Hello from Australia

[Scales]

G'Day guys, I have been cruizing your american bass ites for donkeys so I thought it was time to register on one of them. So I have decided on this one.

I fish tournaments over here in Australia for our freshwater bass and also tournaments for a saltwater species called bream. I'm a sponsored angler so I know my way around so to speak.

The techniques that you guys use for your fish bluegill, crappie large and small mouth bass all work on the tournament circuit that I fish in. Yes I pinch some of your tips and they do work well.

The lures I use for the bream fishing are mostly in the 2 - 3" range for plastics with the Berkley range being my favourite such as bass minows and the 2" grubs. Pumpkinseed colour rocks!

For the crankbaits for bream we use small lures rough 1" - 1.5" that run around 6ft maximum.

For bass fishing I use lures a little lareger but not much. At the moment the lipless cranks are all the rage with the Lake Police Jackalls setting the standard.

Your Zara spooks, pooches and jitterbugs also claim alot of bass off the surface. I just love throwing surface lures around in the dark.



While I'm here I was hoping that some of you fine gentlman may be able to help me find a good supplier of some Gary Yamamoto Sugoi Mini Splash II surface poppers or perhaps recomend a similar sized lure please. These lures are no longer available in Australia. So if you can help an Aussie angler out I would appreciate it. Please don't suggest ebay I'm sick of waiting. I plan to buy bulk if available.


Anyway nice too be part of this site and I hope you guys don't mind an international guest every so often.

If anyone wants pics of the fish I chace I'm only to happy to show some, but since this is an American bass site I don't wish to intrude.

Thanks guys

Nick
