Ok I've started a forum comp for the heaviest bass. The rules are pretty relaxed and if there are several people on a similar weight then they both win (sorry no prize - just a forum badge ;)).

Just catch a bass weigh it (return it or eat it) and post your weights. As Allan isn't a forum member his bass is as yet ineligible (maybe he will join) ?

So the heaviest bass this year to date is Lobbers 2lb from Whitby Beach

So just catch a heavier bass to steel the award from lobbers.

Lobbers forum awards to date.

I had a good bass 2 weeks back at Cayton, It might have been bigger than that.

After seeing my mate Allen catch that bass the other night
iv,e got the bass bug so armed with some fresh crab and fresh worm
headed to sandsend beach(were where ya lobbers)to fish a couple of hours of the flood,started of with a couple flatties then got a schoolie about 12 inches long,not the 4 pounder i was hoping for to get my forum award but its a start. ;D

Nice one mate good to here. I have a couple of theories about these bass Mike and Although I haven't a clue what the hell I'm talking about I think there are several places that are definates for a big bass and most are on very shallow scars. I wish I could motivate myself to go try them. Was gonna go last night but felt tired out. The place where Arthur Mack always fishes in his yellow wellies has to be a good spot. Also I think both bats could be good around high water.

The forum award will soon be against my name ;) ;D

im having a go tonight, ive got a few monster rag fresh peeler and hopefully a trap full of butterfish ;)

Baramundi Bob · « **Reply #16 on:** May 13, 2007, 12:56:37 PM »

Butterfish ? can you tell us more Baz ?

robq · « **Reply #17 on:** May 13, 2007, 01:06:40 PM »

I,m interested in hearing about butterfish too. I once heard a story from a filey lad whilst up on bennys about a mate of his mate who uses small rockling/blennies and butterfish as livebait ?? He reckoned that he had caught a double figure cod lobbing 20 yards to the left of bennys ! I found it a bit hard to believe but he was adamant it was true !!

baza · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2007, 01:09:48 PM »

butterfish hooked through the tail flicked out onto sand as close to the rocks as you can, if theres a bass within 50yrds you will hook him, quickly, butterfish work best in my experience though blennys work also but they dont seem to wiggle as much.ive set a couple of traps this morning. mine are the round type for crabs but i find that a 2ltr bottle with the top cut off and pushed back inside top first and baited with rag of mussel and dropped into a rock pool works very well also

Baramundi Bob · « **Reply #19 on:** May 13, 2007, 02:37:57 PM »

Which ones are butterfish ?

Will have to give this a try. Thanks for that Baza a very useful tip mate.
