nsw mid north coast bass

[Member]

went out bass fishing for the first time this season in the nambucca river managed to catch and release 24 fish ranging from 15cm to 45cm, and i dropped a 50cm+ fish right beside my kayak right at the end

Thanks for sharing your day out. A genuine wild 50+ bass would have got the heart thumping.

What type of lures are your preferred choice there?

I tried a taylor made nippy nymph that was on the clearance shelf at BCF which accounted for most of the fish, kokoda bat is a good cheap surface lure which is what caught the biggest fish of the trip, basically anything in the 40-70mm range from surface to 2m with a wide swim pattern will work
I actually found the spot we fished using google maps, the sattelite view shows where the decent looking sections of river are and then I track back to launch points such as a road bridge

Good session! It's good to see the effort and your research paying off for you
