A big thank you to Dan Molloy and his partner for running their first Bass Electric in yesterday’s heat.
Petersen used a Strudwick 1-3kg rod matched to a Shimano Stradic 2000 spooled with 8lb Fins braid and 8lb Yamatoyo leader. Heading straight across the dam to the bay where the cabins are located, he worked a 200m stretch of weed edge throwing a 1/4oz Tiemco spinnerbait.
“I had 8 legals by 8.30am and 3 upgrades, the bass either came from behind the weed or the front dropoff,” he said.
The next BASS Electric is at Clarrie Hall, March 6. Call ABT on 07 3387 0888 for further information.
