Type of Water: River Type of Fishing: Shore
Target Fish: Whiting
Bait\Lure\Fly: Pipis
Fish Caught: 1 x whiting @ 30cm
Comments: We go to Bass River all the time, every day nearly. We ALWAYS catch something. Last time we went we caught about 3 whiting and a short finned pike. We caught the pike seconds after putting a lure on. We have tried using squid and we got NO bites at all. But as soon as you put the pipis on you can feel the bites seconds after casting it in! I advise not to go on a windy day you get loads of sea weed. Also I advise to walk right up to the end of the river! Have fun guys/girls!!
