Went out this arvo and found the fishing difficult. Persevered and experimented though and eventually caught and released 3 bass and a fork tailed catty. The biggest bass went 40cm with the other two hitting the 37cm mark. Tried many different lures, but in the end it was a purple and black spinnerbait that did the trick. :) The fish were caught late arvo/early evening. Nice way to finish off my weekend!

A forky survived the kill???? wtf!

Forkies are native and have every right to be there - killing them for nothing is ignorant BS

Jim, I think the forkie surviving comment was as a result of the recent fish kill in the river which seemed to affect only fork Tailed Catfish

Yeah, I was a bit surprised to see the catfish. Looked very healthy too. He was about 45cm. I know people bag them as a pest, but he was fun to catch, and I say treat them all with respect. To be honest he was a welcome catch at that stage, because I thought I was going home without catching a thing! :)
