The
Bass (dicentrarchus labrax) there is no mistaking that fantastic slab of shimmering silver
& is
the fish every angler dreams of catching and I am proud
to say we catch
our fair share every year, as you can see by these happy
anglers faces most of the fish on this page were caught
2007.
From May onwards
till early September is the best time for this great
fish ranging in size from two pound schoolies too
fifteen pound plus specimens which was our largest fish last year
the record stands at around
nineteen pounds 9oz and our area held the record for
many years and I am sure we will again.
Baits can vary from fresh mackerel our
favourite for big fish to rag worm & lugworm,
great for schoolies, the humble squid is probably the best all round
bait, with crab baits also popular,so as you can see there diet is very
varied. Lures can also be successful especially on the
offshore wrecks and we can advise you on these when
booking a trip.
Some of the most exciting fishing for us has
been offshore fishing with lures under diving gannets
and gulls once experienced never forgotten.
We can take you Bass fishing with a ninety
percent chance of catching one, but what we cannot
guarantee is the size you will catch, small fish on
light tackle are great fun & you will
certainly know when you have one hooked a big
bass fighting on the end of your rod is an experience to
be hold and what we are sure of
is you will never forget your Bass fishing day, and if you are lucky enough to hook
up with a big one your smile
may last for several days and the only cure is to book
another trip.
We are keen on catch and release but we
understand the difficulty an angler may have
releasing such a fish but as long as your bass is of
legal size we will leave the final decision of releasing
your fish to fight another day to you!!
