Maroon BASS Electric- 6th May

53 Anglers gathered on a cool gusty morning for the Maroon Electric comp.
With the wind dropping off later in the morning the renowned surface bite would be a hard option.

Many anglers shot off to the rear of the dam while a few tried their surface luck close to the start point.

It was the same story over the dam with small fish being the only ones willing to commit to a bite.
Taking top place was Dave Trinder which was one of a few to secure a 2 fish limit.

Sufix Lake St Clair BASS Pro- Final Results & Story

Clancy Claims Maiden Win at St Clair

ABT BASS Pro regular Daniel Clancy continued the trend of first time winners in 2012, taking out the second round of the Smak Lures BASS Pro lures, the Sufix presented Lake St Clair Bass Pro.

Showing the consistency that defines a winner, Clancy caught his limit each session to compile a 6/6, 4.62 kg two-day limit and claim the win from a fast finishing Mark Lennox.

Fishing the Carrow Brook arm of the lake Clancy’s money bank was a 50 metre long, slow sloping bank with a small channel running through the centre of it.

Here he would position his boat on one side of the channel and cast across the channel before starting a slow rolling retrieve with a twitch imparted on every fifth turn of the handle.

Isis BASS Electric - 15th April

Mark Hits the Mark

  The first Isis bass electric for the year attracted 33 anglers and while the fishing was tough some great bass were weighed in. Winning by over 250g was BCF Employee Mark Lockwood. Lockwoods lures of choice were shallow Jackall chubbies in bluegill and brown shrimp colour. Lockwood landed his first bass at about 6.20am and had bagged out by 8 am. He targetted edges around the dam and also the timber. The winning tackle was 6lb Fins windtamer braid and 8lb and 12 lb Yamatoyo leader spooled on a Daiwa Sol 2500 reel with matching rod.

  Nipping at Marks heels was a new comer to the bass electric series, Jordan Renz. Jordan secured 2nd place using TT blades which he hopped through the middle of the dam. Renz landed two similar sized fish, catching the first at 10am and the second at 11am. The tackle used was a rod custom built by local rod building legend Tim Mulhall teamed with a Shimano Stradic Ci4 reel spooled with 4lb Berkley fireline braid and 10lb leader.

  Out of the 33 anglers fishing the tournament 17 weighed in bass. A total of 29 bass were weighed in with an average weight of 0.931kg.

Blue Fin Boats BASS Electric- Cressbrook 11th March

With the Dam opening back up on the Thursday before the comp date, 57 anglers fronted up at the first Cressbrook Electric Round for 2012. With no fishing pressure for 4 weeks during the closure but with water going over the spillway for that period the fishing was going to go either way. 18 anglers optioned up hoping that the fishing was as good it was just prior to the dam closing.

The better fish were always going to come from the buoy line near Deer Island and those with the fastest boats were going to be in with a good show if they were one of the first ones there.

Shaun Falkenhagen was one of those first to arrive and boated his 2 bass limit in his first two casts. Shaun's first bass was a 31cm bass and his 2nd bass was a good one at 1.28kg's. This fish went on to become the big bass for the comp. Not long after Shaun's 2nd fish the fish shut down so Shaun was happy to have 2 in the well.

Blue Fin Boats BASS Electric- Brogo 11th March

Six anglers fronted the Brogo Dam stage where Glenn Hayter claimed victory at the inaugural Brogo Dam ABT Electrics.

It took a while for all anglers to work the dam out after a massive water intake from resent rain. Up to 1.2 meters of water had gone in and out over two days.

Glenn presented  4/4  3.165kg and Big Bass at 0.990gms a finesse presentation as tight as possible to the reeds with a 1/16th jig head and gulp 3inch minnows , if the cast was not 1cm from the edge they wouldn't take the plastic Glenn said.
