Went for a fish a couple of weeks ago targetting bream with a small popper in a nearby saltwater/ brackish creek. I sure was stoked to catch two nice bass around 35cm, (no bream though) and they put up a great little fight before being released in good health. I think I'll be chasing them more now that I know they're around.

Good stuff mate, that'll be my next target species, If I can con Keith into sharing the secrets of thirlmere lakes!

couple of nice fish there mate well done, best way to catch bass on the surface
cheers

Lovely fish there Crowbuster.

On my to do list---- Bass on flyrod popper
Cheers

Thanks fellas, yep they are a special fish indeed and too valuable to end up on a dinner plate I reckon. Barbless hooks help a clean release too.

ps forgot to mention I also caught myself that day when I got the lure caught on a tree and gave it a tug to retrieve it. It let go and flew back at me like a bullet, right into my leg (ouch)! Lesson learnt there...
