    I usually find with bass if there starting to follow your lure in and not striking it you need to change it up. Surface fishing for them usually only works well in early Morning and late afternoon unless fishing structure like Lilly’s and dense over hangs

    Day 1 of me telling you NOT to get Nev to make a video of one of the biggest threats to our ecosystems in the north. Tilapia, like carp, will destroy rivers. They are from Africa and released by dills who found they got too big in their aquarium. They will soon decimate all the local species of native fish when their populations grow. We have warning signs here to immediately report sightings of Tilapia.

    These rivers in this region are not called wild rivers for nothing. Attempts and plans have been made to dam them for irrigation but Greens have always jumped in to save them. Just as well. There are not that many rivers left in Australia that have not been dammed. Damming a river effectively kills the native species that need to forage up and down and have the wild swings of flood and drought. Beautiful Bass and to all those who kept calling Nev’s Estuary Perch as Bass should now understand they’re NOT the same fish.
