I've fished the upper Richmond and ajoining rivers hard for bass in the past week with little result :'(

Think that maybe the bass are on the move.... Horny buggers ;)

This was the biggest I could manage all week. :-[

Matthias, wish I knew the bass secrets of the times around full moon.

We are on the mid north coast , night before full moon the bass were really keen, in about an hour around 7pm I had 4 good hits, one did not hook up, one spat the lure right near the dinghy and the 2 (C & R) I did boat went 40cm and 42cm. Also several other small ones in the 30 to 35cm range.
Although it was near full moon cloud cover mostly hid the moon.

Then the next night with no cloud cover and full moon I did not get a touch.

In my limited experience with bass fishing they sure seem finicky but when on the bite they really go mad. Also barometric pressure seems to play a part, the good night's fishing was with a storm approaching and a fair bit of insect activity.
