cheers...heres the mount...its a water resou0rce and sort of off limits where we got em but electric power only n no harm done.... oh yeah and the link again.....

The bass go slow over winter and dont hit lures much but in sept(our spring)they fire up and cruise the edges lookin for feed(craw,worms,frogs,small fry n fish)and are targeted usally with 8-12lb braid and a 12-14lb flurocarbon leader and one of the anove mentioned lures.....We got a flood the week before we got the fish which were feeding in the flooded edges......Note all fish came from a 100m stretch of water.....Been chas'n bass for 6-7 years now and it was the most awsome lure fishing in fresh water i have ever had....Barra included!!!!

Post spawn believe it or not!!!!Bass are also stocked in local dams and impoundments(Noth'n like the size of some of your dams n lakes)by local stocking groups and fisheries departments....They cannot breed in just fresh water as mentioned before so are a put and take fishery although 99% of anglers practice catch and release.....Most tournements are catch and release also....The week i got those fish me and 2 mates fished the flooded edges of the dam with spinnerbaits,cranks,plastics,poppers,fly,beetle spin's and any other lure we had catching between 250-300 bass for the week and taking only one trophy for a mount....A 3.24kg bruiser taken on 4lb fireline and 10lb vanish leader.....Awsome fishin....Heres a pic attached...

G'day lads.....Im from down under(australia)and a keen bass fisho too.....I found the site and was amazed at the info.....good job...I will have no probs sortin some gear when i have a crack at ya fishery for bass in the u.s... Anyways I thouhgt i might give ya all a peek at some aussie bass from a lil dam near where i live in Newcastle,NSW,Australia....Here's some pics to get started and i got a video of some of the biggest bass and best fishing i have ever done.... The video was shot of my mobile phone as we lost the $4000 vid cam when launching... > Anyways hope ya like it.....Aussie Bass grow too around 4kg maximum or 9lb and live in aussie rivers of the east coast which are tidal allowing the bass to migrate through winter and spawn in brackish(salt and fresh mix)waters before headin back upstream for the summer...They respond well to spinerbaits,crankbaits,lipless rattlers,poppers,finnesse plastics and deep jigging....There is a healthy tournement scene....Any ways gday and i hope ya like!!!!
