was pretty solid, I was surprised we got so many trolling, most of the takes were in the middle of the channel. My knots were all good todayno lost lures

I have cottoned on to you pirates
So you were trolling plastics and lures not bait I assume? Sounds like a great session once you got onto them!
Trolling hard bodies (not plastics) , i was using little divers in a purple colour
I wouldnt be caught dead using bait mate!
hahahahI have cottoned on to you pirates
when i first read the heading i thought, i hope you dont roll over in your sleep.....
way to go jack. sounds like a great outing except the cold bit.
fishing's as simple as 3 P's - patience, perserverance and PLASTIC!
Mossy has half a carton of HTFU cans left Jack,take some of them with you next trip
Bet if you come across a Cougar using bait you'll jump onboard young fella
Happy to share this spot with any Ausfish Kayakers now that I have sold me yak.
Cheers,
Jack
