Hi Guys
I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Werner, I am form South Africa and I love reading the Bassing Tips, especially the ones on Facebook!!
I have been bass fishing for a good 10 years now, but I still learn every day.
I have quite a bit of questions for anyone willing to answer them for me? I do most of my fishing off a fishing Ski or what you guys would call in the States a kayak. I fish big lakes off it or small dams and ponds on private farms. Majority of my fishing is on the private dams or small ponds on the farms. Now I have been fishing here for years,I have seen the big fish, caught them and seen my brother in law catch them too. But i stopped fishing there for about 3 years and I am back there now and the fishing is good, but all of them are between 500g and a 1kg. The odd one is about 3-3.5lb, but I am just battling to get the 6-8lb ones and I know they were there the last time i fished there and I know nobody else fishes here as it is not public dams they are privately owned by a friend of mine and he told me no one else fishes here.
I need advise on what could be the problem, I have tried all tactics that I know and that I have read up on on catching large bass, and i have been very patient.The fish cant go anywhere so they must still be there.It is currently mid summer by us and the area i fish in can reach in excess of 37-40 degrees celcuis mid day, now I am an early bird and I am there 4:30 in the mornings at first light.
Any advise and help would be appreciated!
Cheers
Werner
