Good morning fellow Steemians! Yesterday morning I was up at 5:00 before even the sun woke up in an attempt to get to Primkop dam for some Bass fishing nice and early. The beast tome for Bass fishing is at sunrise or sunset.
It was a lovely cloudy but warm morning.
My fishing mate was picking me up but seeing as he is towing the boat and it is not possible to turn it around at my place without off-hooking I met him at the main road of the farm. It is about a 40 minute walk. So I had plenty time to "wake up" and breath in some fresh air.
Unfortunately my mate overslept as a result of our party that previous Saturday night only ending at midnight, and only picked me up at about 6:00, not a major issue as the ride to the dam is only about 30 min from my house, but we missed some precious early morning fishing time.
It was about 6:40 when we had the boat on the water. A little late as I mentioned earlier. We planned to be out on the water much earlier. Now having said that, obviously this affected the amount of Bass we would catch for the day. It was still not a bad morning. In total we caught seven Bass ranging from small to smaller. These little buggers were so busy and hungry that they took up all your chances of reeling in a decent size fish. the following was the biggest for the day:
We were on the dam till about 10:00 when they completely stopped taking our bait and decided to pack up and call it a day. The fun of Bass fishing is that it doesn't take up your whole day and you have the rest of Sunday to relax and get things done around the house.
