Chasing Bass with Motackle

Cameron Hall - Estuarine Specialist at Motackle & Outdoors

One of the most exciting and readily available species to target would have to be the Australian Bass. They hit hard, pull even harder and can only be found in this great country of ours.

The majority of anglers alike started off targeting bass with a garden worm and small unweighted hook, and while this technique still catches plenty of fish, catching them on lures adds another element to the fishing experience as you are the one chasing the fish and actively casting rather than wetting a line on the one spot.

Australian Bass can be caught all over the Eastern side of Australia. From high up in the mountains mixed into trout/cod territory waters, right through to where you can catch bream and flathead in the saltwater. Not forgetting the numerous dams from the Hunter region in Southern NSW, to as far north as Cania Dam in North QLD.

Selecting the right few lures can be difficult as there is a plethora to choose from and both river and dam bass at the right time of year will eat the same lures. However certain seasons, certain lures are definitely worth having.

Targeting Bass in Rivers

Bass are ambush predators, their dark backs blend in fantastically with tight cover whether it’s a fallen tree, overhanging rocks or a weedy edge, they're just waiting for an unsuspecting baitfish, prawn or insect to swim or float past! Lures such as a Bassman Spinnerbait or a Jackall TN60 are great “search” baits in rivers for bass. Both are fairly snag resistant and make a lot of noise and vibration which bass love to hone in on.

Arguably the best way to catch them in rivers is with a surface lure. A great choice for an area you’re fishing in if it has cicadas making a noise in trees so loud you can’t hear yourself think, are the DStyle Reserve, Megabass Grand Siglett or Tiemco Soft Shell Cicada. Working these lures slowly, twitching in the one spot like a fallen cicada buzzing on the surface, or a slow roll to get the lure up and walking out of the snaggy area you’ve casted into, bass just can’t help themselves.

Another must have surface style lure is the Biovex Jointed Bait Lure. Bass are always looking for small mullet and herring in distress to feed on and this lure casted in tight cover and twitched out slowly creates an injured action that bass just love to smash (72-110mm is the optimal size).

Here at Motackle, we have now created the Premium Clarence River Bass Pack (you'll find it under Essentials down the page) which has a great selection of lures hand-picked by our very own staff from some of the biggest and best brands in the game to target big bad river bass. Don't worry - it's not just the Clarence River that these lures will dominate in!

Targeting Bass in Dams

These guys can be caught at all times of the year, sometimes in double digit numbers for a session on the water. Wintertime you will find them schooled up off gradual sloping edges and points, anywhere from 12-40ft is a good starting point. Soft plastics such as the Keitech Easy Shiner or the new Rapala Crush City “The Suspect” rigged on a 1/4oz jig head or heavier during the winter months is a great way to target these particular fish. Don’t rule out a shallow edge in the early mornings and late afternoons with lures such as a jerk bait - 61-67mm Jackall Squirrels can produce some proper bass twitched back into deeper water from either a weedy or a rocky edge.

And in Summertime in dams, the bass move up to the edges more frequently early and late in the day. This is where surface lures, crankbaits and chatterbaits come into play. Cast tight to an edge, grassy or timber covered banks then slow roll out and hang on!

Overall, as mentioned in the first few lines to these tips, Australian Bass are readily available to us and fairly easy to target - so why not grab a new rod and reel as you’ve seen above, wake up early or stay into the sunset, amongst the bugs and trees to catch yourself one of these great native sportfish we get to call our own.

Tight lines everyone, see you on the water! - Cameron Hall
