Early WINTER creek BASS | What lures are working??

G'day everyone! Some early winter bass was caught while testing out the Tiemco Hecate 7…great little lure, I think it can work quite well during the colder months.
Caught a few fish, but most importantly missed a few boils and dropped a couple of very nice ones too on other lures. This tells me that these freshwater pools I’ve been fishing have a decent population of bass that decided to stay in there during winter instead of heading down the salt…which means I can expect some more action during these coming couple of colder months 🙂
Please remember I’m in QLD and we are allowed to target bass in the fresh during closed season. Only tidal waters are closed for bass.

Great video mate. I love how your camera angle captures everything, it makes for perfect viewing. Thanks for sharing another top video, cheers Ramon 👍🎣

[@Off_The_Top_Fishing]

Thanks Jake, sometimes I feel like the side camera is sitting too far back but yeah that angle generally does tell the story in a bit nicer way than the head/neck mount only. Thanks for the support mate, cheers!

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

@Off_The_Top_Fishing yeah mate it definitely does 👌

Llàstima que el últim s' escapat. Com sempre el més gros. Un lloc espectacular.

[@Off_The_Top_Fishing]

Si, molt bonic tot aixo i no es gaire lluny. Una pena el que va escapar amb el ratoli…

Nice mate. Just wondering, what would be a good budget bfs bass fishing rod for me? I am based in the wide bay area. Nice vid as always. Cheers.

[@Off_The_Top_Fishing]

Thanks mate, unfortunately I’m not too familiar with the budget gear (I know Abu Garcia Zoom Safari series are cheap and good quality). But I can definitely recommend you joining a BFS group in Facebook that is focused mainly around budget gear. There’s some Aussie guys there with great knowledge in the area and I’m sure you will have a bunch of options to choose from in no time if you put up a post asking for advice. Hope this helps and thanks for your support 👍🏽 Group is this: facebook.com/share/FmnmKmC8jtAGvP8j/?mibextid=K35XfP

[@Localfisho11]

Thanks mate. I am already a part of the group. I will give the Abu Garcia Rod a try. Is it BFS?

[@TyCampbell666]

have you ever tried any of the lucky craft minnows in your creeks you fish?

[@Off_The_Top_Fishing]

Thanks for the comment mate, which minnows are you referring to? Small size pointers? I’m a top water addict as you can tell in my videos but I do love jerk baiting too…last Sunday I was going to do a jerks sesh with Duo 80SP and Megabass X70’s but I ended up throwing the mouse wakebait instead 😅 Please give me some recommendations on minnows and I will definitely give them a go in winter. P.S. every single sesh 3 soft wallets with around 30 divers (minnows and cranks) come with me and I rarely use any…I definitely should use them more

[@TyCampbell666]

any lucky craft minnow under 80mm that is a shallow runner will be awesome 👌 I am sorry as I can not remember the models but one of my favourites is the b freeze silent suspending. love the vids mate 👍 👌

[@Off_The_Top_Fishing]

@@TyCampbell666 thanks mate, I’ll check them out 💪🏼

[@CreeksessionsWithJD]

Awesome again mate .. they sure are slowing down. Interesting lure for sure. That mouse goes off dosent it. Keep the content coming mate, always a blast to visually join ya on the journey

[@Off_The_Top_Fishing]

Thanks for the support Jacob, I’m glad you are enjoying the content mate. Yeah I shave always had a soft spot for mouse lures and this one is the one I like the most. I know I still have a video or 2 of your channel to watch, looking forward to those too 👌🏼
