NEWKID 28,426 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Nice tale TC, any bass over 5lb is a crackng fish.. I'm yet to break the 10lb barrier, but you've got to keep trying.. Quote Link to post
terryd 8,925 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Got to agree with tc if you want big fish consistently you need big baits. You will blank a lot while your mate next to is yanking out schoolies on worm baits but I would rather sit tight for the bigger fish. My mate who is retired and addicted to bass fishing using razor in the first half of the season then for the later half switches more to mackerel though dead ones. His fish are for the most part in access of 4-5lb and he catches a fair few. Here is a 9.7lb on mackerel and couple of 5+ on razor he fishes small leads on a surf beach 1 to 3 oz depending on conditions and mostly into the night. Holds the rod as much as possible. Also bites can be the slightest nibble then the fish will bugger off an return. Some time just winds in a bit to give a bit of movement can also spark a take. I have done well with whole clams as well Edited October 5, 2014 by terryd 3 Quote Link to post
