was not goin to post as it was a short session with only small bass. was busy all day only got out for h.w.went to try a gully were i had seen a few nice bass a while back, spotted 1 of about 6lb. that seen me and moved out of sight first few casts the lure got stuck, tryed to free it,no way, seemed stuck solid. cut the line and was tying it to a rock when it came free, had retreved few yards of line by hand when it got taken hard by a fine bass tryed to play it by hand it ran till there was no more line to give, it surfaced and went crazy manageing to throw the hook.
sometime later i returned to the same spot and got 1 of a few lbs. few casts later the lure got stopped dead, i could feel something then it surfaced an OTTER :shock: it dived as soon as it saw me i held for a break, luckly the hook lost it hold, think i had it by the paw..weird.

Nice one there cortaz.....what do you think of using deep diver for bass???Do you used it in deep water or on shallow water(bottom bumping) as well???Had a few deep diver as well...but never use them yet for bass...

joe, they are good when the water is a bit coloured, or when you are high above the water,... were poss. i try and use 3 lures to cover an area top,popper , middle regular , bottom deep divers this approach gets me a few extra fish.... bumping the bottom is very effect at l.w. goin out now today+tomorrow 2 best days of the month, tomorrow between 12/2 p.m. i WILL 8) get bass. the first 2 hours of the new tide,, go fishin tomorrow u shoud catch..........

Hope your right about that Cortaz...booked a day off tomorrow to test your theory :wink:

nice photo's cortaz, have you ever used shrimp for fishing?

m.c. shrimp are very good for most fish, snap of the head run the hook tru the tail part, so the thick end is near the point whip the tail end near the hook eye, as good as most other baits, deff. the most underrated bait, and it can be so easy to get, its the staple diet of bass, freeline floated, legered, dead or alive.

thanks cortaz
